This paper outlines where the education status lies for hundreds of thousands of refugees that have been living outside of their homeland. For these children, some may go an entire educational generation without access to enrollment in a school that speaks their language.
This research study takes the answers of 200 American respondents and their attitudes toward a Muslim Syria. The media offer a narrative that many Americans simply accept. Those with personal experience may feel differently than those saturated with our socio-political environment. "America on Syria: A Cultivated Perspective" explains the effects of this dynamic.
The above paper details the effects of the original Uncertainty Reduction Theory (URT) spearheaded by Charles Berger. URT has been critiqued and adopted by other researchers to answer more in-depth and broad range communication questions. Insights from four studies are featured below and offer an example for how communication shapes the world around us. Uncertainty in the workplace, in online dating, in consumerism, and in troubled romantic partnerships are highlighted and advice and previews for further research are included in Understanding Uncertainty Reduction Theory: Shaping Communication.
The following article displays the rock in a hard place that the FCC and Congress face when protecting the number one process of democracy: elections; while allowing broadcasters to have their first amendment rights.

Words do more than convey information. The power of our words can actually destroy one’s spirit, even stir up hatred and violence. They not only exacerbate wounds but inflict them directly.
