Communication theories have been developed other the years to explore the importance of the concepts across societies and communities across the world. However, communication theories are not only about organisations. These theories are classified as a component of the organisation and play a critical role in the evolution of the communication aspects that makes the society, significantly contributing to the process of social change (Louw, 2010).

Commercial law Question 1 In a partnership relationship, each partner should act in the best interests of the other partners. All partners must be accountable for all the incurred profits as well as the use of the property. Consequently, any partner who decides to use the property belonging to the business for their benefits must pay for all incurred profits and refund in case of damages. Similarly, a partner who runs an identical business without consent will forward all the profits, which will be, in turn, distributed among the partners. However, they will not be refunded in case of losses. For instance, if Gilbert, a partner in a boutique in Toronto, were to open a similar boutique in Ottawa without consent, any profits made from the Ottawa business will be paid over to the Toronto partnership. The profits will be distributed equally among the partners. Additionally, the principle provides that there must be a disclosure of information among partners for the benefit of the business. For example, if Gilbert comes across a deal to become a partner in another boutique,…

The community had various resources that it would tap to create community awareness on disease control and prevention. For instance, the community sufficiently trained community health practitioners who would help in enlightening the community members. In the United States of America, various community health organizations are mandated to create community awareness. They include; the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) (Han et.al. 2017).

Such bodies have achieved greater miles in creating customer awareness in matters concerning disease control and prevention. In part B of the community strategic plan, I will be focusing on the issue of reducing drug experimentation among young adults. The…
Unconscious Communication Of The Self Communication is part of living, and interaction with others would be impossible without communication. The non-verbal bit of communication is strongest and speaks a mountain compared to the words one speaks. Ritually or unconsciously, we present different fronts when communicating with different persons or groups as a way of fitting in or creating a favorable environment for communication to thrive. Many are situations where interactions with certain groups or individuals have not gone well due to the misinterpreted fronts that individuals have displayed. For instance, having a jolly and extremely cheerful front where a somber front is needed. The front one presents during different interactions are great determinants of the relationships that one will establish during those interactions.

Communications strategy employed by any lawmaker(s). Communication is an essential element in society that should be maintained at all levels because it plays a vital role in ensuring that individuals can send and receive messages or information in the most convenient way possible. The transfer of these messages from one destination to the other can be faced by numerous obstacles such as cultural positioning, emotions, location, or even the medium used to deliver the message. Therefore, an effective communications strategy is important in each sector, such as the legislation, because the entire population should comprehend the laws correctly. As the country prepares itself for the State of Union address, verbal communications strategies, which include written and oral communication, is the ultimate method of message delivery by the lawmakers (Walker III, 2019). This is because the general public, which is the targeted audience, needs to understand each legislation that they address. The lawmakers have succeeded in developing an essential communications strategy because of their incorporation of some crucial techniques such as creating messages relevant to the audience, having credible speakers, effective…
Communication Techniques While viewing the first part, I could tell that the patient was furious, uncomfortable, and in pain. The patient also sounded tired, maybe due to lack of enough sleep the previous night due to the pain she felt, and the nurse on duty did not respond to her complaints. The patient says that she was very uncomfortable, and she needed immediate attention from the nurse. I feel that the nurse is very empathetic; she tries to understand every aspect of the patient that is how uncomfortable the patient is and what medication she can give. Although she is sure no prescription can be given to the patient, she speaks to the patient politely and promises to do something to ease the pain. The nurse in the second part is very considerate and sounds helpful to the patients. If I were the nurse, I would be very compassionate with the patient because she already suffered enough being in the hospital with harsh treatment from the previous nurse. I would be sympathetic and considerate with the patient and offer…
Comparing the Jewish Bar Mitzvah and Catholic Confirmation Ritual The term “Bar Mitzvah” literally refers to the “son of the commandment.” The word “Bar” is Aramaic and means “son.” It used to be a common word among the Jewish people. The term “Mitzvah” means “commandment” in both Aramaic and Hebrew. The ceremony is also referred to as Bat Mitzvah when it is the girl who is the subject, as “Bat” refers to daughter in Aramaic and Hebrew. Under Jewish Law, children may not always be forced to observe ten commandments, even though they may often be encouraged to do so as many times as possible as a way of learning the commitment they will be having as adults. When they turn 13 years of age (usually 12 for girls), children get committed to observing the commandment (Grondin, 2020). The ceremony notes the conclusion, in a rather formal way, that both obligation and right of taking part in leading the religious services in countering a minyan, in forming a binding contract, as a way of testifying prior ecclesiastical courts and in marrying.…
