Abstract
This paper examines how nonverbal communication differs between the genders. This paper focuses on examining three forms of nonverbal communication, facial expressions, eye gazes, and the ability to "decode" the individual meanings behind these gestures. The paper also looks at how men and women use and interpret these gestures differently. The last part of this paper looks at the reasons behind the gender differences in nonverbal communication, focusing on the different socialization of men and women. In this part, the paper also makes recommendations regarding the implications of these gendered forms of nonverbal communication for daily interactions.
From the Paper
"In their seminal work on facial movements, Paul Ekman and Wallace Friesen argued that there are six basic human emotions -- fear, surprise, anger, disgust, happiness, sadness and surprise. Furthermore, the researchers argued that these emotions are expressed through universal facial gestures, using the same facial-muscle movements. People from different parts of the world use the same facial expressions, regardless of culture. However, later studies found significant differences in the degrees of expressiveness in the faces of male and female subjects."

Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication, 2001.

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."

From the Paper
"The African American male was not expected to achieve in educational areas of management and accounting studies evidenced in the statement related in the work of Dantley and Leonard (2006) who states that a participant related that: "I only indulged myself in my studies to the degree that I was satisfied that I could do math up to multiplication and division of fractions and decimals and it was good enough for me for what was I going to do. I wasn't going to be doing any math. To be a laborer, all it's going to require is to run a piece of machinery." (p. 42) additionally a participant stated: "We don't have no industry out there and the industry that is out there, they're not targeting the Black community and saying, "If you go and get more math, then I can guarantee you this." (p. 45) and finally: "I have hopes. My expectation is that (my son) will graduate from high school. If he doesn't, it's no big deal...My expectation for him is to probably be no worse than I was. Just to pass." (p.46) (Dantley and Leonard, 2006)"

Communicating the Gospel, 2006.

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 ."

Male Teachers and The Effects of Female-Headed Households, 2002.
This paper attempts to answer the question of whether or not male teachers positively affect male students being raised by single mothers and vice versa.

Abstract
Via a literature review, personal interviews and extensive data analysis, this paper examines what effects the increase in female-headed households has on male elementary school teachers, particularly those in the primary grades. The paper additionally examines how male teachers construct their own masculinities on a daily basis, how they perceive their dramatic under-representation in the occupation and what meanings this arrangement has for them. Finally, it describes their feelings and ideas about the issue of increasing the number of males in elementary teaching, and whether or not they feel it is unfair for single mothers to place too much ?role model? responsibility on their shoulders.
From the Paper
\"Some students go through their first six years of school without ever encountering a male teacher (Cohen, 1990). Because of the small number of male teachers, it is thought that schools do not offer boys enough models of male behavior. Today many boys, especially the sons of single mothers, lack such models in their lives, which has caused many single mothers raising boys to purposefully seek out elementary schools where their children can find male teachers, so that they will have at least one male role model in their lives. However the question remains as to whether or not male teachers are critical to a fatherless child?s emotional and academic development.\"

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
The following brief review examines Deborah Tannen's article on "How Male and Female Students Use Language Differently" and asserts that the style of classroom communication supports how males learn rather then how females learn. This review argues that Tannen's argument itself is biased towards wanting to show an unfair situation for females.
From the Paper
"Tannen makes some excellent points in this article. Considering the current focus on equal opportunity, the point that one situation for everyone is not necessarily the best way is an important one.
Tannen effectively describes some of the ways that males and females are different, showing how the classroom is tailored to the needs of males. In this description, though, there appears to be a bias. For example, debate and participation are only two aspects of the classroom. Other aspects include written tests, reading assignments and presentations to class. These aspects that may be more suitable to female learning are not discussed."

Outline:
Introduction
Metrosexual
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This new market has prompted fashion chains to launching men only ranges in order to cater to their needs. It has also prompted men's magazines to devote more space to male fashion so that they can get more ad revenue. The market for male fashion, skin care and vanity has matured to include men of all sexualities and is a far cry from the state it was in twenty years ago when it was only thought of catering to the gay market. The ultimate metrosexual icon is David Beckham who is solely responsible for changing male behavior. Experts believe that Beckham has broken the boundaries of the masculine code and has experimented with clothes which men would not dare wear. He has posed for a number of gay magazines wearing sarongs and nail polish. It is not a big deal for him to be admired by both men and women. "

Abstract
This is an in-depth research paper on the cause and possible cures for the pressing problem of high dropout rates in secondary educational institutions for African-American males. The paper points out that the problem is not only one of economic disruption, but one of human misery as well. In order to help further the reader's understanding of the effect of secondary education on the dropout rate of African-American males, the paper begins with a look at the history of educational equality and then goes on to look at the effect that the high dropout rate of African- American males has on society in general. The paper also explores the reasons that these young men drop out and possible measures that can be taken to help prevent them from dropping out. Hypotheses regarding what can be done to increase graduation rates among African-American males are presented and conclusions are drawn regarding these hypotheses, based on the literature reviewed.

