Abstract
This paper relates that the importance of communicating the Gospel in missionary work cannot be overstated. The paper also points out that, without an effective way of communicating the Gospel, the targeted audience will never be converted. The paper then discusses the ways in which the Gospel can be communicated and the importance of selecting a method that suits the community that the missionary is in. The paper further describes the ways that media selection play a key role in the presentation of the Gospel and discusses the impact that globalization has had on missionary work.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Philosophy of Communication
Initial Considerations
Message Contextualization
Method Determination
Media Selection
Measurement Implementation
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
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."

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
This paper discusses Reaganomics and how it has affected the United States. It compares different economic statistics before, during, and after Reagan's years in office and analyzes them. It talks about the Cold War and argues that the way Reagan handled it was the best and only way to topple the Evil Empire. It also discusses his character and how he is completely different from the way that the popular media portrayed him and continues to portray him.
From the Paper
"On numerous occasions, critics have undermined Reagan and his ability to accomplish all that he did. Two examples of these critics undermining Reagan?s intelligence and success as a president came from two of his serious biographers ? Lou Cannon, a journalist who covered Reagan both as a governor and as President, and Edmund Morris ? did not identify a credible key to his success, relying in slightly different ways on the conventional explanation that his success was related to his background as an actor. The title of Cannon?s book, President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime, was obviously chosen to emphasize the link between Reagan?s presidency and his past career."

Abstract
This paper discusses the cycle of continuing silence about issues related to women's sexuality. The paper explains that the silence can affect the health of women in situations where speaking up could prevent the contraction of a disease. The paper examines the role played by the media and society in general concerning the perception of women's sexuality. The paper makes mention of the views of the church and religion on this topic.
From the Paper
"From the first signs of gender, the conditioning begins from the ones we love most. From the cradle, girls wear pink, boys blue and both are taught what is and how to play her and his role. Family is defined according to each individual's unique situation. Beginning in this context, a person's sexual identity has either the opportunity to begin its creation and discovery healthfully, or at high risk of developing problems. Generally, a time comes for the talk about "the birds and the bees". Usually most young people await this important discussion with the utmost dread and trepidation. Too often this fear is due to the shame and embarrassment that can monopolize the conversation. "

From the Paper
"The contemporary period is one in which diseases once thought conquered in this country are making strong reappearances, and during which both new diseases and diseases not previously common in this country are becoming significant concerns of health care professionals (Bechtel, Shepherd, & Rogers, 1995, p. 15). The identification and successful treatment of the individuals afflicted by these diseases are important to both the afflicted persons, whose health is directly at risk, and to the broader society, whose health is indirectly at risk.
This research examines appropriate nursing responses to the problems ..."

Men and Women as Communicators, 2002.
A review of the book "You Just Don't Understand" by Deborah Tannen, on communication.
1,478 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes Deborah Tannen's theory that men and women communicate differently based on the different ways men and women perceive things, from her book "You Just Don't Understand". For men, communication is a way of maintaining status, developing a hierarchy and giving orders. In contrast, women communicate for interpersonal connections, to achieve a sense of community and to maintain equal status. This paper evaluates the possibility that such a complex subject like communication can be separated into two distinct categories so easily and whether this approach shows a stereotype that can be applied to all people.
From the Paper
"There may be an overall trend towards women preferring to communicate for a certain reason, but this does not mean that every woman is the same. Accepting this view and believing that men and women can be understood so easily is a major error in judgment. It is also worth noting that in most communications it is not one person communicating with the other gender as a whole. It is one person communicating with one individual. For this communication to be most effective, the people need to make an effort to understand the perspective of each other. Attaching generalized meanings to the communication does not help with this. Another area overlooked is other characteristics that impact on a person?s perspective."

Abstract
The writer examines in personal details her views and opinions on gender and communication. The writer explores family relationships as well as the marked differences in intimate communications between friends and family members and the ins and outs of communicating via the internet. The writer of this paper finds that in researching this particular topic, nearly all gender communications bibliographic information was found to be issue specific, resulting in the writer using her own personal experiences as a main source of reference.
Topics covered in this paper include:
Introduction and Thesis
Communications Within the Family Background and Family Structure
Areas of Communications Between Genders
The Mechanics of Intimate Gender Communications
Intimate Communications and Friendship
The Internet Trap
Conclusions on Intimate Communication
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Another area where both genders get into difficulties on the Internet using the World Wide Web are in the "romance or love or lifestyles" sections of many of the major search engines. Here they can categorize themselves as to whatever it is they are looking for and through instant messaging, e-mail or chat-rooms can actually converse with a party on the other end ostensibly searching for the same as you. Be very wary of what information one gives if the urge is overwhelming to use this form of communication for intimacy.
There have been rapes; murders, serial killings and stalking of every manner one can imagine connected with these areas."

Society and the Media, 2002.

