Abstract
This paper reviews the idea that it is often said that compliments are speech events that must be carefully negotiated within their particular social context. With this consideration in mind the following paper observes three naturally occurring compliments. These three compliments are communicated to another party in three different settings in which the person dispensing the compliments has not been prompted to provide them. In the process of so doing, the paper discusses the various ways in which the compliments can be successfully conveyed - or have been, as the case may be.

Abstract
The paper relates that Chinese Traditional Medicine (TCM) is a medical practice that addresses the "mind, body and spirit" of the patient (Wilkowski 1). The paper explains that this function of Chinese Traditional Medicine exists because of the belief that when illness or disease strikes the person is impacted emotionally, spiritually and physically, therefore, TCM incorporates the use of herbal medicines, massage, Qigong, diet and acupuncture ("Traditional"; "Chinese" sec. 1). The paper notes that these forms of treatment have been researched and developed over the course of over 3,000 years and are performed by licensed practitioners who are trained specifically in TCM. The paper relates that today, there are approximately 4,000 students enrolled in TCM based practitioner programs in the United States alone because of the continued awareness that traditional Western medical practices do not provide the full scope of quality care that is essential for patient well being (Wilkowski 2). The paper also notes that the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health support the use of oriental medical practices as a "serious alternative or complement to conventional pain management and medical treatment" (Wilkowski 1).

Abstract
This paper explains the equation that caused the explosion of the 1960s was a simple one. ?Consumerism + cold war + denial = conformity?. The paper gives details about two leaders of the 1960s movement for change, Abbie Hoffman and Janis Joplin, each of whom contributed to the social protest mindset of the 1960s in a different way and became symbols of importance to the counterculture. The paper states that, if it were not for the 1960s, blacks might still be forced to the back of the bus, women would still be expected to stay home and not have career ambitions, and Viet Nam might still be going on.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The social protests began at various stages. The south had them erupting because of the segregation that was still an accepted practice in that area. Other parts of the nation had them because of the Viet Nam conflict and all that it represented by way of government lies and the loss of innocent lives. Innocence was destroyed during this era, as the younger generation pulled back the curtain of the Wizard and saw that it was only a man dressed as the American government. Once the untruths became evident, the grass root movement to change the nation took hold and social protest became a way of life for the American people."

Abstract
This concise paper details the criteria for choosing a productive and competent team leader. The writer contends and explains why a team leader must be a good role model to his or her staff. This paper stresses the need for positive motivation on the part of the leader as well as the material and emotional elements, such as rewards and compliments, which encourage the team members to perform at their best. The writer also explores the negative personality traits of a team leader which can result in the overall failure of the team.

From the Paper
"A team leader must be a good role model to his members. He must demonstrate the sense of the term "team" - that is, to work together selflessly and to achieve the goal out of every member's contribution. A team leader must serve as a bridge between his members. He must consider every member as a unique individual whose individuality can provide gain to the team. Moreover, he must promote equality among his members. Also, it is a very essential quality of team leader to have a good sense of open communication with his members. He must provide continuous team information to his members, such as team status, to make the whole team updated. It is also ideal for him to have self-acceptance, such as during instances when members provide valuable suggestions, or when he did something wrong."

Abstract
This paper explains that comforting and touch go hand in hand as compliments to traditional medicine and play a critical role in preserving the concept of compassion and caring as part of the healing process. The author points out that, through the emergence of holistic nursing, nurses are beginning to realize they are attending to the spirit as well as the body; their role is to do much more than administer medicine. The paper relates that, even though a number of approaches focused on the healing touch are gaining popularity in medical circles, there is still a lot of skepticism as to the validity of these alternative approaches as part of the intervention process.

From the Paper
"Modern medicine has advanced to the stages where personal contact and physical interaction with the patient is nominal. Historically, nurses have been the caregivers and have made touch an essential part of the healing process. There is sound medical evidence available that indicates that massage and touch can stimulate lymph fluid circulation and increase blood circulation as well as trigger the autonomic nervous system."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Gulf States countries realize that they can not continue to sustain their economies based on crude oil; therefore, they have identified the tourism industry as a viable option for the economy of the region. The author points out that the success of the tourism industry is dependent on regional stability, which is a problem in the Arabian Peninsula. The paper relates that tourism industry is labor-intensive; however, in the Persian Gulf region, the native population density is low, and skilled and trained workforces are generally imported from around the world.

Summary

From the Paper
"In 2002, WTTC organized the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa to identify the important factors and constraints that are facing the travel and tourism industry. (WTTC) Tremendous amounts of resources and investments are made by the private sector in the travel and tourism industry. The private sector is always driven by the need to generate profits and revenue for the organization making the investments at the same time these entities are expected to practice responsible behavior and observe the laws and regulation of the region within which they conduct business and behave ethically and morally in the region. Long term planning and resource development is also essential. It does not make financial sense for a corporation to build a multibillion dollar resort only to have to abandon it ten years down the road if the corporation has not been able to maintain the integrity and environment in which the resort operates.

