Abstract
This paper begins with a discussion of the roots and definition of the word 'rhetoric' by Greek philosophers. It uses as an example of 'rhetoric criticism', a review of the television series by the name of "Survivor" where sixteen carefully chosen people are ?cast away? on a movie set that happens to be on an exotic island. The significance of the phenomenal success of the television show "Survivor" is based upon its supposed reality and has evoked much controversy and debate.
From the Paper
"Rhetoric is defined as a counterpart of Dialectic where, in the literal sense of the word, the former is the art of speaking or writing. Rhetoric comes from the Greek word for speech. It has not always been considered a respectable academic discipline. Plato was critical of the idea that rhetoric should be called an art, while Aristotle argued in On Rhetoric that it was indeed an art. Plato?s perspective on rhetoric has not been uncommon throughout the ages, namely, that rhetoric is no art at all but merely practiced flattery where rhetoric is labeled as the art of persuasion."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that the work 'Counseling Survivors of Sexual Abuse' authored by Diane M. Langberg is a powerful, daring and effective book. The writer presents her personal reaction to the treatment of sexual abuse and notes that the book opened her eyes to what treatments are used to assist an abuser and what foundations are used to get over the abuse. The writer concludes with a very favorable impression of Dr. Langberg's passion to aide, assist and help the survivors that have been sexually abused, especially in the theological framework of people that have been traumatized.
From the Paper
"Another eye opener is the fact that Dr. Langberg encourages survivors to write out Isaiah 53, which should assist with brining God closer into their lives since Jesus suffered on the cross and was resurrected.
"It seems that there are various factors that affect a child's reaction to abuse to include how the child perceives the abuser and distinctive things associated from the assault. Dr. Langberg observed and counseled symptomatic and asymptomatic victims; as part of treatment methods, reunification issues and cognitive therapy along with nondirective support therapy. Dr. Langberg uses individual therapy as opposed to group therapy."

This paper looks how the TV series "Survivor" reflects true group dynamics .

Abstract
This paper starts by defining group dynamics and examines the popular TV series "Survivor" exemplifies this concept. It states that TV viewers experience a taste of reality when watching the show as it "stars" real people. The essence of the series is forming a solid group and thereafter dismantling it.
From the paper:
"Television, like most media forms, is intended to show, rather than simply tell, something about the human condition. As a viewer, television has the capacity to act as a mirror into our own lives, or the lives of people we know. Current television shows allow viewers to leave the stresses of their own lives, and become a part of the lives of characters we relate to, or who are so far from our own experiences that we forget about our own problems, anxieties and worries, to participate in the often tranquil or happily exciting lives of another person."

Abstract
The writer defines the terms, gives a history of successful group therapy situations and examines the proposal of group therapy for this population. The paper concludes that further research needs to be conducted surrounding the validity of using group therapy with this population, differences in outcome using different models of group therapy and the differences between individual and group therapy.
From the Paper
"Another factor to consider when designing a group for CSA survivors is the amount of structure under which the group will operate. Mennen & Meadow (1993) believe structure is an especially important concern when dealing with this population due to the history of these clients. Many of their histories include an abuser who created and defined their reality and feelings, a situation that should not be recreated in the therapy group. An overemphasis on structure can lead the members into a dependent relationship with the group leaders in which the survivors wait for the therapists to define and direct the process of the group, rather than taking charge of their own recovery (Ettin, 1989). In defense of a structured format, it has been found that through structured exercises, common themes can be raised and explored in a way that has proven effective for other groups (Mennen & Meadow, 1993)."

From the Paper
"When the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912, only approximately 700 of her more than 2,200 passengers were rescued. Out of those only 26 percent were in the third class, even though Titanic carried more third class passengers than first and second combined (Geller 197-216). Subsequent survivor accounts would reveal that first and second class passengers were given more opportunities for rescue in several ways. Eloise Smith was a first class passenger who escaped in a lifeboat. Her account hints at the underlying view that largely determined who survived the sinking of Titanic: "The cries [of passengers in the sea] we heard I thought were seamen, or possibly steerage who had overslept, it not occurring to me for a moment that my husband and my friends were not saved" (Quinn 112)."

