Abstract
This paper relates that the importance of communicating the Gospel in missionary work cannot be overstated.

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.

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 ."

The Bureau-Shaping Model, 2007.
An analysis of the extent the bureau-shaping model explains the power held by senior civil servants.
2,107 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 9 sources, APA, $ 66.95

Abstract
This paper assesses the bureau-shaping model in terms of how it justifies the power held by senior officials. It is divided into two parts and looks at the position of senior civil servants in some west European countries, especially with regard to the power they wield over their department and minister or equivalent. The paper also explores the failings of the bureau-shaping model in explaining the power of senior civil servants, and tries to find alternative sources which may help us in this regard.
From the Paper
"In order to assess the extent of the power held by senior civil servants we need, firstly, to consider their background, i.e. from what sort of pool are these bureaucrats picked? This is dependent upon the type of civil service in question. For example, the UK civil service is not a technocratic one, and ever since the reforms made in the early twentieth century following the Northcote-Trevelyan report, there has been huge emphasis placed on examinations, especially for the upper echelons of the service (Kingdom, 1990: 14). As a result, many of those at senior level are products of an Oxbridge education. This elitist system has undergone much criticism, but its apologists maintain that "the pluralist nature of the British political system" compensates for any of its defects. "

Abstract
In this paper, the writer looks at how gender shapes the way in which we see the world, affecting our decisions and choices. The writer maintains that work, education, sexuality, war, health and popular culture are all, in some measure, influenced by our views of what it means to be either a man, or woman, or by the absence of any clear notion of those roles. The writer notes that the idea of a division accorded to gender is common to people at all different levels of technological development and social organization. The writer concludes that though much has changed, popular culture, together with almost every other aspect of society, keeps many stereotypes and pre-conceptions alive and well.
From the Paper
"A frequently-quoted statistic states that women are grossly underrepresented in managerial positions even in large, and supposedly progressive, corporations. These careers do not involve much physical labor, but they do involve a considerable amount of logical thought and decision-making. As well, many of them require advanced degrees or other forms of educational certification. In the minds of many, these sorts of activities are still best performed by men. Women are also often paid less than men though they perform identical work. As a result of these attitudes, women must work harder in order to prove themselves. They must be over-diligent and over-devoted to their careers. Such tactics lay them open to charges that they are self-centerdly cold and unfeeling in the pursuit of their aims, willing to climb over others, and take advantage of those beneath them. The business world can still be a man's 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."

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."

Forces that Shape the Human Genome, 2001.
The paper examines the forces that shape the human genome from an evolutionary perspective.

Abstract
The paper looks at what forces play a role in human evolution. It examines, for example, migration, parasites, recombination and relates it to relevant examples, including the spread of an epidemic.
From the Paper
"The human genome has been shaped by a number of evolutionary processes whose heterogeneity and interactions also account for the genetic diversity within the human population. Throughout the evolutionary history of our species, one of the most important determinants of genetic diversity has been the force of natural selection. Natural selection tends to eliminate phenotypic traits that decrease fitness (reproductive success). Since a phenotype is largely a reflection of a genotype and reproduction serves as the only means of transmission of genes, natural selection helps to shape evolution by decreasing the frequency of detrimental alleles (versions) of genes in population over time. Some genes, however, seem to be under little or no selection pressure and hence can have multiple alleles without a negative impact upon survival and reproduction. Different alleles, moreover, confer differential fitness depending on environmental factors. Thus, the presence of the sickle cell allele of the hemoglobin gene in a population is disadvantageous in the US, but confers a reproductive advantage to heterozygous individuals who reside in an area that has a high prevalency of malaria."

Abstract
This paper explains the persecution of the Christian minority before Constantine, and how he led them to become the Emporer's favored people and a recognized religion that no longer needed to practice in fear. The paper focusses on the growth of Catholicism and Constantine's crucial role.
From the Paper
"The first recorded persecution of the Christian people perpetrated by the Roman Government was in the year 64 AD. Nero was Emperor and he saw the Christians as both threatening and blasphemous to the Roman Empire. At that time, the Christians were seen as threatening by the other Romans because they would not partake in pagan rituals. Because the Christian Gospels opposed idolatry, and their First Commandment clearly ordered their followers to accept no others gods, it basically insisted that the Roman gods be rejected. Beginning in the third century, Edicts were composed by the Emperor and entailed persecution of the Christians. The Christians that would not pay public homage to the Roman gods were subject to torture and death at the hands of the rulers. In the early fourth-century, Diocletian was the main threat to the Christians; he ordered all of their books and places of worship to be burned. In addition, Christians were not allowed to congregate and were omitted from the protection of laws. However, all of this would end in 311 when Galerius issued a decree that allowed Christians to continue with their religious practices. These liberties were temporarily halted when Galerius died and Maximinus Daia once again ordered for the persecution of the Christians. Soon after though, Constantine was named Emperor after his father's demise. With Constantine's ascent to Emperor, the Christian people breathed a sigh of relieve; they knew that they would no longer be a minority people and fear persecution."

" The Frontier in American History
American history involves a mixture of histories, cultures, and national backgrounds brought together in what was truly the New World when it was discovered by European settlers. At the time, there were several Indian tribes in North America and the larger civilization of the Aztecs in South America. The settlers from Europe brought their culture with them, and they only broke away from that culture slowly over a period of time as they created something new. With the advent of slavery in the plantation economy of the South, blacks from Africa were brought to the Americas and introduced elements of their culture. These different forces mixed and interacted over time to become the underpinnings of American history and what would become a distinctive American culture. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the various ways that information is gathered by modern forms of communication. The writer claims that that the television and the Internet are used today to sell products and to watch or control people's actions. The writer notes that each time one clicks the mouse, information is being taken. The writer further maintains that at the same time, the way that we are informed is controlled. The writer concludes that the computer and the Internet are supposed to be about giving people communication and information, but their real purpose is to take information and to control.
From the Paper
"A new relationship has already started between the individual, the society, and the communication universe. People are used to the fact that a TV program is only as long as the commercials. TV is supposed to entertain and offer information. What TV is really all about is selling products. The computer and the Internet are much worse. The Internet is also about marketing or getting products sold. The Internet is all about surveillance or watching. All of the things discussed in this paper are different ways of watching and of taking people's information."
