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
"Managing a Crisis Using PR" Simulation Summary
Proactive Planning and Feedback
PR Plan Deployment
Crisis Management
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Greenenergy faced crises when equipment, maintained improperly, injured people. The company chose to be forthright and immediately released information to the media and cooperated with investigative authorities (University of Phoenix, 2006). Choosing appropriate message options such as releasing specific information to the media ensures the communication of the desired message and cooperating with investigated authorities earns the organization creditability. Choosing the appropriate communication hierarchy is equally as critical as the form of communication. Greenenergy had a planned approach for immediately communicating with key internal and external publics. The approach allowed for the right information, in the right medium to go to the right people within the right timeframe preventing further duress in the crisis."

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Organizational functions
Societal functions
Conclusion
From the Paper
"On the other hand the functional responsibilities that surround societal PR have a different trajectory to the more internal responsibilities of the public relations specialist. These social responsibilities involve the public relations officer in interacting between the needs and the goals of the organization and the ethical and social requirements in the community and society in which the organization functions; as well as endeavoring to support and foster the values of that community or society. In the final analysis the public relations officer in any organization has to contend with responsibilities that involve both organizational and social requirements and objectives."

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."

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."

Wal-Mart?s PR Strategies, 2004.
A look at Wal-Mart?s strategies to change public perception.
1,522 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, as a result of various discriminatory actions against workers, and a number of lawsuits as a result of these, the public perception of Wal-Mart has been increasingly unfavorable. In particular, it explores how the company has attempted to overcome resistance through a PR strategy, such as a letter campaign in California, as well as nationwide advertisements. It also discusses how, despite this effort, little has changed in Wal-Mart?s basic system of practices and how, until this occurs, the corporation will not be able to improve its image for the public.
From the Paper
"Exacerbating the problem is the financial status of the corporation. Wal-Mart?s promise of ?Always Low Prices? is being kept by exploiting others; not their own profit, as is claimed. Statistics show that Wal-Mart makes huge profits ? in the rang of $7 billion per year, and its managers are among the richest people in the world. These profits are gained by exploiting workers and their rights. Workers are being treated unfairly in terms of wages and benefits, thus inflating the already huge profits made by the company. Thus obviously the claim of slashing profits rings somewhat untrue (Wal-Mart Watch, 2002-2004)."

Internal PR Action Plan, 2005.
A look at internal organizational communication within Hewlett Packard and Compaq.
1,287 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Effective communication with the internal organizational public at all levels is the key to the success of an organization, especially when change is happening within the organization. Communicating in a timely manner, honestly and openly, with the employees results in an augmentation of confidence and productivity, as well as a reduction of job insecurity and other related fears. Extensive research in this field proves that a sound communication mode, employee contentment, and efficiency are in direct proportion when done correctly by an organization. This paper outlines the communications within Hewlett Packard and Compaq, as well as the impact of these communications. An effective internal public relations action plan is defined as well.
From the Paper
"Many different organizations over the years have realized effective internal communication is the primary reason behind every successful change, "No matter what the change -- merger, restructuring, downsizing, reengineering, the introduction of new technology, or a customer service campaign" (Larkin, 1996, p. 96). For this very reason, organizations today emphasize on the effectiveness and promptness of internal communication. However, the lesson learned came through appalling experiences when in intricate situations, companies as big as Hewlett Packard failed to inform their internal public about changes that employees neither welcome nor are comfortable with. Consequently, extreme resistance is the result, which is felt throughout the entire organization."

Grace is preparing a communication strategy, a plan to execute on this strategy and a method to ascertain this strategy's efficacy.
From the Paper
"W.R. Grace began mining Zonolite in Libby, Montana approximately 70 years ago and has profited handsomely from this naturally occurring ore primarily from its inclusion in attic insulation sold throughout the world for most of the company's history(Staff, Deadly, pars.10-11). The Zonolite insulation material is currently blamed for the deaths of several individuals, targeted for a class action lawsuit and holds considerable risk of ballooning into a major financial exposure to stakeholders, officers and others implicated in these disasters: "She remembers...seeing Zonolite in the attic...Zonolite is made from vermiculite...tainted with asbestos when it was mined in Montana...She is now collecting names for a class action against the federal government"(Welch, pars.4-5).

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."

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. "
