Survivor Camp Day 11 STOP Survival Scenarios The STOP principle can be used for any emergency situation. Whether there is a fire, your dog darted out through the door or you are lost, the steps are the same. Stop, think, observe and plan, then take action. The STOP principle is key to remaining calm and devising an effective plan of action. You got yourself into the situation and, more than likely, you can get yourself out of it. S Stop As soon as you realize that you may be lost, stop, stay calm and stay put. Going any further greatly increases your chances of walking in circles and making poor decisions. Take some time to collect your thoughts and calm yourself, and others in your group, down. T Think Take time to think about the situation.

  • Survival In Unbroken

    I enjoyed reading Unbroken which is a book that showed the struggles of a grueling air warfare between United States and Japan. Throughout the book, Laura Hillenbrand, author of Unbroken gripped the reader’s attention through the details of gut-wrenching conflicts. By showing the art of survival through the character, Louis Zamperini, Hillenbrand demonstrates the theme of resilience through persistency, intelligent choice making, and willingness to live.

  • Outliving Oneself

    1558 Words  | 4 Pages

    The idea of “Outliving Oneself” depends on the concepts of trauma and most importantly the self, in a situation where said trauma obliterates the self for an indefinite amount of time. Brison presents the self in three interwoven parts: the embodied self, the self as narrative, and the autonomous self. Any of these parts of self depend largely on the individual’s society, culture, and interactions with other people. The embodied self represents the self in conjunction with the physical body, which our society separates from the self, to intimate a soul or personality, and also assigns genders to certain traits. Trauma dissolves this separation of body and mind because violence brings the traumatized to face their own mortality. They have to see their body as an object because their assailant treats it as an object. Trauma is so damaging because the self cannot exert any power whatsoever; the interaction between the assailant and the victim, essentially a social situation, robs the victim of a voice, because the assailant ignores it, a personality, because it is of no consequence to the assailant, and a self, because the assailant uses the body as an object, and the body plays a more central role in the interaction than the self does. Brison quotes Cathy Winkler in saying a rape is a “social murder,” because the rapist’s part in the interaction defines the victim through their actions that take away the victim’s sense of self. Any control that the victim felt over their body gets taken from them by the rapist. The consequences of this trauma include a loss of control over physiological functions, such as emotion and incapacitation from anxiety; the body and mind are out of balance, which leads the victim to be stigmatized by societ...

  • Survival through Escape

    1768 Words  | 4 Pages

    “The bigger the real-life problems, the greater the tendency […] to retreat into a reassuring fantasy-land” (Naylor). When the difficulties of life are unbearable, people often escape through various forms, such as an imaginary world where such problems do not exist. This is a form of escape and a way of ensuring that the difficulties at hand do not overpower their lives. This idea is explored through various characters in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The district in which these characters are imprisoned, Gilead, is controlled by a radical Puritan government. There exists a regulation for every aspect of the characters’ lives: from religion to sexuality, from language to occupation, from meals to marriages. With such absolute laws, one would imagine that suicide is the only escape; however, numerous characters within the novel learn to escape in a manner which does not cause them harm. In Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, government extremists cleverly employ various forms of control to manipulate the characters into feeling powerless and isolated; ultimately, this forces them to depend on temporary escapes to survive in Gilead.

  • Emily Dickinson's Because I Could Not Stop For Death

    727 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Emily Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” she uses the structure of her poem and rhetoric as concrete representation of her abstract beliefs about death to comfort and encourage readers into accepting Death when He comes. The underlying theme that can be extracted from this poem is that death is just a new beginning. Dickinson deftly reassures her readers of this with innovative organization and management, life-like rhyme and rhythm, subtle but meaningful use of symbolism, and ironic metaphors.

  • CIT Model Of Crisis Intervention

    1277 Words  | 3 Pages

    They not only have to handle such calls with a tactical and safe approach, but they have to handle these people with empathy and understanding. If someone poses as a threat to themselves or others, officers need to be able to gain control of the person without having to call a negotiation team and preferably with a low-lethality method. Interventions they may use include de-escalation, risk assessment, and lethality determination. Officers are also responsible to use good discretion when determining whether a person should enter the mental health system or the criminal justice system. With crisis intervention training, officers can prevent a number of mental health crises by understanding the nature of these calls and can develop better discretion, as well as develop patience and compassion. Sometimes it is better to be patient with a mentally ill person, rather than trying to clear the call as quickly as possible. Patiently managing a situation with a person suffering from severe symptoms of mental illness ensures not just their own safety, but others’ safety as well. Giving the person clear choices during the interaction will also help facilitate a positive and patient interaction. Patiently managing a mentally ill person can prevent detainment, which is a big goal of CIT. Too many mentally ill people are ending up in jails where they receive little to no treatment at
