Abstract
The paper shows that when we think about communication, we think about the spoken word and that our thoughts are always about the words people use and their fluency of speech. Yet, at the same time, we are also taking in information from nonlinguistic sources. The author notes that people's mannerisms, clothing, and appearance are also important, as well as their tone of voice. Researches have estimated that, in face-to-face communication, as much as 90 percent of the social meaning may be carried in the nonverbal message and that facial appearance and response may contribute more to our meaning of their message than all their words. The paper explores the importance of both types of communication and how they are put across.
From the Paper
"As popularly used, language refers to a system of words. This development is not surprising, since words distinguish human communication from that of lower animals. Words, as symbols, usually convey information in a quite deliberate, no instinctive way. For this reason, language is sometimes treated as a set of verbal symbols."

Abstract
Public media provides a channel for people to communicate among each other. This communication takes on various forms. Advertising is one area where meaning is intentionally created. Newspapers and magazines report both news and opinions. Even music is a means of communicating to a mass audience. All of these forms of communication create meaning and one of the underlying factors present in all is gender. Each of these forms of media create certain ideas about masculinity and femininity. Some authors argue that the end result of this is that men become objectified as masculine and women become objectified as feminine. The emphasis is often especially on the dehumanization and stereotyping of women via their physical body and class status. For example, women are seen as objects of desire, valued for their attractiveness but with little else to offer, while men are seen as superior to women. The paper discusses three authors whos consider these meanings and how they are created - Susan Faludi, Joan Morgan, and Jean Kilbourne. Each of these authors look at how gender is created in a certain form of media and each suggest that the media creates an exaggerated and misconfigured view of the role of gender. The paper shows, however, that what these authors fail to recognize is that the media as a whole is communicating a range of ideas on gender roles and that those ideas generated have their basis in society itself. The paper argues that these authors seem to generalize themselves, suggesting that the media is responsible for exaggerated roles of gender. In contrast, by taking a closer look, this paper illustrates that the media only represents the general views of people and that the media does not really offer only one view of gender.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
1. Media as Communication
2. Argument that Media Creates Ideas on Gender
3. Focus on Gender Ideas about Women
4. Introduce Three Authors with Ideas on Gender Creation in the Media
5. Argument: The Media only Represents the General Views of People and the Media does not really offer only one View of Gender
From the Paper
"Each of these articles expresses the view that the media creates a certain image of women. In each case, it is also expressed that this is an exaggerated view of women. Kilbourne offers advertisements where the sexuality of women is taken to an extreme, such as by including bondage and violent images in addition to sexual ones. Morgan describes hip-hop music where the lyrics represent an exaggerated view of women. Faludi shows how a group of boys with behavior that can be described as extreme in the way they view women, came to represent the general view of the young male's view of women. In each case, the views expressed are exaggerated claims. For example, the young boys in Faludi's articles do not likely represent the views of the average young male. However, their coverage in the media may have created the impression that their views are closer to the norm than they really are. In summary, each of the articles are correct in saying that the examples they represent create exaggerated views."

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
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."

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."

Abstract
This paper examines how interpersonal communication refers to the ability to relate to people by using verbal and nonverbal communication and how it can occur in both a one-on-one and a group setting.
It looks at how good communicators must be able to handle different people in different situations and make people feel at ease. It analyzes how communication involves verbal and nonverbal signals that exchange information-bearing messages between a source and a destination and addresses the effects of verbal communication, including words, speech and language and nonverbal communication, including mannerisms, facial expressions and eye contact.
From the Paper
"Nonverbal communication has a major effect on many other aspects of life, including cognitive learning and interpersonal relationships. For example, a teacher?s nonverbal communication skills can influence a student?s ability to learn and quality of the curriculum. Research reveals that teachers who display good nonverbal skills have higher levels of cognitive learning (McCroskey, 1996, p. 209). Their students perceive their classes as more interesting and fun. According to research, the nonverbal behaviors that have the greatest effect on students are tone of voice, eye contact, and friendly gestures (McCroskey, 1996, p. 210). Smiling, eye contact, and vocal variety gave students a more positive image of the teacher, and the teaching materials (p. 213)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how we are constantly communicating and how silence and other methods of non-verbal communication are no more random than words. It analyzes how these are systematic expressions of meaning, which are often quite unconsciously used, in interpersonal contacts and how relationships in business and in social situations can be made and broken simply by the non verbals. It illustrates through a literaure review and various diagrams, how the effective reading of body language can do much to avoid or defuse conflict situation and provides strategies which can assist in resolving these conflicts.
From the Paper
"Good communication requires that the communicators spend special or quality time together. Quality time involves that there is no time crunch and there is no crush of a crowd around you. In quality time we can search for just the right words that express what we are thinking and feeling. (Powell: 1987, 344). It follows also that in such ideal situations the non-verbal aspects of the communication will also be positive. A common attitude about silence or the absence of verbalised communication is that communication can be turned on and off, when we talk and when we do not. The reality is that we are constantly communicating, silence and other methods of non-verbal communication are no more random than words. These are systematic expressions of meaning, which are often quite unconsciously used, in interpersonal contacts (Myers: 1985, 217). Relationships in business and in social situations can be made and broken simply by the non verbals."

