  • Sonja Christopher
    Sonja Christopher Season: 1 Borneo Finish: 16th place / 1st boot / Day 3 Booted: 4-3-1 DOB: 1/28/37 Age during show: 63 Age now: 70 Marital Status: Single Occupation: Musician Hometown: Walnut Creek, California Luxury Item: Ukulele Biography: Sonja was born and raised in Olympia, Washington. Her studies at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, the University of Oslo in Norway, the University of Washington in Seattle and the University of California, Berkeley, produced a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, along with a teaching credential. Before retiring, Sonja worked as an investment counselor, tennis teacher and elementary school teacher. She currently works part-time as a music therapist, playing the banjo as she leads sing- alongs at Alzheimer's centers. She also enjoys performing in local community theater. Her favorite sport is swimming, although it used to be tennis, which she played competitively for a number of years. She also enjoys playing Bridge. In December of 1997, Sonja was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. She underwent pre-surgical chemotherapy, followed by lumpectomy and radiation and has resumed a full, healthy life. Sonja describes herself as courageous, open and fun-loving. In describing her perfect day, Sonja would wake up feeling good and counting her blessings. She would enjoy a cup of coffee while reading the paper before heading out to exercise (walk, bike, swimming or yoga). Afterwards, she would connect with a friend by phone or over lunch before or after performing at a nursing home. At some point in her day, she would discover a new interest, "be there" for someone in need, have a new idea or fix something around the house and find that all the desk work which requires a good deal of her time would miraculously get done by itself.

This paper outlines the various ways Survivor has been able to outwit, outlast, and outplay for twenty-seven seasons. This award-winning American reality competition show tests the physical, mental, emotional, and social limits of anyone who is willing to be “stranded” on a deserted island in order to have the chance to win $1,000,000. As contestants try to adapt to their new island lifestyle, producers try to adapt new ways to keep the audience engaged from season to season. This paper gives readers a detailed history of how the show came to be as well as prediction as to where the show will and will not go in the future.

  • The Law & Economics of Survivor
    The Law & Economics of Survivor Kimberly A. Moore * Maxwell L. Stearns ** I really feel that I earned where I am. The first hour on the island I stepped into my strategy and thought, "I'm going to focus on how to establish an alliance with four people early on." I spent a lot of time thinking about who people are and why they interact the way they do. I wanted this to be planned and I wanted it to be based on what I needed to do to win the game. I don't feel I was diabolical. There were ethics in this game. There was morality and I think that is a big part of why I won.1 Richard Hatch, Survivor winner My advice for anybody who plays this game is form an alliance and stick with it.2 Rudy Boesch, Tagi alliance member In recent years, the ubiquitous body of literature falling under the general header of “rational choice” has come under fire.3 Assaults have mounted across a wide range of disciplines, including but not limited to law,4 psychology,5 and political science.6 Drawing upon economics and experimental psychology, a body of literature has emerged in which legal scholars and economists operationalize formal games under laboratory *Associate Professor, George Mason University School of Law. ©2000 Kimberly A.

  • Flourishing Forties Against Flaming Fifties: Is Reverse Age Discrimination Actionable Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act?
    Saint Louis University Law Journal Manuscript 1802 Flourishing Forties Against Flaming Fifties: Is Reverse Age Discrimination Actionable Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act? Elena Minkin Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.slu.edu/lj Part of the Law Commons SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW FLOURISHING FORTIES AGAINST FLAMING FIFTIES: IS REVERSE AGE DISCRIMINATION ACTIONABLE UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT?1 I. INTRODUCTION On February 5, 2001, twenty-eight-year-old Stacey Stillman, one of the castaways from the popular television series “Survivor,” filed a lawsuit claiming that the producer rigged the show by encouraging other cast members to vote her off the island.2 She further claimed that the producer’s motivation was to ensure that the only senior citizen left on the island—crusty seventy- two-year-old Rudy Boesch—would continue to participate in the show.3 Stillman’s claim was regarded as highly unusual, and it provoked joking commentary in newspapers and on television, as well as a lawsuit directed back at Stillman. It seemed preposterous at the time that a young and attractive woman could be discriminated against in favor of an old man, and have a viable claim. Now, in 2003, this idea does not appear as bizarre. Change the scenario a little: add just twelve years to Stillman’s age, presume there is no restrictive employment contract and that no charges of fraudulent interference with the show are involved—and voila!

PICK ME!: USING ARISTOTELIAN RHETORICAL PERSUASION AND ADVERTISING APPEALS FOR SELF-PROMOTION By: Alexander M.Jones A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements of the CSU Honors Program for Honors in the degree of Bachelor of Arts In English College of Letters and Sciences Columbus State University Abstract This project combines contemporary and classical rhetorical persuasion and applies them to self-promotion.

Appeals from advertising, such as humor, fear, music, and argumentum ad populum, represent the contemporary, but also are modern extensions of Aristotle’s triad. These concepts are then applied in such a way that the reader can see how they could use them to their benefit in influencing others. Each concept is defined and shown how it can be used in a spoken communicative way rather than a visual representation.
