Abstract
This paper explains that the stunning evolution in the telecommunications field (IT) has created the "age of speed", a time of rapid and efficient movement of information, which resulted a quick paradigm shift in the international community order and in professional career diplomacy. The author points out that the initial reaction of diplomats to IT was skepticism and rejection because they perceived that IT ultimately would make their roles obsolete; rather, although IT made changes on the current diplomatic processes and compelled diplomats to adjust their current activities, these changes were molded according to the needs and essential requirements of the diplomatic process and the diplomats themselves. The paper stresses that the most prominent element of the IT revolution is the internet. Because the basic functions of diplomats worldwide is gathering and dissemination of information.
From the Paper
"Websites specializing in diplomacy vary from one mission to the other due to various reasons. Often there is a difference in taste, for instance, among people in regards to the design of the site, or perhaps there remains an overabundance of designs for diplomatic websites that a mission can choose from. Occasionally the ministry of foreign affairs sets the design and the structure for a mission's website, as is the case with the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the American Department of State Foreign Affairs, and the Diplomatic Service Families Association in Great Britain. Various types of information are usually offered on these sites, such as information on the mission's mother state, its domestic and foreign policy, and its relations with the host country. Some sites, such as the British High Commission office in South Africa, offer current news on business, politics, and general affairs."

Foreign Policy, Media Diplomacy and Propaganda, 2006.
This paper examines the role of media diplomacy, public diplomacy and propaganda in the reporting of the meeting between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel on April 15, 2004.

Abstract
The paper looks at several different reports of this event and analyzes how the use of media and public diplomacy, along with propaganda, shape the way in which news is actually reported. The paper discusses how the United States focused on the commitment to fighting terrorism as its outcome of the meeting, the Middle-East focused on the United States' public support of the continued oppression of the Palestinians while the United Kingdom saw it as another act of arrogance by the Bush administration and used it as an attack on its own Prime Minister. The paper shows how vastly different the reports of one event can be and what one event can mean to so many different people.
From the Paper
"Public and media diplomacy are closely related and often confused with each other. Public diplomacy is defined as a one-sided, usually half truthful communication designed to persuade public opinion where media diplomacy is essentially the same but uses a television medium to get the point across either locally or internationally. Many media and press outlets utilized this particular event to get their one-sided point across to the only audience that mattered, the one that was listening."

Abstract
This thesis examines the impact of telecommunications improvements on the Islamic people. Specifically, the impact of these improvements on Saudi Arabia, an Arab state, and Iran, a Persian state. Although not "anti-technology" or opposed to modernization, the people in Saudi Arabia and Iran are adapting to telecommunications improvements in a method that is in accordance with their core beliefs. The belief in Islam accounts for the "non-Western" model of implementing telecommunications improvements for the citizens of these two countries.
The underpinning of this thesis is that telecommunications improvements will impact the Islamic world no less than any other region of the world experiencing the same improvements. In the case of Saudi Arabia, the CDLR(Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights) is an influential organization using facsimile machines to impact the domestic political environment. Iran, growing as fast in telephone line installations and satellite services as their economic peers, is moving towards privatization in telecommunication systems. Furthermore, Iran is using its capabilities to influence Central Asian neighbors and spread their Shi'i Islam belief.
With the growth and availability of telecommunications services, it is inevitable that current technology will allow unique opportunities to gain and disseminate information. The international community is unlikely to find a viable method to control the proliferation of telecommunications around the globe. Therefore, each society or nation is its own regulator of improving telecommunications systems. Each society, to include the Islamic people, must rely on their culture to determine the degree telecommunications will penetrate the fabric of their society.

From the Paper
"Ranging from the dynamic to the mundane, the improvement of global information systems crosses cultures, languages, and generations. With the information communication sector growing at twice the rate of the rest of the economy, the globalization of information infrastructures has just begun. The global distribution of telephone circuitry, although not as prevalent as television sets, constitutes the largest interconnected global public communications network. Furthermore, the telephone companies, while at the forefront of media providers, are at the leading edge of the digitalization process as a result of experience in providing service and maintenance communication systems to millions of customers."

From the Paper
"Armed with this knowledge, the leadership at CrysTel telecommunications can use this information to develop conflict management methods. Several conflict management methods can be used to enhance performance at CrysTel telecommunications. The idle method for CrysTel telecommunications to use when faced with conflict is to strive for a win-win situation with employees. "Win-win orientation is the belief that the parties will find mutually beneficial solution to their disagreement" (McShane & Von Glinow, 2004, p.394). This method generally causes a boost in employee morale which will in turn enhance performance. Additional methods to manage conflict include negotiation, avoiding, forcing, yielding and compromising (McShane & Von Glinow, 2004, p.396). Negotiation can also be used."