Abstract
This paper explains that studying the effects of non-verbal communication in the workplace is more important than ever in today's multicultural world because each ethnic group brings their own culture into the workplace. The paper points out that one of the most common uses of non-verbal communication in the workplace is by supervisors and others with high status, who use non-verbal symbols of their status and authority, either consciously or not, to remind those below them of their high position. The paper relates that, in some workplaces, because non-verbal communication can differ so greatly between cultures, management has introduced cultural sensitivity training.
From the Paper
"Latinos are one of the fastest growing cultural groups in American workplaces today. Therefore, it is of particular importance for both Anglos and Latinos to each understand the others' nonverbal communication styles. Latinos have several nonverbal communication devises particular to their culture that Anglos do not use. For example, Latinos have a much smaller realm of what is considered personal space. In Anglo cultures, this personal space is between eighteen and thirty inches, while in Latino cultures it is between eight and eighteen inches. This sharp difference in acceptable personal space can cause huge discomfort and misunderstanding for both parties if it is not understood and acknowledged on both sides."

"Verbal abuse in a relationship can be insidious. It is something that leaves no external marks but can be extremely damaging. The victim of verbal abuse within a relations can become isolated and depressed which makes it even more difficult to recognize that they are being abused and to get out of the situation. It can become a cycle that last for years and provides a negative example for the children of the union to emulate. Verbal abuse does not get the publicity that physical abuse gets, but it can have the same devastating affects."

Abstract
This paper discusses how schizophrenia involves a portion of neuro psychologically normal or almost-normal patients whose verbal abilities may be more than competent, sometimes surpassing the abilities of unimpaired persons. It attempts to encourage strong awareness of schizophrenia's still debated characteristics as a disorder of some unitary features but more variation. It looks at how studies of the brain activity of schizophrenic patients have shown that schizophrenics who do have frontal activity when performing verbal fluency tasks with a shortage of activity in the left hemisphere. are still able to engage in high verbal activity.

Concluding Discussion
From the Paper
"For a century, schizophrenia has been categorized as a mental illness distinct from the mood disorders or other conditions. (See Kraepilin:1896;1919) Lee & Park defined schizophrenia as "a complex brain disorder characterized by clinical heterogeneity and deficits of cognitive functions such as distractibility, perseveration, and inability to inhibit irrelevant information or responses." (2005:599) Patients are popularly associated with hallucinations, delusions, disorganized language and bizarre behavior, frequent memory and cognitive deficits and impaired daily functioning, as can contrast markedly with what is actually presented by numerous schizophrenic patients in care. Matters of cognitive decline have intrigued various researchers approaching a puzzle of why and how impairment commences, newer research claiming that cognitive deficit is not integral to schizophrenia in that many patients present normal cognitive ability, IQ and verbal acuity, or only slight impairment.

Non-Verbal Communication, 2002.
A review of three different articles on the topic of non-verbal communication.

Abstract
This paper introduces and analyzes three journal articles on non-verbal communication. The first article is "Methods and Techniques: A Method for Teaching about Verbal and Nonverbal Communication" by Mark Costanzo which discusses teaching non-verbal communication by using the Interpersonal Perception Task (IPT). The second article is "The Effect of Smiling and of Head Tilting on Person Perception" by Emma Otta et al, which profiles a study on head tilting and smiling and the effect it has on the perception of the person. The third article is "The Nature of Rapport and its Nonverbal Correlates" by Linda Tickle-Degnen and Robert Rosenthal which discusses rapport as another important form of nonverbal communication and how rapport changes as a relationship matures.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, the researchers discovered that head posture had a "weaker" effect on the viewer than smiling did. What this shows is how powerful nonverbal communication can be, even when first meeting a person. How we perceive their movements and facial expressions can give us clues to how they are feeling, and how we might interact with them. These clues include how happy the person is, how reliable they are, how sympathetic they are, and how optimistic they are. All these qualities were perceived simply from a photograph, not from a physical meeting with the person. The study concluded that smiling is an extremely important form of nonverbal communication, and it is used universally as a recognizable and pleasing form of nonverbal communication."
