Abstract
Writing skills, although just one of the aspects of communication, are arguably the most important method of getting a message across. In this paper the writer looks at some of the key aspects of communicating effectively through writing. Aspects examined are brainstorming, the message being made, the target audience, formatting, organization and grammar.
From the Paper
"Before starting to write anything, whether it is a business letter, a written report, or an essay, it is always useful to "brainstorm" in order to generate some creative ideas. This would help in overcoming the number one nemesis of all writers-"the writer's block." Brainstorming is most useful when a group of people indulge in a freewheeling discussion of a subject in an informal setting. It can, however, also be done alone by reading what others have written about a subject. The ideas that a brainstorming session generates would form the building blocks of our writing.

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 ."

APPENIDX 1. Employee Survey
From the Paper
"The management structure at XYZ, Inc. consists of six levels of management with varying amounts of responsibility within the company. On average each manager has three to six people reporting into them and has to do performance reviews every six months for each person. In return, each employee would give feedback about their past months' development plan, how well it was managed, as well as their scalar's management style. This two way feed back in the hallmark of success at XYZ, Inc. It institutes the principle of Total Quality Management (TQM). Two way feedback has had the effect of maintaining a high level of Quality and job satisfaction at XZY, Inc. In recent year-and-a half employee feedback has been more negative than in the past with a ratio of 3,2:1. This increased ratio is of great concern to the Personnel Department, which advocates the policy of mutuality in business relationships. "

The Importance of Communicating, 2002.
This paper examines the art of communicating in the business world.
1,005 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

Communicating about Women's Sexuality, 2005.
An analysis of the lack of communication regarding women's sexuality.
1,620 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
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. "

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."

Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator, 2003.

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
The writer of this paper examines the lack of adequate communication in the healthcare industry. The writer contends and explains that a large number of health care professionals are not capable of effectively communicating the inherent risks during medical procedures to either the patient or those closely associated with the patient such as their spouse or family member. This paper explores the issues of teamwork, dialogue and contact which are the crux of risk management while discussing the strategies and methods that need to be implemented in order to effectively improve the communication skills of healthcare workers. This paper details the measures implemented by both the UCLA and New York Presbyterian teaching hospitals which pertain to this specific topic.
From the Paper
"The ability adequately communicate risk levels amongst providers can become difficult. Also, hasty words can create a misperception in the minds of patients, if a doctor speaks too casually. "Science cannot prove a negative, but, where their children are concerned, parents want to be assured that risk is zero," and it is tempting for doctors to ignore communicating data, for fear of communication the issue. Some suggest, regarding all procedures, establishing a comprehensive 'Richter scale' of risks to communicate data to remove the potential for misunderstanding--for example, identifying the riskiest scenarios, and flagging them for hospital staff, or using the 'pain scale' amongst all hospital staff and on paperwork of 1-10 to communicate how much pain a patient is in, on a feeling level, as well as the state of health according to traditional medical data."

"English with an Accent", 2007.
A discussion on the effects of speaking English with an accent.
2,821 words (approx. 11.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 84.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is an extensive review of the ideas put forward in Lippi-Green's book, "English with an Accent". It begins with a short example of the extent of language discrimination. It continues to discuss why a stereotype of people who speak with an accent exists. It also explores the effects that communicating with "improper" English has on society. The paper explains that language is a flexible tool for denoting social status and social allegiances. The author concludes that language discrimination, although subconscious, should be brought to light and dealt with.
From the Paper
" In school clarity of thought is linked to written language, and there is little effort to separate written from spoken. The aim is to make children active members of literacy communities rather than language communities. The silencing of voices considered unworthy or unequal is done by statements (such as, "It is inappropriate for a law student to ask a question in Hawaii'ian Creole English") (Lippi-Green, 1997, p. 107). A child in the classroom may be criticized for using vernacular English instead of Standard. At home the same child may be criticized for using Standard at the dinner table instead of the family's home language. The task for students is to discern when it is appropriate to use one or the other. "
