Therefore, I think this is a ...

Communication refers to sending a message from one party to another through a given medium. It is essential to note that for communication to take place, the party being targeted by the message must actually receive the message. This simple definition highlights three significant components of any communication process. These are; the sender of the message, the medium being used to transfer or transmit the message and the recipient of the message. The role of these three components becomes even more critical during communication in crisis situations. The New Orleans incident can be used illustratively. Emergency teams co-coordinating rescue operations had ...

Four Elements in the Nonprofit

Nonprofits are organizations just like any other, and they require structures and systems so that they can operate smoothly.

As most students learn in American history class, even during middle school, the American government was designed so that each of the three branches would have some control over the other two.

Madison, established the precedent that the courts could review acts of legislation passed by the legislative branch and authorized by the executive branch and, in instances where the courts found those acts to violate the constitution, ...

Last summer I visited South Africa. While there I went on a tour of a township. From this experience I gained an insight into the meaning of poverty, and learned about how people in developing countries live. The trip dramatically altered my attitude towards charity and inspired me to fundraise for international projects.

When our van turned off the normal highway and into the township, everything changed. Within seconds, the prestigious houses and business buildings disappeared and all that I could see was row upon row of shacks. These structures were mostly made of wood and corrugated iron. We drove deeper ...
