For your essay paper, please choose between the Topics of Self-Concept or Perception. Contents for Self-Concept should address the influence of Self-Concept in Communication, Characteristics of Self-Concept, or the impact of changes in Self-Concept. For students writing on about Perception, please focus on the influence of Perception on Communication, the way Culture can shape Perception, or the impact of age on the Perceptual Process. In both cases, these are merely suggestions, feel free to explore other aspects about the topics, but please give me an early indication of the nature of the contents. Each paper should have at least two additional citations other than the assigned text that are researched citations, not quotes from a film. Also, do not employ Wikipedia as a citation. For further content development please include the topics of Verbal or Nonverbal Communication, taking consideration the influence of either Culture, Age, or Gender. An “A” paper will demonstrate growth not only in the skill in general but growth while interacting with a person from a different culture or who is of a different gender. You can expand on this as you would like but these are the primary areas that I am looking for. Be as specific about your information as possible to really help the reader understand the context, feelings, language, interpretations and situation as much as possible. Remember it is essential to include language from the textbook or from outside research to demonstrate your comprehension and everyday use of the information regarding interpersonal communication.

Consider the following Can the instructor answer these questions clearly after reading your paper? What was the area to be research or discussed in-depth? Was the challenge of experimenting with a person from a different culture or gender taken?