From the Paper
"It is impossible to ignore the high dropout rates for African-American males. Whether it is an effect of other societal shortcomings or a cause of some is also at issue; probably, it is both a cause and a result. The phenomenon appears to be allied with vestigial racial attitudes that 140 years without slavery and forty years of increasingly far-reaching equality legislation has been able to do little to ameliorate. Much work has been done regarding the specific causes of the problem; as yet, relatively little work has been done in testing the efficacy of various potential prevention tactics. However, new approaches making educational institutions the lead actor in a raft of 'holistic' interventions may be the prime area for future concentration of both study and effort by educational institutions."

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
The writer focuses this research on the fact that adult males between the ages of 18-35 in inner city areas of the United States appear to be at a greater risk for heart disease than their male counterparts in other areas of the country such as those living in areas bordering the cities such as suburban areas and rural communities. This paper investigates the multiple factors that influence the heart health and well-being of adult males aged 18-35 in low-income inner-city areas of the United States. This article further researches and explores stated health statistics and influencing social factors. Finally, the writer makes recommendations as to the alleviation of the heart disease in adult males aged 18-35.
From the Paper
"Heart disease is stated to have caused 3.4% of death in males ages 15-19, 3.6% in males ages 20-24; 7.9% in males ages 25-34; 15.2% in males ages 35-44. 3.2 male adults ages 15.24 per 100,000 population die each year from heart disease as compared to 2.1 percent for females. 9.6 percent of male adults ages 25-34 per 100,000 population die each year from heart disease as compared to 5.2% of females. Risk factors in heart disease are stated to include: age, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, family history of early heart disease, diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, apple-shaped body, high blood homocysteine, atherosclerosis. The estimated age-adjusted prevalence of angina in women age 20 and older were 3.5 percent for non-Hispanic white women, 4.7 percent for non-Hispanic black women and 2.2 percent for Mexican-American women. Rates for men in these three groups were 4.5, 3.1 and 2.4 percent, respectively. Among American adults age 20 and older, the estimated age-adjusted prevalence of coronary heart disease for non-Hispanic whites is 8.9 percent for men and 5.4 percent for women; for non-Hispanic blacks, 7.4 percent for men and 7.5 percent for women; and for Mexican-Americans, 5.6 percent for men and 4.3 percent for women."

Non-Verbal Communication, 2002.
A variety of strategies to help resolve conflict situations using non-verbal communication.

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."

The Romantic Male, 2007.
An analysis of the concept of the romantic male as portrayed in the media.
751 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of the romantic male from various perspectives. It presents different definitions and descriptions of male personality and behavior, in terms of their masculinity and romanticism. However, more than just looking into romanticism and masculinity as concepts relevant to the concept of the romantic male, this paper also assesses romantic males as portrayed and interpreted in films.
From the Paper
"The second typology is the "hero" or "warrior" male, most popularly depicted in films and literary texts. The warrior/hero is the male individual who is "physically and socially competent." The warrior/hero is physically tall, muscular, handsome, strong, large, tanned, masculine, and energetic, while socially, he is "sexually bold, calm, confident, and intelligent...no hero was described as being a gentle, sensitive fellow (except with respect to his feelings for and actions toward the heroine)" (Salmon and Symons, 2004). The warrior/hero is considered the romantic male because he is able to "transform" or shift his characteristics in accordance to the person he relates to: he becomes strong and brave when antagonism or conflict is present, and becomes sensitive and gentle when faced with a female individual (Jones, 2006). This character shift makes the female feel special, thus connoting the male's intention to ensure relational longevity between him and the female."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the correlation between affective disorders, substance abuse and involvement in the criminal justice system among African-American males. The paper discusses the incidence of incarceration, substance abuse and affective disorders individually and then it discusses patterns between the three issues.
Table of Contents:
High Incarceration Rates Among African Males
High Incidence Untreated Affective Disorders Depression/Anxiety
Mandated Sentences Equal Tougher Sentences on AM Males
Perception of Traumatic Events in Urban African Males
Part II - Drug Abuse and Crime Activity
From the Paper
"Most of these studies suggest that left untreated, affective disorders including those among African Americans worsen with time, and that higher rates of recidivism often result particularly when offenders are released and still must face various psychological stressors and disorders including depression or anxiety (Spencer, 1999). Given this information it seems logical that rehabilitation measures be adopted that help address psychological instability among prison populations. As yet however, there are no uniform regulations or laws that dictate or mandate rehabilitation for African Americans or other populations at risk for higher rates of affective disorders in prison. This suggests that these disorders will likely continue in the future."
