1) A synopsis of the argument crisis
What are we going to do? It is a main topic of the chapter. The book shows us a few essays to relate to crisis. That is about the nature of crisis or college education or the relationship between two countries. They introduced to us why we have to use crisis for the argument, because it is one way to learn how to develop argument. When we get in the crisis situation, we can illustrate many different sides, and one of them will be most persuasive argument leads the direction of the argument.
Maybe we wondered what is the definition of a crisis? Wikipedia a free web encyclopedia describes them a turning point or decisive moment in events. Typically, it is the moment from which an illness may go on to death or recovery. it is a term meaning 'a testing time' or 'emergency event.'
Let¡¯s think about the crisis to relate in real world. What is the crisis in real world? Just think more deeply, we can notice everything that is arroud us can be crisis. For example, it can be a climate or water or trash problem etc. Also even though the developing communication technology, some expert still worrying about the sense of alienation between people furthermore
between nations. The concern occurred through the Iraq war.
2) Whether you agree with the argument
I totally agree that we are in the crisis whatever is. We can read that everyday through the newspaper, books and campaign. Furthermore, the movie show us the imagination situation, if we are doing nothing about relate to crisis. From the book, I want to focus the nature (land) of crisis, because that can be urgent in current more than any other crisis.
When I think about the word of ¡°crisis,¡± I always think about the water or climate crisis until read the essays; ¡°A Shock to the System,¡± and ¡°Big House in the Wilderness.¡± The authors of the essays are worrying about the relationship between animals and humans.

The energy crisis of the 1970’s caused authorities to search out other renewable sources of energy, which currently remain undeveloped and keep the U.S. today generally dependant on foreign fuel. According to Merriam Webster dictionary, a crisis is a “difficult or dangerous situation that needs serious attention.” The energy crisis of the 1970’s produced a backlash that affected much of the economy and spread fear and panic over the United States.
Crises are inevitable. But Crises can be dealt a number of ways, due to their prevalence. However, books seem to be a popular choice, why? What makes them special and useful in times of crises? Some of the most well-known books involve a description of crisis or a character going through the crisis. In Night, Author Elie Wiesel describes his experience in Nazi Hungary and in concentration camps such as Auschwitz and Buchenwald to bring awareness about the horrors of Holocaust and warn the people about any future atrocities. Furthermore, in The Book Thief, The main character, Liesel Meminger, describes her experience with stealing books and how it helped her survive and stay courageous during the Nazi regime. Lastly, in The Dairy of a Young Girl, Anne Frank
Crisis is an event that is unplanned, unwanted, and dangerous and leads to hard decision making. There are many different types of crisis such as economic crisis, mental health crisis, situational crisis, social crisis, adventitious crisis and many more. Every type of crisis affects people more than we think and know. There is always someone who loses and who gains during a crisis. People who lose are usually the ones who are affected the most such as losing a job, losing a family member or someone close to them, losing their homes and sometimes even their own lives. The people who gain are usually the rich people who prey on the poor and usually gain from making money and the poor’s lives miserable.
Echterling, Presbury and McKee (2005) define crisis as a turning point in one’s life that is brief, but a crucial time in which, there is opportunity for dramatic growth and positive changes, as well as the danger of violence and devastation. They further state that whatever the outcome, people do not emerge from a crisis unchanged; if there is a negative resolution, the crisis can leave alienation, bitterness, devastated relationships and even death in its wake; on the other hand, if the crisis is resolved successfully a survivor can develop a deeper appreciation for life, a stronger sense of resolve, a mature perspective, greater feelings of competence, and richer relationships.
In the following analysis, I will be focusing on the problems that occurred, how it was/could’ve been resolved, stakeholders that were involved and how crises can affect
A crisis or emergency may be an incident, extreme climatic event, disease outbreak, security issue or any other event that poses a significant threat to:
One immediate crisis is Cindy being overwhelmed with the day to day activities and her impulses to use again. Corey has a crisis because he has failed to make friends in school, and he has alienated himself from his classmates. Corey has resentment feeling toward his parents. Joe is dissatisfied with his new job.
Crisis is defined as a major, unpredictable event that has potentially negative results. The event and its aftermath may significantly damage an organization and its employees, products, services, financial condition and reputation. There are many types of crises, for example, economic crises, physical crises, personnel crises, criminal crises, information crises, reputation crises and natural crises. This incident has been grouped into physical crises, natural crises and economic crises. In order to prevent crises from adversely affecting the firm, organizations need effective plans and procedures in place to prevent crises if possible or to mitigate their effects when they do occur.
There are many definitions for what is considered to be a crisis. Alan Jay Zaremba, author of the textbook ”Organizational Communication,” combines several definitions of the word to conclude that a crisis is “an incident that occurs unexpectedly, could damage an organization’s reputation, values, and/or performance, and requires effective communication. (Zaremba, 2010) In the case of the Nuance Group, their current situation completely blindsided the organization, was a nightmare for their reputation, and communication was now the key element in restoring their image. This was indeed a crisis.
Marx’s Theory of Crisis encompasses the ideas, values and views of many other key economic theories that have been propounded by world leading and renowned economists over the past few centuries. For instance, in order to understand the essence
Again, to understand a crisis it is better for us to work as a group to guarantee that all the aspects are recognized. Next, we need to shield ourselves from becoming too rigid in our thinking; because this will prevent creative ideas. We must anticipate the effects brought on by the crisis and have plans on how to manage them before they even arise. Knowing what you are going to do also brings a sense of calm which increases our chances of success. Innovative thinking gives us an edge when it comes to decision making as well – because when we can foresee the effects of our decisions we have more confidence in making them. Crisis often feels dark to us and as humans we fear the unknown but acting with the candle of initiative brings light to the situation and allows us to use what we know to expect what will come
In this writer’s opinion, after 2008’s crisis impacting, leaders should increase the ability about precaution before crisis and ability in crisis because of leaders’ position. it is hard to escape the involvement even though their advices were objected. In that situation, it requires leaders to resolve and reduce the damage to a minimum.
A crisis may occur when an individual is unable to deal effectively with stressful changes in the environment. A stressful event alone does not constitute a crisis; rather, crisis is determined by the individual's view of the event and response to it. If the individual sees the event as significant and threatening, has exhausted all his/her usual coping strategies without effect, and is unaware or unable to pursue other alternatives, then the precipitating event may push the individual toward psychological disequilibrium, a state of crisis (Smead, 1988).
Recently, as a High school Senior planning to attend college, I have been looking at how I am going to pay for college. The more I research student loans, the more I feel fortunate enough to have parents who are willing to help me pay for college to keep me from graduating with debt. Student loans causing debt should be considered a crisis. Even though some may disagree, students struggling to pay off loans, students needing jobs in their field of study, and colleges needing to help students with debt, is causing a crisis.
The communication process is not something that begins when a crisis rears its ugly head rather it is a process that takes place in preparing for a crisis before it happens. While the term crisis represents a blanket term used to describe many situations, each situation is unique, thus presenting different obstacles to overcome. However, with a well-established advanced plan in place an organization places itself in a position to overcome and work around obstacles. The development of a comprehensive crisis management plan is one achieved through effective communication where each member of the crisis management team has an advanced shared understanding of his or her role and responsibility during a time of crisis (du Pr'e, 2005).
