Interdisciplinary Studies – Academic Disciplines – Communications and Women's Studies Communications Studies and Women's Studies are wide-ranging globally important disciplines with applications in fields as diverse as education, law, business and nonprofit administration, for a few examples. Arizona State University has excellent programs in both Disciplines. The ASU Hugh Downs School of Human Communication takes a comprehensive approach to the area of "Communications," encompassing both Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. By studying and critiquing human communications, ASU's program seeks to create "knowledge, creativity and understanding" vital to families, workplaces and communities. Stressing foundational knowledge of communication theories, research methods, conceptual knowledge and practical communications skills, the program is focused on creating globally effective professionals in communications-related fields such as law, business, sales, human resources, public relations and management of nonprofit organizations. By preparing undergraduates and graduates for communications-related fields that are relevant worldwide, ASU is addressing the needs of an increasingly complex, shrinking globe. Equally globally relevant is Arizona State's Women's Studies program. ASU offers Women's Studies within the broader context of "Social Transformation," a field that also probes African and African American Studies, Asian Pacific American Studies, Culture, Society and Education, Justice and Social Inquiry. Clearly, ASU's Women's Studies program is not a narrow topic that is merely focused inward; rather, it is an interdisciplinary, diverse, multiple-perspective program seeking to engage students in various majors, minors and other fields of study. The obvious object of such a program is its students' readiness for local and global relevance by tackling such subfields as gender, health, sexuality, science and technology, work, globalization, ecology, social policy, violence prevention, media, film, performance and the arts through specifically named subfields such as: Culture; Economics; Film; History; Literature; Politics; and Science. In sum, though Communications Studies and Women's Studies are treated as distinct Disciplines, their ultimate purpose is the preparation of individuals for worldwide multidisciplinary relevance.

Most Americans think they understand what Buddhism is all about. Marketers are increasingly using the term "Zen" to imply that their products will provide users with calm, patience, and even enlightenment. Meditation, karma, and reincarnation are aspects of Buddhism that are commonly misunderstood. Most surprising to non-practitioners is the notion that man does not have a soul.
