Abstract
Assertiveness is an important communication skill that involves standing up for one's rights while respecting the rights of others. It enables us to express our feelings, opinions, beliefs and needs directly, openly and honestly. It also gives us confidence, increases our self-esteem and enhances our self-control in everyday situations. As a result, assertiveness improves our decision-making ability and increases our chances of getting what we really want from our lives. This paper explores various aspects of assertiveness including the difference between non-assertive (passive), aggressive and assertive behavior, describes different types of assertion, and discusses the gender and cultural differences in assertive communication.

From the Paper
"Apart from the gender, a person's cultural background also influences the way in which he or she uses assertive language. In "collectivist" cultures such as that of Asian countries such as China, Japan or Korea, for example, individual rights are often considered to be subordinate to those of the group and values of humility, tolerance or subservience are considered as virtues; hence "assertive" behavior may not even be appropriate or desired in such cultures. In some cultures, it is particularly important to show respect and obedience to elders and parents; show of asserive behavior in front of elders would be considered to be particularly distasteful. On the other hand in countries where individualism is prized, assertiveness and standing up for one's rights are considered to be desirable behaviors."

Abstract
This paper discusses the attribute of assertiveness and its important role when faced with a conflict which needs to be resolved. The paper defines assertiveness and then differentiates it with aggressiveness.
From the Paper
"Organizations in every part of the world deal with conflict on a daily basis. Employees must cope with supervisor demands, customer issues and office politics, which often lead to differences in opinion. Assertiveness within the workplace is crucial to resolving these internal conflicts. Assertive behavior demands that an individual consciously handle situations clearly and fairly. In order to better understand how to be assertive, one must also examine behaviors that may hinder conflict resolution: aggressiveness and non-assertiveness. Once an individual understands these differences, he or she can then make conscious decisions to appropriately assert him or herself during conflict resolution."

"The teacher should always when speaking do so in a firm tone of voice and make eye contact with students, being responsive to appropriate behavior exhibited by students. Assertive Discipline is not difficult to implement and is effectively on a general basis. Assertive Discipline provides students who are misbehaving with the right type of attention for exhibiting good behavior. Parents are involved and through cooperation in discipline techniques, unproductive behaviors have been shown to lessen. Critics of the Assertive Discipline approach hold that children should be taught to follow rules simply because it is the right thing to do and further that the techniques of Assertive Discipline are forms of control that do not encourage critical thinking in the child and interferes with the child in development of self-reliance."

Method Determination
Media Selection

Globalization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Globalization is a current trend throughout the world that is having a large impact on missions. Where a missionary used to struggle to find things to relate to, a missionary can now enter remote areas of China and chat with teenage boys about the latest episode of The Simpsons thanks to the television. While globalization has many more negative impacts than positive ones, it seems, there are a few bright spots that can aide a missionary in his attempt to contextualize the Gospel or the media that he'll use to present it. In China, little kids swap Christmas cards without even realizing the meaning behind them; this presents an open door for a missionary to relate the Gospel to the child. Muslims, who are from a very exclusionary culture, are provided with access to pluralistic ideas through the television and the internet that might challenge their thinking enough to open them up to the Gospel ."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the classroom discipline system that was developed in 1976 by Lee and Marlene Canter, assertive discipline. The paper discusses the approach of assertive discipline and how the use of the assertive discipline program allows for the easy use of strategies that are practical for successful behavior management in the classroom when used by a teacher who works at building personal and trusting relationships with students.
From the Paper
"In addition, some things that will be helpful if you begin to use the Assertive Discipline approach would be to speak in a firm tone of voice, make eye contact with students, and be responsive to students when the proper behavior is exhibited. Assertive Discipline does not seem to be a difficult plan to implement and studies show that it is effective in classrooms for students with special needs and behavioral problems. Consistently giving the students the opportunity to think logically about what the results of their actions would be, should they choose to engage in a behavior that is not appropriate, will only increase the likelihood that they will develop into self-reliant adults."

Abstract
This is a paper that researches the different forms of business communication, including the transmission of ideas and messages over great distances. The author discusses the role of both verbal and non-verbal communication in the workplace, including body language and how different interpretations of language can lead to misunderstandings in the business world. The tone one uses, either verbally or electronically is an intricate piece of the business puzzle and can make or break any deal. The author also details the importance of communicating clearly and concisely in the global world of business where often different dialects can cause unnecessary confusion.
From the Paper
"Upon hearing this, the employee may interpret this to mean he/she is not working hard enough and get upset. This is a misconception of non-verbal messages. As a result of this, people need to watch not only the words and phrases they use, but also the tone of their voice. An employee should consider the tone of their message, whether depending on who they are speaking to and when. Tone is present in all communication activities. Ultimately, the tone of a message is a reflection of the speaker and it does affect how the listener will perceive the message. Tone can sometimes be difficult to consider when it is presented over a technological medium. Unarguably, however, tone can be presented via writing an e-mail message, over the phone, or through a video conference. It is still possible to express tone while using a form of technology."

Abstract
Good communication is one of the most important features of a successful company. This paper shows that, as discussed in ?Communicating is Not Optional? by Angela Sinickas, President of Sinickas Communications, Inc., communication can mean the difference between profit and loss, between good management/employee relations and bad, and between a business having a positive or a negative public image.
From the Paper
"Angela Sinickas makes reference to a situation in which Blue Cross of California promoted a new program of guaranteed coverage. All the newspapers carried the story, and customer service workers at Blue Cross were deluged with calls about the new policy. Unfortunately, management forgot to inform customer service of the changes. As a result, Blue Cross?s image was seriously damaged. This communications debacle affected only one company, in one state. But, imagine if this had been an international blunder."

This is position of personal strength, and personal vulnerability all at the same time. The assertive person makes those around him or her uncomfortable if their peers are not as personally secure. The assertive person can enter into disagreements without taking the conflict personally, and thus be in a place to move the conflict forward to resolution. The assertive person truly can express themselves, because under their own expression is the desire and ability to accept others expressions, recognize the differences, and pursue peace and positive communication. The truly assertive person will quickly be a leader, and a valuable asset to his or her company, and career."