The Victims and Survivors of Downsizing, 2008.
A look at the negative effect on employees of downsizing.
1,230 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at some of the problems of downsizing, a common trend among organizations all over the world since the early 80s. The paper points out that downsizing, also known as, layoffs, rightsizing, or restructuring, has many names, but has a clear meaning, which is, the loss of employment for some select employees in organizations. Mergers, acquisitions, technological changes and global competition contribute to the organization's decision to downsize which forces employees to be the survivors or the victims of this process. This paper explores the problems faced by post-downsizing victims and survivors, and how the management of an organization can help the employees work through this phase. It concludes that downsizing is a constant trend that is thought to bring in some benefits to the organizations, however, cutting back on job positions leaves a negative impact on both victims and survivors.
From the Paper
"In the post-downsizing phase, the management of an organization needs to deal with victims and survivors in a very tactful way, as employees are one of the most important elements which contribute to an organization's productivity, competitiveness, effectiveness and efficiency (Manfred et. al, 1997). When employees are faced with job insecurity, it is said that the "psychological contract" between the employer and employee has been broken. This contract ensures the employees job satisfaction and security, and when this is broken, it is very difficult for management to win back the trust of its employees. Organizations have different ways of helping the victims and survivors of downsizing, but there are a few which are more efficient than the others."

Margaret Walker: A Creative Survivor, 2004.
An analysis of the novel, "Jubilee", by Margaret Walker.
1,249 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how "Jubilee" was the crowning achievement of Margaret Walker?s career. A sprawling novel about Civil War-era blacks, the novel is simultaneously a preservation of Walker?s family history and an historically accurate portrayal of slavery life for many blacks of the times. In particular, the novel is a testament to Walker as a creative survivor, which she discusses in her essay, ?How I Wrote 'Jubilee'.? It explores how Margaret Walker can be considered a creative survivor in three ways. First, through her dedication and diligence, she kept the "Jubilee" project alive over a span of many years. Secondly, "Jubilee" is the representation of the survival of Walker?s heritage; the novel is her creative way of preserving, not only the history of her family, but also the history of black Americans in the face of historical whitewashing. Finally, in ?How I Wrote Jubilee?, Walker shows how important the creative process is to her own personal survival; it is the lens through which she sees the world and without her creative outlets, she herself could not survive.
From the Paper
"Walker as a creative survivor is also evident in the fact that the project itself is a way to preserve the author?s own history and that of her family. From the beginning, the novel was a labor of love for Walker and her inspiration to write it had more to do with her love for her family than anything else. ?Most of my life I have been involved with writing this story about my great-grandmother, and even if Jubilee were never considered an artistic or commercial success I would still be happy just to have finished it? (Walker 50). The story of the novel was intensely personal, and Walker believed it was her duty to preserve this oral history that had been passed down from her great-grandmother."

From the Paper
"In conclusion, nurses must be keenly aware of the individual definitions of quality of life and when working with a stroke survivor, remain diligent in drawing the patient out in effective communication to ascertain how they believe their quality of life is being or has been affects by the stroke. Nurses spend more time with patients than any other health care professional; nurses foster a greater sense of patient trust than other health care professionals (Dr. Danielle West, personal communication, October 10, 2006). Nurses should use that trust to provide caring interventions for their patients, acting as case managers or advocates for the stroke survivor."

Abstract
The paper looks at several sources, including first-hand accounts of survivors, to discover what were the events that led to the rescue of some passengers when the majority did not survive the sinking ship. The writer brings in several theories from the rescue of women and children only to the inability of non-English speakers to understand the full scope of the impending tragedy.
From the Paper
"On 10 April 1912, the American-owned British-operated White Star liner Titanic departed from the Irish port of Queenstown on her maiden voyage. She carried approximately 2,228 passengers and crew, including 1,697 men (12 years of age and older) and 528 women and children (Geller 8). Four days later, on April 14, 1912, the Titanic sank two hours and 40 minutes after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic (Geller 8). Titanic was built in a period of history called the Edwardian Era in Britain, La Belle Epoque in France and the Gilded Age in America (Geller 13). The period was characterized by the Industrial Revolution, which helped fuel a change in the traditional society."

" This paper analyzes the recent (1983) congressional reforms of the Old.Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Program (OASDI), better known to most people in the United States as the Social Security Program.

The analysis discusses, finally, the implementation of the OASDI reforms and gives an account of who "won" and who "lost" as a(...)"