Abstract
Providing an in-depth analysis of the content, methods, and intent of research helps us not only to achieve a greater understanding of the actual implications of the study in question, but also to assist us in determining the applicability of the study to our own research. This paper examines two very different studies for just these elements. Within the analysis, we will look at several aspects of each to demonstrate that, with careful reading, we can determine the relevance and strength of published research. The two studies chosen for this comparative analysis are: Penny M. Pexman and Kara M. Olineck's "Does Sarcasm Always Sting? Investigating the Impact of Ironic Insults and Ironic Compliments", and Yuko Mizuno and May Kennedy's "An Examination of Adolescents Who Were and Were Not Exposed to 'Teens Stopping AIDS'". What this paper will first present is basic information about each of the studies including the theory and key concepts advanced in the article, a description of the research proposed, including the hypotheses and research questions, a description of the methodology, and finally a description of the findings themselves. Second, this paper will determine the Worldview of the research and how that worldview affects the ontological assumptions being made within the work. Then, it will examine the epistemological and axiological assumptions being made. Finally, using Littlejohn's criteria, the theory of each will be evaluated.

Abstract
This paper examines the ways in which communication between the genders differs, and how these styles contribute to widespread stereotypes. In addition, language is used to challenge stereotypes, as depicted. Areas investigated include verbal approaches, language usage, interruptions and silence, talkativeness and topics of conversation, harmony and competitiveness, assertiveness and compliments, dominance and egalitarianism, body language, and behavior.

From the Paper
"The differences that exist between the verbal interaction patterns of men and women are not absolute. However, the communication approaches that are recognized between males and females have frequently been described as "report versus rapport," "debate versus relate," or "competitive versus cooperative." Men seek practical advice and straightforward solutions to problems, whereas women tend to establish intimacy by sharing personal difficulties and exhibiting empathy to reinforce relationships. (Monroe, 1999) In one study that involved men-only and women-only discussion groups, it was discovered that when women converse with one another, they tend to reveal a vast amount of information regarding their personal lives. They also examine a particular issue extensively, allow others speakers to conclude their thoughts, and encourage participation among all members. Conversely, men rarely discussed their personal relationships and emotions. Instead, they competed to prove themselves better informed about such issues as current affairs, travel, and sports. The topics varied quite often within a short time span, and over time, a stable hierarchy was established, with some men dominating conversation, while others meagerly contributed. (Coates, 1993)"

Abstract
Ferdinand of Aragon is represented both directly and indirectly in the text. Ferdinand of Aragon is one of the few characters whom Machiavelli openly compliments. However, as the research demonstrates, Ferdinand of Aragon is indirectly mentioned in several instances that contradict the praises openly bestowed upon him. Ferdinand of Aragon is often referred to as Ferdinand the Catholic. The research supports the thesis that when Machiavelli speaks of Ferdinand of Aragon, he his actually expressing his political views about he Catholic Church as a whole. Furthermore, the research demonstrates how Machiavelli uses Ferdinand of Aragon and passages about other prominent figures in the Catholic Church to express ideals regarding the separation of church and state that will eventually lay the ground work for many modern political ideas.

From the Paper
"Prior to the time of Machiavelli, Italy had lived in a period of stability and peace. To many the Catholic Church symbolized this peace. The Catholic Church was the governing force in the area. During the time of Machiavelli, many people began to see the corruption and greed the enveloped the supposedly pious leaders of the time. During the time of Machiavelli, the people began to view the Church as a symbol of greed and corrupt power. However, at that time the Church held so much power that it was dangerous to speak out against the Church. To do so could be dangerous and the person ran the risk of persecution or excommunication.
Many writers of the time wished to express their opinions and the opinions of those who disagreed with the Church. Dante's Inferno is a classic example of this technique. In this work the characters on the road to Hell embodied principles, rather than the actual persons represented. The ideals were hidden metaphorically in the characteristics and lives of the characters. Machiavelli used this technique also and Ferdinand of Aragon is one of the primary examples of the use of metaphor to describe the Catholic Church."

Abstract
This paper has references to her poems, "Beautiful Black Men (with compliments and apologies to all not mentioned by name)", "Nikki-Rosa", "Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day", and "My House". This paper also has references to four critics of the poems. The first paragraph of this paper is her biography.

From the Paper
"Nikki Giovanni was born Yolande Cornelia Giovanni, Jr. in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1943. When she was a child her family moved to Lincoln Heights, Ohio, in a black community. She spent time partly with her grandparents in Tennessee, though. Graduating from Fisk University with honors, she then attended the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University. At the age of 27, she found her own publishing company. She became not only a poet, but also a writer, essayist, editor, and an author of children's books. Despite childhood loneliness, Nikki Giovanni, as an adult, developed a strong sense of pride in her ethnicity."
