Abstract
This paper briefly describes the manner in which a hawk communicates during various stages of its life - during hunting, mating, with its offspring and partner. The general concept of animal communication is also discussed.
From the Paper
"Hawks, often thought of only as fearsome predators, are actually masters of communication. These amazing birds adeptly exercise the six functions of communication: courtship and mating, reproduction, parent-offspring relations, navigation, self-defence, and territoriality. In exhibiting this wide range of the functions of communications, hawks reveal themselves to be complex and interesting animals that are capable of a wide range of complex behaviors."

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 ."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses theoretical perspectives on communicating change, analyzing and incorporating a comprehensive review of the literature on the subject of change in organizations. . The paper also notes that these perspectives on communicating change are explanatory not predictive in nature, although the research does make it simple to predict how individuals in an organization may respond to change if not properly communicated. The paper stresses that change can easily be incorporated into the culture of an organization when communicated to all levels of the organization in a top-down and horizontal manner.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Executive Summary
Literature Review
Discussion and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Wendt & Fairhurst (1994) note often when organizations try to adopt a consultative or visionary approach to communicating, they neglect to concentrate on the details of communication essential to successful integration of change in the organization. These details include communicating change on many levels. Some individuals will embrace change when it is communicated orally alone; others will require written contact, in the form of policies and procedural changes they must sign and acknowledge."

Abstract
This paper discusses Stephen Hawking's book, "A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes." It describes some of the concepts that Hawking discusses in his book, such as his allusions to God and his discussions on the "classical" and the "quantum" theory of gravity. The paper also briefly describes Hawking's physical and personal challenges in life.
From the Paper
"Hawking discusses the "classical" and the "quantum" theory of gravity, in a way that makes sense to the average non-science-focused person. The "classical" theory of gravity (based on "real space-time") offers only two ways the universe can behave, Hawking writes (135): either the universe has been around "for an infinite time," or otherwise it has had "...a beginning at a singularity at some finite time in the past." As to the "quantum" gravity theory there is a third possibility in terms of a definition. That is, space-time could possibly be "finite in extent and yet...have no singularities that formed a boundary or edge." In other words, the surface of the earth is indeed finite, we can walk on it and build on it; but it has no "edge" so if you go sailing off "into the sunset, you don't fall off the edge or run into a singularity," he continues. And he adds some humor to his explanation, as he often does in this book: "I know," he says, adding to the concept of not falling off the edge of the earth, "...Because I have been round the world!""

Howard Hawks, 2002.
A paper which looks at why film director, Howard Hawks, was considered 'film auteur' by the French.
2,094 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 95.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Championed by directors Jean Luc Godard and Franחois Truffaut, the French directors were seeking to justify their own individualism as an answer to the lifting of the quota on American Films after World War II, which led to a flood of big budget Hollywood films into French movie houses. The paper shows that the French directors, unable to compete with the flash and panache of Hollywood, pointed out that individualism made their films stronger. They therefore annointed John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock and Hawks as the patron saints of the auteurs. This paper examines how Hawks' films, use of actors and apolitical emotions made him worthy of the French title.
From the Paper
"Hawks refused to be limited by labels, he refused to succumb to functional fixity. His most serious films have bits of humor and he was not adverse to turning a drama into a comedy or for that matter into a musical. During his career, though he got a "feel-good" award for lifetime achievement, he received few nominations and no Oscars during his career. Yet, he was one of the few directors who, productive and successful before the Second World War, remained commercially and artistically successful after the war. And when it comes to crossing genres his success to date is unparalleled. He was equally at home in comedy, westerns, aviation films and war dramas."

»

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 paper reviews Mark Bowden's book "Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War". The purpose of the paper is to compare the book's events to the 'Principles of War', an Army Field Manual FM-3 Military Operations, which describes nine principles of war and their definitions.
From the Paper
"So where did the mission fall short? One area was the principle of "maneuver," which is supposed to "Place the enemy in a position of disadvantage through the flexible application of combat power" (Editors). Unfortunately, the troops did not place their enemy at a disadvantage. Actually, they were at a disadvantage due to snipers and sharp shooters that they did not anticipate. The guerilla type tactics of the rebel forces took the troops by surprise and effectively pinned them down in different locations, which placed them at the disadvantage in the situation. The situation was complicated by poor communication and direction, which led to a prolonged time before the troops were liberated from the city. Not enough planning and understanding went into the ground portion of the maneuver, and so it ended poorly, and gave the advantage to the Somali rebels. "

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

2,150 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 13 sources, AU$ 116.95
»

Abstract
Historically, the war of 1812 has been attributed to Royal Navy outrages against American commerce and the impressment of sailors on American vessels in the years before 1812. However, a more plausible explanation focuses on the War Hawks and their combined desire to ensure egress for American products, eliminate perceived British support for the western natives and provide an excuse to move against Spain in Florida.

From the Paper
"Somalia ? 1993. Two sides were fighting against each other to gain control of Somalia. One was led by "a member of the Abgal (Hawiye) subclan, and the other by General Mohamed Farad Aidid, a member of the Habr Gidir (Hawiye) subclan" (Lefebvre 49). By November 1991, thousands of Mogadishu residents died when fighting began between the two factions. The capital, Mogadishu, became two separate "cities," separated by a "green line" between the "northern part of the city controlled by Ali Mahdi's forces and the southern half in the hands of Aidid" (Lefebvre 49). Both factions said the food shipments meant for the starving population belonged to them, and as a result, food was not getting to the people. "
