The Politics Media Equation:Exposing Two Faces Of Old Nexus Through Study Of General Elections,Wikileaks And Radia Tapes, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr

Ratnesh Dwivedi

The important identity of a responsible media is playing an unbiased role in reporting a matter without giving unnecessary hype to attract the attention of the gullible public with the object of making money and money only.After reporting properly the media can educate the public to form their own opinion in the matters of public interest. Throughout the centuries, the world has never existed without information and communication, hence the inexhaustible essence of mass media. The government has the power to either make or reject whatever that will exist within its environment. It also determines how free the mass media …

Cedarville Magazine, Fall 2013: A Light In The Pharmacy, Cedarville University

Cedarville Magazine

In recent years, we’ve seen the health care industry become an expansive force in American culture, politics, and the economy. It has grown more specialized at a time when we, as patients, are increasingly responsible to navigate its complexity on our own. Sometimes help can be found in surprising places.

Pharmacy, as a profession, is responding to the needs and opportunities created by the new health care landscape. Your “friendly neighborhood pharmacist” does much more than stand behind a counter and fill your prescriptions. Pharmacists are taking more active roles in research, medication management, preventive care, education, ethics … and …

Cedarville Magazine, Summer 2013: Mind Body Soul Food, Cedarville University

Cedarville Magazine

It’s summertime! And our thoughts turn to backyard barbeques and picnics at the park, vegetable gardens and farm markets. It’s not just the bold colors and textures of summertime foods that capture us, but also the words we use to describe them: fresh, ripe, juicy, crisp, organic. Summer is an exciting food season. And because this is a time of year when we tend to be more active, spending more time outdoors, we are more intentional about how we fuel, restore, and steward our bodies.

In this issue of Cedarville Magazine, we provide a variety of perspectives and resources to …

The Risks And Rewards Of Serving As A Department Chair, Jon A. Hess

Communication Faculty Publications

Serving as chair is a significant point in the career of any faculty member who inhabits the office. It is a position with high highs and low lows, significant stressors and some perks, the chance to have a positive impact on a program, and the near certainty that at some point you will generate disagreement with almost everyone in the department. The department chair is a boundary position between the university administration and the faculty; a chair inhabits both worlds, but resides fully in neither. Chairs are charged with numerous responsibilities and often lack full authority needed to accomplish their …

“Human Relations Movement In View Of Interpersonal Relations With Emphasis On Mayo’S Work”, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr

Ratnesh Dwivedi

Human relations movement refers to the researchers of organizational development who study the behavior of people in groups, in particular workplace groups. It originated in the 1930s' Hawthorne studies, which examined the effects of social relations, motivation and employee satisfaction on factory productivity. The movement viewed workers in terms of their psychology and fit with companies, rather than as interchangeable parts, and it resulted in the creation of the discipline of human resource management. An interpersonal relationship is an association between two or more people that may range in duration from brief to enduring. This association may be based on …

Fair And Square?: An Examination Of The Relationships Among Classroom Justice And Relational Teaching Messages, Laura E. Young, Sean M. Horan, Brandi N. Frisby

Scholarship and Professional Work - Communication

Students and instructors acknowledge the importance of the instructor–student relationship in the classroom. Despite the importance of the instructor–student interpersonal relationship, there can also be unexpected or undesirable outcomes associated with relational teaching. Using the theoretical framework of leader–member exchange, we explored relational teaching messages to understand how they may relate positively or negatively to student perceptions of classroom justice. Participants (N = 124) completed measures about relational communication strategies (i.e., rapport, confirmation, and affinity-seeking) and classroom justice (i.e., procedural, interactional, and distributive). Results indicate the enjoyable interaction dimension of rapport positively predicted perceptions of all three types of justice. …
