Stereotyping of Arab Muslims in the New York Times for the Past Forty Years This study examines stereotyping of Arab Muslims in the New York Times for the past forty years. Theorists suggest that stereotyping of a minority group effects the public's opinion of that group. Other communication media theorists say that only under extreme conditions will the negative stereotypes reflect the publics' opinions of the portrayed minority group.

The terrorist attacks have been perpetrated by countries that are predominantly Islamic with the counter attacks coming from a well-armed
Introduction In strategic Management, it is important to note that strategy, competitive advantage, organisations and environments constantly change (Bettis, et al; 2014). With this ever dynamic environment, change is important and can occur unexpectedly or in other instances it occurs in a planned gradual way. During a change process, a business needs to achieve and maintain competitive advantage by using different strategies. Each of these strategies needs to be analysed by using different strategy

It is worth mentioning here that the issue of efficient panelling or rationalisation is a broad research interest separate from that of material selection [1], and will not be addressed in this report, the focus here being on structural suitability and modelling.

c) Illustrate your answer with the close but brief examination of two media theories or two theories of communication; and two philosophies of media and communication. Whenever philosophy is mentioned in itself or in a connector with any matter or study in any academic endeavour, it becomes a quagmire of limitless intellectual, argumentative, psychological landline of abstraction.
