Abstract
This paper examines the Communications Decency Act of 1996, arguing that it should be rejected because it represents the hidden agenda of a radical Christian Group, the Christian Coalition. The paper argues that this act would restrict free speech that is protected by the U.S. Constitution and that its primary purpose is to restrict pornography. The paper further argues that the Christian Coalition should be rejected as a whole because it is an extremist organization that would end freedom and democracy as we know it.

From the Paper
"The Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA) is going to take your right to free speech and privacy away. This document, signed into law by President Clinton, if upheld by the Supreme Court will completely rewrite free speech laws as we know them (Kniffel 1). Basically, free speech will become a thing of the past. Furthermore, it will give communications providers across a wide spectrum the authority to censor any questionable material that passes through its communications links."

Abstract
The paper discusses the role of internal corporate communications in organizations and how problems can be solved internally. The paper explains corporate communications as one-sided communication and describes the problems that may arise from this process.

From the Paper
"Many companies consider internal corporate communications to be one-sided communications from management to employees. Companies may be creative in the way that they formulate those communications using newsletters, staff meetings and even Internets as the medium of communication but the process is rarely considered strategic or quantitative. Increasingly, however, analysts are coming to realize that corporate communications occur regardless of whether companies plan those communications or not and even a lack of communication is itself a type of communication."

Abstract
This paper examines the Global Communications scenario and provides a gap analysis that focuses on the company's internal communication problems. Its communication distortion, barriers, and hierarchy are examined, and recommendations are made concerning how it can close the gap between its current situation and end-state vision.

From the Paper

Although the organization ostensibly is in the business of communications its own internal communication channels are inadequate, impeded by barriers and causing important information to be distorted and lost. Above all upper management has set up its own barriers by refusing to communicate vital issues to the union or to workers resulting in negative responses to its decision."

Abstract
The paper explains how a crisis communications plan is a vital aspect of virtually any business. The paper discusses that this plan is a companion to the crisis plan that is put into effect after a crisis has taken place; therefore, one aspect of this plan is to calm a heightened situation with reasoned thinking. The paper adds that a second aspect of the plan, however, is to strategize a process that will be put into force when such an event occurs. The paper shows how a crisis communications plan in that aspect can provide access to critical thinking and swift action at a time when such things are difficult, if not impossible.

Abstract
The paper studies the use of celebrities in marketing communications. This includes the origins, rationale, advantages and disadvantages. The paper discusses the methods of gauging the effectiveness of celebrities in marketing communications.

From the Paper
"The use of celebrities in marketing is as old as marketing itself, at least in the organized mass-communications sense. Picture histories of advertising show that as soon as true advertising campaigns emerged from the background of storefront signs and the equivalent of classified ads in the th century they began using the images and endorsements of actors and actress sports stars and other public figures who in modern terms we would describe as celebrities."
