Educating For Democracy: Reviving Rhetoric In The General Education Curriculum, David M. Stock
Educating For Democracy: Reviving Rhetoric In The General Education Curriculum, David M. Stock
Theses and Dissertations
This study is, in part, a response to arguments that claim higher education fails to prepare students with fundamental communication skills necessary for everyday life and indicative of "educated" persons. Though the validity of such arguments is contestable, they nonetheless reflect fundamental inadequacies in current educational theories and practices that have evolved over centuries of curricular, cultural, and socioeconomic change.

The consequences of rhetorically-impoverished general …

In addition, all three participants …

A multiple baseline design across participants was employed to assess experimental changes in interactions during the intervention condition.

This seminar paper will support the thesis that in order to influence the heart of the hearer in the direction of true faith and a godly life, the preacher will need to know his hearers. This thesis will be supported through an exploration of four questions. The first question is "Why does the preacher need to know his hearers?" Under this section there will be a discussion of the preacher's call, the idea that sermons are to be appropriate to the hearers, preaching as pastoral care, the hearers as participants in the preaching task, the image of the preacher, and …
