The purpose of public relations writing would be for a professional communicator who is very good at communicating through writing to be masters of all manner of written, spoken, and digital communications and knowing how to write is number one (Seitel, 2015).

Five Organizations for the Communications Professional

There are plenty of organizations for the Communication Professional but here are five that I have chosen that cater to the communication professional and have plenty of benefits to go along.

Communicating the Truth about Genetically Modified Organisms September 19, 2015

 General Education Capstone Final



   
GMO’s Healthy or Unhealthy?
Who can we Believe?

In recent times, Genetically Modified Organisms are replacing our diet with genetically grown and altered food scientifically that we buy and eat from our stores every day. People who are trained as Genetically Modification Engineers, insert extracted genes from one living thing into the DNA of another living thing artificially to make new traits. This is done with the motivation to make the foods resists threats, grow bigger, grow faster, and produce more than the natural state of these foods can produce. More research is needed as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not conduct safety studies on these Genetically Modified foods and leaves this process up to the companies that are making and selling them (Smith, 2014). GMO’s can threaten our environment, land, our food security, and agricultural system as they are sprayed with very large amounts of herbicides that pollute our soil. These herbicides also get into our water systems and then into our foods (FAQs about GMO’s, 2015). Since Genetically Modified Foods are not yet labeled for the consumer when buying, and are impossible to produce in nature and only in a lab, it is questioned if these foods are healthy for us to consume on a daily basis.

Educating Others on the Importance of Global Citizenship August 20, 2015




Global Citizenship
            It is our responsibility as Americans to recognize our role in educating others on global citizenship in everything that we do from our jobs, to social gatherings, volunteering, leading, and everyday interactions with others.  We need to see our responsibilities as active members of our global community to absorb, reflect, and share different points of view and roles within our global interconnected society today.
