...RUNNING HEAD: COMMUNICATION GENRE Communication Genre Comparative Analysis Paper Pamela E. Mundhenk Week 2 Assignment COM/PA 530 Professor J. Sanfillippo July 29, 2013 University of Phoenix Communication Genre Comparative Analysis Introduction Public administrators use many communication genres to reach their audiences. These genres range from business cards to governmental proposals. Each one has its own purpose. Each one has its own way of getting information to the audience quickly and efficiently. Each one has been affected by technology. Each has its own discourse conventions associated with it. And each has its own method of distribution—either external or internal. The purpose of this analysis is to compare some of these genres and explain how each one gets information to the intended audience effectively. The Purpose The business card genre introduces a reader to the person named on the card and provides professional information about that person. It helps the reader gain insight to pertinent information concerning the cardholder by providing the cardholder’s name, the agency’s name, an office phone number, address, and e-mail address. The resume, on the other hand, provides information to the reader regarding a candidate’s skills and experience related to potential employment. Information concerning the candidate, such as name, address, and phone number, along with employment experience, beginning with the most recent, aids the reader in...

...COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS SORTING ALGORITHM ABSTRACT: Sorting is a commonly used operation in computer science. In addition to its main job, sorting is often required to facilitate some other operation such as searching, merging and normalization. A sorting algorithm consists of comparison, swap, and assignment operations. There are several elementary and advanced sorting algorithms that are being used in practical life as well as in computation such as Quick sort, Bubble sort, Merge sort, Bucket sort, Heap sort, Radix sort etc. But the application of these algorithms depends on the problem statement. This paper introduces MQ sort which combines the advantages of quick sort and Merge sort. The comparative analysis of performance and complexity...

...Comparative Analysis Rural hospitals across the world are being affected financially. Rural communities are less wealthy; the majority of the residents are uninsured. They tend to use the emergency room as their primary care, putting a financial burned on the hospital. In 1986 the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) was enacted by congress as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA). EMTALA allows uninsured patients to receive care with an emergency condition regardless of insurance status or the ability to pay. The law states the patient may not be turned away and care cannot be delayed due to pay concerns. EMTALA requires the hospital to stabilize the patient before transferring or discharging the patient (Encyclopedia of Everyday Laws, 2013). According to The Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 135 million people visit the emergency room each year and hospitals lose approximately $34 billion in unpaid medical bills. With the passing of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act many unnecessary or preventable emergency room visits will be eliminated. My action plan for Ashe Memorial Hospital is to design a program to decrease the number of uninsured patients using the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). By decreasing the number of uninsured people, it will also: • decrease the number of emergency room visits • increase the number of people to receive preventative care • increase the quality of patient care A...

...Comparative Analysis Debate has sparked among residents of the East Park area after the ruination of a “freshly painted” wall of an East Park Café. The editorial piece ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’ written by the editor, published in ‘The Daily Tribute’ 16th July 2009, is written in response to this “puerile cultural vandalism”. The editor slams council officials and the local government for “[dragging their] heels for months” and then “[refusing] to offer support” to local businesses and individuals. One day after the publication of this editorial piece, Michaela Whitehouse, a member of the East Park council, writes in response to the article. Whitehouse intends to set the facts straight and to “address [the editors] less enlightened remarks” through her angry yet controlled tone. The editor presents his article with the bold, cliché title ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’ capturing the attention of ‘The Daily Tribute’ readers. Accompanied by a picture dominated by “lurid and tasteless sexual diagrams and obscenities”, the editor is able to establish the demoralising effects of graffiti. The graffiti resembling the “ugly” from the title, demonstrates that these “thugs” are not interested in what their finished product looks like; they will continue to “desecrate” properties at their own accord. The opening paragraph of the editorial embeds strong and attention grabbing language enforcing the difference between hardworking “entrepreneurs” and “dual-mortgage bearers” and “thugs”...

...The history of Social Security Alternatives to Social Security Feminization of poverty Economic impact of job discrimination By PAUL WISEMAN, AP Economics Writer Associated Press - Tuesday, June 2, 2015 More older Americans are being buried by housing debt WASHINGTON — Al and Saundra Karp have found an unconventional way to raise money and help save their Miami-area home from foreclosure: They're lining up gigs for their family jazz band. They enjoy performing. But it isn't exactly how Al, an 86-year-old Korean War vet, or Saundra, 76, had expected to spend their retirement. Of all the financial threats facing Americans of retirement age — outliving savings, falling for scams, paying for long-term care — housing isn't supposed to be one. But after a home-price collapse, the worst recession since the 1930s and some calamitous decisions to turn homes into cash machines, millions of them are straining to make house payments. The consequences can be severe. Retirees who use retirement money to pay housing costs can face disaster if their health deteriorates or their savings run short. They're more likely to need help from the government, charities or their children. Or they must keep working deep into retirement. "It's a big problem coming off the housing bubble," says Cary Sternberg, who advises seniors on housing issues in The Villages, a Florida retirement community. "A growing number of seniors are struggling with what to do about their home and their...

...COMPARITIVE Global Definition: It means relating to the scientific or historical comparison of different phenomena, institutions, or objects, such as languages, legal systems, or anatomical structures, in an effort to understand their origins or relationships. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/comparative Operational Definition: In linguistics, the comparative is a syntactic construction that serves to express a comparison between two (or more) entities or groups of entities in quality, quantity, or degree; it is one of the degrees of comparison, alongside the positive and the superlative.
