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.

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 ."

This paper examines the art of communicating in the business world.

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."

?Communicating Is Not Optional?, 2004.
Discusses the importance of communication in the business world, as explained by Angela Sinickas in her article, ?Communicating Is Not Optional?.
836 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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."

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 ..."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
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. "

Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator, 2003.
A discussion of the effects and ramifications of Ronald Reagan's eight years as President of the U.S.
3,705 words (approx. 14.8 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 102.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

Nursing Leadership, 2008.
Looks at ways nurses can meet their ethical obligation to be skilled communicators, teachers, motivators and team builders
1,250 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper notes that the ethical obligation and demand for leadership from nurses is the foundation for the public's trust in the medical profession. The paper then emphasizes the importance of understanding what it is a nurse is suppose to do ethically and relates that personal reflection and open communication between nurses and administrators is a proactive way of strengthening and protecting the public's trust in the profession of nursing. The paper concludes that the rigorous schedule of nursing school is a way of weeding out those who do not have the character and stamina to be teachers, motivators and team builders. Nursing is a profession of respect and responsibility--not everyone is cut out to be a nurse.
From the Paper
"There will never be an easy answer, but as a leader in your field you will be expected to always act accordingly. Nurses are looked upon as teacher, motivators and team builders. These responsibilities are a part of the profession. Leadership is a professional expectation. Nurses are encouraged to develop their personalities into a leadership role. We are encouraged to seek out our weaknesses and improve upon them to become effective leaders in our profession."

Communication Interventions for Children with Autism, 2007.
An analysis of possible strategies to improve communication in autistic children with verbal skills.
1,754 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper focuses on children with autism who are verbal communicators, either because they always had verbal skills or because they acquired verbal abilities, as a result of early intervention, even though they were once nonverbal. The paper discusses difficulties that children with autism may encounter with regards to communication and discusses strategies that may assist them in improving their communication skills.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Overview
Findings
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is difficult to detach 'communication' from other deficits for children with autism. As a child grows older, social skills become more important than academic achievement. Not too different from those children without disabilities! And for academic growth alone, communication can tell a teacher that hand flapping represents the desire to provide answers to questions asked of the class. For a child with autism who asks the same question over and over, a potential friend might come to realize that their peer is trying to carry on a conversation in the only manner they know. For that same child, changing communication patterns may allow them to say 'appropriately' so much of what resides inside themselves."

The Importance of Literacy, 2007.
A discussion on the importance of literacy skills, based on the book "Learning to Read and Write" by Frederick Douglass, and the article "The Importance of Literacy and Numeracy Skills" by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
901 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 32.95

Abstract
The paper discusses how, although literacy is not literally a function of slavery as it was when Douglass wrote his narrative, literacy remains a tool of social and political empowerment. The paper explores how individuals with inadequate literacy skills cannot begin to compete in a job market based on information; to run for political office; to read articles or websites. The paper further discusses how literacy bestows on the individual a means of communicating with others, of sharing ideas and debating essential points in the hopes of changing minds and hearts. The paper concludes that, through mastery of the written word, poor and oppressed individuals can challenge the assumptions that guide the dominant culture and create transformation and change just as Douglass did over a century ago.
From the Paper
"Literacy skills are, however, appropriately framed as an economic tool as they are in "The Importance of Literacy and Numeracy Skills." The Australian report represents the mentality of the twenty-first century, when literacy skills allow individuals the opportunity to "compete in the global marketplace (p. 6). Individuals need literacy skills to succeed just as Douglass did, but literacy rates are far higher now than they were in Douglass' age. As a result, citizens of industrialized nations are expected to master reading and writing skills in school."

Discusses three thinking skills and their connection to nursing.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper briefly examines three critical thinking skills--creativity, flexibility and open-mindedness--that are essential to effective nursing. The paper also outlines personal events that required the utilization of these skills and how their application led to professional success. Finally, this paper points out how the author plans to grow and develop these skills via extensive personal learning and reading and by communicating on a regular basis with experienced colleagues.
From the Paper
"Nursing is one of the most demanding of all fields. Among other things, it requires a compassionate and open mind, a dedicated spirit and a strong work ethic; it also requires a great deal of patience. However, this paper will examine three attributes of nursing that are frequently overlooked: creativity, flexibility and open-mindedness. Without question, the utilization of these three critical thinking skills in the workplace will have a positive, long-term influence on a nurse's career and his or her relationship with patients and staff. This paper will emphasize the importance of these skills and provide a plan for continuing to work on their development; this paper will also provide three short examples of the use of these skills in nursing practice and offer further suggestions on how a young nurse can proceed to incorporate these skills into his or her nursing practice."

Abstract
Management practices in theory and behavior for purpose of increasing productivity and enhancing employee morale and commitment. Examines and contrast the value of "soft skills--communicating well, motivating others-- with value of traditional technical skills. Contends that technical skills are not sufficient. Need for interpersonal skills.
From the Paper
"As early as the late 1960s, organizational and management theorists argued convincingly that a body of theory and related practice known under the general rubric of ?organizational behavior? offered managers, their organizations, and workers at all levels and in virtually all fields of endeavor a highly effective, cost-efficient, empowering, and motivating system of ?best practices? that could increase a firm?s productivity while enhancing employee morale and commitment (Hampton, Summer, and Weber, pp. 63 ? 65). The essential principles of the approach include: recognizing the importance of motivation and its effects on workers; understanding organizational culture and the ways in which it permeates the work environment; using two-way communication to inform, motivate, and empower workers; and..."