From the Paper
"Three of the most popular phone companies are Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, and their business models are similar. For example, Verizon has built its business on a simple, powerful premise; the more people connected to a network, the more valuable the network is to those who use it (Verizon 2006, at pp.1). T-Mobile has focused on servicing the customer, and ranks higher than the industry average on customer service. All three phone companies offer phones that feature a host of applications that offer simple solutions for organizing hectic work and personal life schedules. The new AT&T is the largest telecommunication company in the United States and one of the largest in the world (AT&T 2006, at pp.1)."

From the Paper
"The loss of the war brought about a popular, and relatively peaceful, revolution in Argentina, which, in turn, gained the adoption of a new constitution, and the election of a new president, Raul Alfonsin, in 1983. The revolution was not just against the outcome of the war. It was also a manifestation of the extreme dissatisfaction of the Argentine public with the terror tactics employed domestically by the military governments, and with the almost complete mismanagement of the country's economy by those governments. Argentina's current constitution is designed to provide stable, elected civilian governments. It is also designed to curb the power of the military, although President Alfonsin had to deal with several attempted rebellions by factions within the country's military establishment. In October 1989, President Menem announced pardons for 39 military officers accused of human rights crimes during the period of military rule, and announced the end of human rights trials for military officers for actions alleged to have occurred during the period of military rule. These moves by President Menem were designed to enhance the country's political stability. The new constitution also provides the government with greater powers to manage the economy than were available under the constitution of 1853, as amended."

Abstract
The paper explores the function of professional associations and shows how they establish a baseline of expectations, training and industry skill-sets upon which companies can rely on to establish the competency levels of their workforce. The paper focuses on the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), a leading professional association in the property and construction industry globally. The paper discusses how the role of RICS and other professional organizations has expanded greatly from their original function as more of a social organization for professionals to a more encompassing function with deeper economic ramifications.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The role of professional associations within the contemporary business environment and global economy has grown over the last several decades. While in the past professional associations have served to augment professional licensing services as well as to provide professional licensing services, they were often marginalized at the periphery of the particular industry with which they were associated. Bennett describes professional associations as, "collective bodies that are intermediary between individual business action and state action...they are one of a number of organizations that may influence the development of individual businesses and the wider competitiveness of a nation"(244). Viewed in this manner, the role of professional organizations is much more expansive than that of merely a supporting role to industry in general or a licensing body that contributes professional competencies to an industry."

Abstract
This paper investigates the federal legislation around telecommunications with focus on the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The author examines the history and formation of the bill, the people behind its enactment and how this law effects telecommunications. A look at laws pertaining to use of the Internet.
From the Paper
"Few pieces of federal legislation enacted during last decade have been as important or as controversial as the Telecommunications Act of 1996, for in addition to bringing federal laws in line with 21st-century telecommunications technology and 21st-century communications habits, the law also sought to set a levy of accountability on the Internet that many people believed was tantamount to a violation of the First Amendment and to censorship ? a charge that the U.S. Supreme Court would later side with when it struck down the ?decency? provisions of the law. This paper explores the legislative history of the bill, the interest groups that were in involved in lobbying on either side and an evaluation of the law. "

Abstract
This paper points out that, with the Enrons, WorldComs, and Qwests of the world so much in the news, the issue of professional ethics has become popular; but, for managers, regulators and scholars, ethics has been an area of intense discussion for a long time. The author uses the example of the Code of Professional Ethics of the Association of the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) to define ethical behavior. The author concludes that ethics never exist in a vacuum, but are a reflection of popular beliefs, opinions, and sensibilities.

"Is there an ethical dilemma in recording employee phone calls? Let us think of various issues associated with this:
1) Are employees informed before hand that their calls will be recorded? Are they sensitized to the reason that this is done? If the answer to both these questions is a ?Yes?, then it seems more acceptable. Nonetheless, let us not look at this case in isolation. What if this gets extended to routinely video taping company activities? Where does one draw the line dividing monitoring and invasion of privacy?
2) How would the end customers (the one at the other end of the phone call) be better served? Is there a perceived increase in the quality of service? If so, the taping might begin to seem more acceptable."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the subject of professional boundaries within counseling. The writer notes that it is critically important that the counselor has the necessary clinical skills in order to assess and develop levels of rapport with the client that are of an adequate nature. The writer points out that the literature relating to the necessity of a balance between rapport and professional boundaries is sadly lacking. The writer concludes that research should be applied in this direction in order that the current knowledge base be refreshed and that any new findings might be added to this research.

