For this paper, you are to choose one of the topics listed below (remember, this topic was selected in week five and was used for the scholarship search paper in week six.), then you are to choose one of three approaches to the study of organizational communication: the systems approach, the cultural approach, or the critical approach. In your paper, you should use this approach to provide an analysis of your chosen organizational communication process.

Specifically, your paper should consist of the following sections:

•              A brief introduction that discusses the organizational communication process and the approach you will use to analyze that process.

•              A section describing the assumptions and research tenets of the approach (systems, cultural, or critical) you'll use in your analysis.

•              A review of literature that has investigated the process you've chosen with the approach you've chosen (e.g., what do we already know about socialization from a cultural perspective or what do we already know about cultural diversity from a critical perspective).

•              A detailed argument about future research that could be conducted to further our knowledge about the process you've chosen through the research approach you've taken.

Your paper should be written in APA format and should include at least 10 references (other than the textbook). Well-argued papers would be 8-12 pages long.
