"The work of Christiansen, Cochran, and Corkery (2000) entitled: "Dealing with Difficult People: A Training Program" published by the University of Iowa, University Counseling Service states that the program at the University of Iowa is one specifically designed so that the learner will be provided with the opportunity "to learn more effective strategies for relating to angry, emotional, or tearful individuals." This type of program should be completed by the individual "who finds themselves in situations where they have to cope with emotional individuals.""

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.

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
This paper explains that, in Venezuela, there are serious shortcomings in the coverage and ability of the health services, which are made up of the public sector, which bears the greatest responsibility for providing health services; the private sector; and the mixed, or social security, sector. The author points out that the demographic transition in Venezuela, which began with a decline in infant and child mortality, has resulted in the aging of the general population, with associated increases in chronic and degenerative diseases and disabilities. The paper relates that, even while the Venezuelan's social security system is completely destroyed, with a scarcity of drugs and an administrative collapse, there should be an improvement in the preventive policy, especially in the rural areas of the country and in regard to the indigenous people because the future of the epidemiological situation will depend on the country's effort to prevent and control it.

From the Paper
"Venezuela was affected by the economical and social crisis that hit Latin America in the 1980s and continued unto the 1990s. As a result, the population has been affected by growing poverty and violence, while the political system has weekend as well as corruption, which has become more widespread. The country's socio-economic situation has been adversely affected by an inflation rate of around 20 percent (13) resulting in a widening gap between the rich and the poor (up from 7.5% according to the indicators reported by the PAHO by 1995). This difference between the populations, together with a collapsed security system has increases the absolute risk of significant social problems, like accidents and violence. In Venezuela approximately 25 people day died due to common crime, this is more than what was killed in the war with Iraq."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides an analysis of health policies and their effect on healthcare organizations and systems. The researcher hypothesizes that properly written and clearly communicated policies are the foundation for good healthcare and organizational systems that run efficiently and productively. Poor policies on the other hand, generally lead to miscommunication and disturbances within the organization and the organizational culture. A literature review focusing on the purposes and effects of health policies is provided. From the information gathered the researcher concludes that there is ample evidence health care policies effect organizations and systems in different ways, depending on the scope of the policy and the people it addresses.

Evaluation & Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There is still much debate among researchers about the effects of health policy on healthcare organizations and systems. Information provided by the literature review suggests that health policies have many different effects on the organization and the healthcare systems an organization has in place. Some policies are created to be purely humanistic, meaning their goal is to improve the health and wellness of the people directly influenced by the policy. Other policies are more capitalistic in nature, serving the healthcare organization by lowering costs and providing incentives to individuals that are willing to work to help reduce overhead and increase capital for the healthcare organization."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the United States Public Health Service (P.H.S.) has taken the responsibility to find a solution with the growing epidemic of cardiovascular disease in our country. The writer notes that the success of the program depends largely on communicating to the public of the urgent need to prevent heart disease and strokes. It also relies on the nation's public health infrastructure to collaborate in supporting the necessary actions for its goals. The writer points out that prevention is believed to start from disseminating information regarding the consequences of poor diet and lack of exercise, and the truth on cardiovascular disease. The writer concludes that the success of this mission can only be attained if there is complete involvement of all community members, policy makers, and various sectors of our society.
From the Paper
"The CDC seeks to protect the health of the general public by disseminating information and implementing ways to prevent diseases and infection. The NIH is the country's primary agency for biotechnical and medical research. Along with several departments and institutions, the US PHS aims to promote and preserve the general well-being of all Americans.
"The US PHS has taken the responsibility to find a solution with the growing epidemic of cardiovascular disease in our country. In 2003, under the leadership of CDC and NIH, the US PHS launched A Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke, an umbrella program which aims to reduce the incidence of heart disease and stroke among Americans of all ages. The Action Plan based its goals on the objectives of the Healthy People 2010, a program that has been ongoing for 2 decades. It aims to increase the quality and number of years of healthy living individuals, and it further aims to eliminate risk factors for heart diseases."

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.

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 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
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."

"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.
This research examines appropriate nursing responses to the problems ..."

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, AU$ 70.95
»
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."

Communicating about Women's Sexuality, 2005.
An analysis of the lack of communication regarding women's sexuality.

»
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. "

Avian Influenza, 2008.
An overview of the health concerns caused by the spread of avian flu.
2,387 words (approx. 9.5 pages), 9 sources, APA, AU$ 107.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Avian influenza, which is commonly referred to in the media as bird flu, is a strain of the flu virus that is highly infectious and can be fatal. This paper discusses how the spread of avian flu among wild bird populations concerns health care officials due to the high communicability of the disease and its record of moving from domestic livestock to humans. The paper also discusses how, although viral strain H5N1 has thus far not mutated into a form that is directly communicable among humans and can be passed without an avian host as a carrier, the possibility that this mutation could occur suggests to health care officials that H5N1 could potentially become a global pandemic.
From the Paper
"The first documented incidences of H5N1 occurred in 1997 in Asia. The disease was recognized as able to cross the species barrier when handlers of poultry manifested symptoms similar to those in their livestock, which included damage to internal organs and aggressive vomiting, coughing, and physical weakness. Typically, once passed from a bird to a human, H5N1 is extinguished when the afflicted person recovers or succumbs to the disease. Yet there have been cases in which H5N1 has been transmitted from a human to another human, suggesting that the H5N1 virus has the potential to move within humans as well as birds. "

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of the application domains that are typically associated with the small, communicating computer systems class, and how this operating system design has been impacted by the requirements of these application domains. 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."
