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 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 ."

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

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

»
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."

Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator, 2003.

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."

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
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. "

"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.

Abstract
This paper examines the history of rhetoric and it's significance in early Greek and Roman civilizations that coincided with creation of democracy and the importance of public speech. It then shows Kenneth Burke's contribution to the new rhetoric as an argumentative weapon and his influence on the post-modern deconstructionism.
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
2. Section One: The Preceding Conversation
3. Section Two: Contribution to the Conversation
4. Section Three: Effect on the Conversation
5. Conclusion
From the paper:
"The word ?rhetoric? has an old fashioned air about it. It calls up images of schoolrooms with children in ruffled collars and Latin grammars and not a laptop in sight for several centuries. But rhetoric is as alive as is language itself, and this paper examines the importance of rhetorical studies in helping each of us to become the best writers and speakers ? the best communicators ? that we can be. A historical study of changes models and standards in rhetoric can also provide us not only with a sense of how linguistic and especially English style has changed over the years as well as illuminating how our conception of language and its structure and function have changed as well. This paper engages in such an examination by focusing on the work of Kenneth Burke. We begin with a brief overview of the life of this man whose rhetorical work we will then examine."

Business Writing Skills.
This paper discusses that effective written communication plays a vital role in every business; however, management often overlooks its importance.
1,325 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 44.95

Abstract
This paper explains that communicating through words can be more concrete than through verbal communications, with less room for error and even less room for mistakes, which presents written communicators with new challenges, including spelling, grammar, the tone of their writing, punctuation, writing style, and even actual wording. The author points out that time is in short supply for most business professionals; therefore, organization is crucial. Outlines are an invaluable aid to writing a lengthy report or memo. This paper stresses that, when writing documents that are of significant length, it is important to use headings, subheadings, and bullets to keep the information organized and allow the reader to follow along. It enables the writer to keep thoughts and important information organized.
From the Paper
"Why put things in writing? One obvious reason is that it is more convenient and less costly than face-to-face communications, particularly where distance is involved. But often there is simply no substitute for written communication-for example, describing a firm's unique product or service to a customer, reporting the results of an organization's study of employee turnover, or announcing an important change in company policy. Written communications provide valuable records for an organization without which it simply could not function."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"How many times did we try to do a certain task or activity without having to communicate our ideas, questions, and needs, to those who might have provided us with help to accomplish our tasks faster and easier? How many times did we succeed when we allow our communication open to others? And how many times did we fail when we close our doors to communication? These are some of the questions that can help us in our goal of exploring the role of communication in design management.
Communication is a very important element of our daily living. Whenever we are, whatever we do, communication always plays an important role. There may be different possible methods of communication nowadays, but there is only one general objective why we communicate - that is, to achieve our goal. Whether we are within our daily or usual activities, or at work, we communicate to be able to meet our needs, such as to know the answers to our questions and to share our ideas. These all end up to our need of meeting our goals. For instance, we communicate our uncertainties at work to meet our goal of providing efficient output or services to our clients. Otherwise, if we do not communicate, chances are we may produce the wrong output or an unsatisfactory work performance."

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.

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."