Abstract
Many theorists claim that the media acts as a tremendous stereotyping machine, perpetuating stereotypes and simplifying portrayals, while not being an accurate reflection of society. Others argue that the media has the potential to cure social fragmentation, encourage cross cultural understanding and an understanding of diversity. This paper argues that both these claims of correct. It shows that on the one hand, the media does create meaning by communicating certain views with this shaping social meaning. In this way, it is stereotyping and does not represent real society. On the other hand the media has the potential to do more than this. The author of the paper is of the opinion that one way this potential is being realized is with the rise of the Internet as a communication method. The Internet medium takes out the control issues associated with typical media and the qualities that the Internet medium brings to communication shows how the potential might be realized. To consider these ideas further, the paper describes how the media creates meaning and what this means for society. It then discusses how the Internet medium changes the media, showing how this contributes to promoting diversity and cultural understanding.
From the Paper
"Another aspect worth noting is that the media also interprets events in television news. Just as the print journalist records their interpretation of what is newsworthy, the television news does the same thing. The one difference is that the television version does this in a far more succinct manner. In print journalism, the journalist decides how to report the story but still provides enough information that an individual could often look at the issue further and come to a new conclusion if they were so inclined. In television news, this range of information is not presented. Instead, the news reader summarizes the story very briefly, while at the same time pictures are shown that add to the meaning. A print story about the problem of obesity as seen in a new study may involve providing various details about the study, what it means, why it was conducted and other information. The television story about the same issue may just have the news reader say something like a new study reports that Americans are getting fatter while showing pictures of overweight people walking down a street. This example does not provide the range of information that allows the individual to assess the information. Instead, they are more likely to be convinced that everyone is getting fatter. It is relevant also that the footage chosen is especially created to enhance the meaning of the story. In this example, the news program is going to purposely choose footage that shows a significant number of overweight people. This footage is not a representation of the real nature of society, instead it is a bias towards creating a certain meaning."

The New Convergence Media, 2002.
This paper discusses the implications of the merger of the internet with traditional forms of media.

Abstract
This paper explains that television, radio, print media and internet services will no longer be separate media but will be combined into one. The author points out that in the traditional media, information can generally not be communicated without it being verified; whereas, this does not apply to the internet. The paper relates that the crucial difference between internet media and more traditional media is that the user is in control; therefore, because of issues of free speech, regulation is more difficult.
From the Paper
"Digital television is another of the major expected technologies of the future. It is important to realize that digital television is not just a new way of sending programs to a general audience, it changes the whole nature of television. Unlike current technology, digital television makes possible an infinite number of channels. Some argue that this will open up television as a medium, allowing more smaller broadcasters to provide content and thus, give people more options in what they view. This seems like one possibility. However, studies on the media industry have suggested that this outcome is not likely. In "Broadcasting, Society and Policy in the Multimedia Age" Graham and Davies argue that digital technology is more likely to create monopolies than to remove them. In making this argument Graham and Davies emphasize that the television industry is not based primarily on providing a public service but on making money. Digital television is likely to increase competition, with this only meaning that the strongest competitors will survive and the weakest will fail."

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of the application domains that are typically associated with the small, communicating computer systems class, and how this operating system design has been impacted by the requirements of these application domains. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion. Includes annotated bibliography.
Introduction
Particular Requirements of this Application Domain
How These Requirements Impact the OS Designs for the Small, Communicating Computer Systems Class
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Computers continue to get smaller and the evolution of processing speeds is following Moore's Law. It is reasonable to assume that at some point in the foreseeable future, the desktop computer may simply become a thing of the past. Increasingly, mobile communications devices are being used to develop informal "networks" of friends, co-workers and family members. As a result, the use of small, communicating computer systems, mostly in wireless configurations, is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to older (i.e., a few years) computer systems that do not provide the same level of flexibility and functionality for a company's growing information technology needs today. Identifying current and future trends in this environment, then, assumes a new level of importance for companies seeking to maximize their return on their scarce IT resources, as well as for consumers who are seeking to identify the most appropriate wireless tool for their needs today."

The Sociology of Sport: The Ideals of Sports as a Reflection of Society, 2002.
A paper which looks at what sports represents and what it communicates to society.
2,917 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 0 sources, APA, $ 86.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Sports has become a central part of society, introduced to children at a young age and often continuing to be part of a person?s life throughout their lifetime. Sports impacts on people in a number of ways. The paper shows that in childhood, the focus of sports is often on participating, working with other people and aspiring to be the best one can be. Successful sports people also become heroes for children, something that continues into adulthood. The paper shows that as individuals grow older their focus may change from playing sports to watching sports. At the same time, sports people continue to be respected and viewed as heroes, the fact that successful sports people get paid millions in sponsorship money is evidence that they must have a major impact on consumers. Overall, this paper looks at what sports represents and the values it communicates to people.
From the Paper
"Sport is also closely related to a person?s life in society in a general way. In sport, people compete against each other to win. In a person?s working life the same thing occurs. A person works against others in the workplace to earn individual rewards and promotions. A person also works as part of the company team, to grow the company. The same occurs in schools where students works in competition with each other to receive awards. Students then work to get into college, with the best students winning the college place. This illustrates one of the main aspects central to sports, the competition factor inherent to sport. This also shows how this competition factor inherent in sports is also one inherent in life. This is another major reason why sport reflects society."
