Write a short 1-2 page essay on the importance of direct and indirect communication for artists and communication professionals. In so doing be sure to define and discuss both direct and indirect communication paying particular attention to Craddock’s work in this area. However, take his ideas and apply them to artists and communication professionals and not seminarians (as Craddock did). Please provide several examples of the use of indirect communication. Some of the examples should be drawn from the popular media: films, books, social  media, theater, etc. (Examples can also be drawn from our texts: Lindvall, et al., and O’Connor). However, you are encouraged to find examples of indirect and direct communication within our culture today. Again, be sure to define and defend your definitions with proper references. (I would suggest no more than two pages be dedicated to this question.)

Instructions: In a 3–5 page proposal to your client, complete the following tasks: Identify a real or mock small business startup company and describe the company, its industry, core competencies, and the management team. Compare and contrast the Mac, Linux, and Windows operating systems. Compare the speed, ease for installation, ease of use, and security of the operating systems. Identify business requirements including the company’s expectations for the operating system and their primary goals. (Speed? Stability? Security?) Recommend an operating system for your client to use moving forward. Provide justification for your recommendation.