From the Paper
"This is the client who has been forced to attend counseling and may prove difficult to work with in the early stages of counseling. This client is skeptical and has not acknowledged any need for change. The counselor must gain the client's respect and upon that basis establish trust with the client. Solution-focused strategies are considered effective and the counselor should outline the counseling process, identify what the counselor's role is, and outline the rights and duties belonging to the client and finally the counselor should state the outcomes expected from counseling therapy."

The Professional Counselor, 2005.
This paper examines the hypothesis that strong motivation is important to the successful function of a professional counselor.
3,980 words (approx. 15.9 pages), 16 sources, APA, $ 108.95

Abstract
This paper explains that some of the problems with motivating the professional counseling are the stress of too many clients, not getting paid enough money, the loss of a great sense of fulfillment and purpose in the interactions with clients and feeling that they are not helping people by making a difference. The author stresses that what motivates professional counselors seems to differ depending on the person and how that professional counselor interprets his or her function. The paper concludes that, as long as they are not terribly restricted in what they do and they can continue to help others that need them, many professional counselors will remain highly motivated for a long period; however, some counselors could lose their motivation if they are having difficulty determining what their function actually is.

From the Paper
"Other individuals seem to need a motivation that is based upon what they learned when they were being taught what they needed for professional counseling. Still others enter into the professional counseling profession because they feel that they want to make a difference and have a strong desire to help other people. Generally, this helping of others is the main function of a professional counselor, but as can be seen, the motivations behind why people do this type of work are many and various, leading to concerns as to whether professional counselors all see their function as being the same or similar, or whether they have very different ideas about what their function actually is."

Niche Diplomacy, 2007.
An overview of the use of niche diplomacy with a focus on its use in Canadian foreign policy.

Abstract
This paper examines how the main focus of niche diplomacy, as its name implies, is that of selecting specific "niches", which a nation's foreign policy will follow. It gives an overview of niche diplomacy; its definition, importance and examples of this diplomacy from history around the world. It uses the Canadian diplomacy as a case study and reviews argumentative essays around this topic, mainly the collection of argumentative essays titled "International Relations In The Post Cold War Era" by Evan H. Potter.
From the Paper
"Smith then points out three limitations of niche diplomacy. These limitations are: Firstly, the vagueness of niche criteria combined with the lack of a clear method of niche inception, as well as there being no clear definition of when a niche ceases to exist; secondly, that there is an elitist element at the hart of niche diplomacy; and thirdly, that the policy of niche diplomacy with its over-focus on economics legitimizes what Smith defines as, "balance sheet diplomacy" (Smith 172). Smith then suggests that these limitations contribute significantly to the widening of the commitment-credibility gap, which niche diplomacy is supposed to narrow."

From the Paper
"In order to understand how Frederick Taylor's theories apply to telecommunications, it is first important to understand the scope of telecommunication installation. Telecommunication itself is simply communication that is achieved through electronic transmission, such as cable, radio, television, telephone, or even the telegraph (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language). Installation in telecommunications can include installation of underground and aerial telephone and other telecommunication lines, and cable television lines and cables. Further, telecommunication installation can include fitting of telephone equipment and hardware, as well as wiring (Human Resources and Skills Development Canada)."

Professional Counseling, 2007.
An overview and analysis of the importance of professional counseling.
1,868 words (approx. 7.5 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how professional counselors play an essential role in helping individuals achieve their full potential. Experts in any one of a number of fields from education to career to personal growth, today's professional counselors provide services that are distinct from those offered by psychologists and social workers. This paper looks at how, by making use of the principals of mental health, psychology, and human development, counselors apply strategies of cognitive, affective, and behavioral strategies that enable their clients to overcome their problems and reach their goals. The paper also contends that professional counselors differ from other mental health professionals in that they work directly with those needing help by giving advice that is narrowly tailored to their specific needs and problems.
From the Paper
"Given the potentially adverse effects of a loss of professional independence, it is imperative that professional counselors begin to advocate for themselves and their profession. Such advocacy helps both their clients and themselves by advancing necessary causes and emphasizing the benefits derived from professional counseling. Nonetheless, advocacy can present problems of its own. Many of these problems are intrinsically problems of perception, as it easy for advocates to appear to be advancing their cause for strictly selfish ends. (Myers, Sweeney & White, 2002) Advocacy can be extremely useful; however, in getting out the message of counseling and helping to further define it as a profession distinct from other mental health disciplines. "
