V.C. uses the term vicarious trauma to describe the secondhand trauma that people working in victim services, law enforcement, emergency medical services, fire services, and other similar professions face as part of the trauma they see their clients and patients endure. The O. V.C. also breaks down different reactions that professionals in this service may experience and what they may mean. For example, the OVC states that there are three types of reactions: a negative reaction, a neutral reaction, and a positive reaction.

Besides CSDT, the other options to avoid vicarious trauma are controlling the counselor's caseload, having peer supervision, education and training, agency responsibility, and personal coping mechanisms.

Understanding how communication works within a discourse community will allow us to better understand how we can add our voices to the discourse community. Goals: Create an academic essay (minimum of 1,200 words and no more than 1,350) analyzing rhetorical concepts including audience, purpose, genre, context, and language. Incorporate a minimum of four sources (two sources must be from Wake Tech's databases) Apply correct APA or MLA formatting to the document, in-text citations, and Works Cited/Reference citations. Consider which format your discipline aligns with and work with that format. If you decide to continue with APA, make sure to include a cover page. You will not need to create an abstract. Understand and apply standard written English. Use appropriate vocabulary and avoid mechanical and grammatical errors. Make sure to proofread and edit your material before submitting for assessment. Assignment: To complete this assignment, you'll analyze how people connect and share knowledge to better understand how the chosen discourse community works. You will review four sources (you can use the sources from your bibliography or ncorporate some new sources if necessary). Process: Review your sources from your annotated bibliography to see if they are relevant or if you need to fill in gaps with additional information. Gather additional sources if necessary. . Read or reread your sources, noting elements of the rhetorical situation and more detailed elements such as evidence, language, genre, etc. The "Textual Patterns" questions that follow can help guide your observations. . After you've gained some sense of patterns, conventions, and commonalities in the texts, analyze those trends to get a better understanding of how discourse works in your field. See the "Analysis" questions that follow to get a sense of potential "big picture" conclusions you might reach about communication in your field. Be sure to offer a lot of textual evidence to back up your observations. For example, don't just say a text from your field uses language for a general audience. Cite phrases and concrete examples since your reader will not have access to the actual texts.

Two very important points: 1) Rather than focus on content like you might be used to doing, this project asks you to focus on how that content is shared. In other words, don't spend too much time looking at the ideas in the texts. Look at the ways the ideas are shared. 2) Instead of just listing patterns and conventions in your discourse, make sure that you analyze those elements. Use your observations to draw conclusions about how communication works in your field. Need Help? As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or need help.
