A positive outcome is the optimization of time and resources spent in learning. The choice of method becomes more complex when adult students are not homogeneous in terms of language fluency, ...

1.According to Banerjee Debanjan, mass communication “refers to the activities of the media as a whole and fails to distinguish among specific media, modes of communication, genres of text or artifact, production or reception situations, or any question of actual communication” (Debanjan, 2010, p. 118). The process of mass communication is closely related to the media contexts.

The art of calligraphy can be traced back in time, when technology did not provide people with the modern conveniences people of the 21st century enjoy. Calligraphy was considered a means of giving things -and life itself- a meaning because “sound couldn’t travel to another place and couldn’t remain, so writings came into being to act as the track of meaning and sound.” (Qian 36) From the first picture-like calligraphy works found about 4,000 years ago (Lu and Aiken 25) to the so-called Modern Calligraphy of the 1980s and 1990s (Zhuzhong and Desheng 109), a lot has changed.

Almost all people at least once in his/her life went abroad to see the way people live there and how they differs from others.

Thus, for nurses to provide the best possible care for their patients, it is important to institutionalize effective mechanisms that promote diversity awareness and self-diversity awareness. An example of such mechanism is the proposed Diversity Awareness Campaign.
