Recommended: Importance of compassion essay

If I were to encounter a homeless person and that I knew that I had enough money to buy them a warm jacket and a meal. I would buy them one. The person is obviously in homeless and in dire need of help. If they didn’t need help they wouldn’t be in front of the store hoping that someone will help them out. I will not be helping the person for the sake that it’s the right event to do, nor it will help my ego, nor it’s my duty. I will help them, by the reason that I want to, considering if I were in the same situation I would want someone to do the same. Someone people may say, that they will not help them out, because according to “Arthur”, if anything is clear, however, it is that our code does not require such heroism (pg. 234). According to Arthur he says that we don’t have to help them out, it’s not our duty to help them out. We can if we want to, but it’s not required of us to help them. If you want to we can help them, but we don’t have to because it’s not our job. People go along with his idea that we don’t have to, we can if we feel like helping someone out; but it’s not necessary. But for myself, that is not the case, I will help them out. And since it’s not out of pity on the person, but it’s my interest that I would want someone to help out and help me attain to be back on my feet. At this book I am moving towards what an “ethical egoist” might say a person is under no obligation to do anything except what is in his own interest (pg. 57). I am doing this, for the reasons that it’s in my own interest and not because someone is forcing me, but because I want to make them feel better. And if they feel better, then I will feel better too.
Some people may argue that why happens to them. For all we know they could be on drugs...

...c of the homeless person that needs my help, I will help them out. Even though I may not have much, but I know that it will be a great help. I am also not saying that we have to give them part of our items. All I’m saying is that we should help them out with any small portion that we can, because anything can help. And that way you can say that you help a person out. I think the point here is not say that you did it because you have to, nor because it will boost your ego and don’t bloviate, because that won’t suit you. Do it because if you don’t do help them who will. Don’t be vitriolic and start giving whatever you can and I have a feeling that they will be happy with whatever you give them. And remember we are all the same and no one is superior to us, we are all the same, expect people act in a rococo matter and they think that they are far more superior to us.

    .... The homeless community is a growing problem that only worsens with time. If we don’t make an effort now, to help the most vulnerable among us, then we are only contributing to this problem. With our unsure economy, nothing is guaranteed, so just be considerate for others who are in an inferior situation, because who knows when you might need a hand.

    In the essay, “Move over Boys, Make Room in the Crease,” the author, Sarah Maratta, explains the bias against women’s involvement in sports.

    Although women in law enforcement has increased within the past 20-30 years, the struggle to be fully accepted and held to the same standard as a male continues, and this is mainly due to barriers such as the attitudes of male officers. Many policemen continue to express negative views of female officers such as the perception of being less physically capable, mentally and emotional feeble, and unable to earn the trust and respect of citizens. (Davis, 2005) There are many beliefs that because men have maintained the lead role in law enforcement, allowing more women to carry out the same duties demystifies the masculine persona that has always gone hand in hand with policing. There remains the stigma that males have always had the protective role, not a female, and this way of thinking continues to be difficult to deter from. On the other hand, although it is not fact, many police authorities would agree that policewomen are better empathizers and sympathizers in cases concerning women and children - - as mentioned before, and that they tend to approach situations with a unique perspective; bringing different ideas and virtues to the table. For example, most female officers who are petite in stature, know they are unable to stop a physical confrontation, so in order to prevent the occurrence of a fight, will resort to communication to calm the situation. Not to say that males do not have compassion, but there is the maternal quality about females that juveniles feel more comfortable talking to rather than a big scary guy in uniform. (Miller, 2012) In other ways, female officers receive more respect than a male officer might. Patrol Officer Denelle Craul, of East Pennsboro Police Department believes, “Men are taught to respec...

    People do not like to believe they are puppets on strings, as free will is more fun, exciting and empowering. But sadly it does not matter what people think, for their futures have already been decided. Especially if you are a hero, chances are, your destiny has already been made. As dramatic and mystical as it may sound, but fate overpowers free will. No matter what route one takes, and what type of extreme measure a person is willing to go through, if it is ones destiny to achieve something or lose something or do something, they will do it. However, free will does have a role to play.

    A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena. The observations are expected to provide insight into the workings of other organisms. When we study disease, development and genetics in biology, they need to be studied in vitro to see how these processes (i.e. pathways and signals) work. Studying these in humans could be considered unethical or unsafe, and very expensive. Model organisms provide insight that we can’t gain from lab equipment alone. What we learn in model organisms can be used to predict what would happen to other organisms. All organisms evolved from the same ancestors and pathways are the same across all different species. Model organisms are a small number of species that have been studied extensively. We extrapolate information from model organisms to understand developmental, biological and metabolic pathways conserved throughout evolution. A model organism is one that can be used to effectively conduct biological research. They are necessary so that researchers can conduct their experiments quickly and efficiently while producing accurate results. Model organisms tend to be simple, making it easier for researchers to change one element and analyze the effects of that change.

    When get involved in a class room as a teacher or a practitioner you will see many different instructional strategies that teachers may use. These strategies may change from teacher to teacher and grade level to grade level because not all strategies work for everyone. That is one that that Mrs. Franzmeier told me was that I need to find instructional strategies that work for me and for the way I teach. She told me that it is something that sitting in a classroom listening to a professor all day can teach you. She said that you need to be in the classroom getting hands on experience to gain the knowledge. During this time I saw three different instructional strategies used. She had the use of whole group instruction, co teaching, and cooperative learning.

    Interviews are used frequently in a variety of different professions. In order to gain information about clients and the problems they are dealing with, communication is necessary. In social work, interviews are a vital aspect to the planned change process. By sitting down and talking with clients, the social worker can learn key facts that otherwise wouldn’t be readily available in the client’s file. The purpose of interviews is to exchange information with the hopes of solving the client’s problem and promoting growth. Interviews also are useful in planning strategies or actions aimed at improving the quality of life for the client after their involvement with the social worker. So while there may be other ways for social workers to gather information, interviews are the easiest and most effective way to engage with their clients. Being able to self-reflect is a very crucial skill to have as a social worker. By being aware of one’s own thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs, the ability to help clients and empathize with them will increase. A process recording is one way for a social worker to be self-reflective. For me, it really helped me to watch and hear myself on video and pinpoint the places I need to improve on. By continuously self-reflecting, it will help me, as well as any social worker, advance my ability to work with clients. The interview process and self-reflection are two aspects of social work that are essential to the work they do.

Sometimes generosity requires pushing past a feeling of reluctance because people all instinctively want to keep good things for themselves, but once one is over this feeling, they will feel satisfaction in knowing that they have made a difference in someone else’s life. However, if one lives without generosity but is not selfish, they can still have pleasure from other virtues.

    I always see a homeless person. Whether on the streets, an alley or even the subway. You’ll always see one every time you visit. I get to help one homeless person one time while I was staying in the city for 3 days. It was 12:30 am and I was about to head back to the hotel, but I was thirsty, so I went to a convenience store near, when I saw a girl sitting outside a convenience store. She looks young, probably a young adult. I was thinking, maybe that girl hadn’t eaten anything, and if maybe I could grab her some food. I went inside the store, the only thing I need to buy is a bottle of water, but I ended up buying sandwiches, fruits and a two bottles of water. I took 1 bottle of water out and give the rest of the bag to her. She was smiling and said “thank you”. My response is “you’re welcome” and smiled back.

    Motivation is one of the biggest things when it comes to education today. Every student can be motivated one way or another to learn. Not all students are motivated the same so as an educator I need to keep that in mind. Motivation is important because it helps students become interested in what is going on in the class room and in the course work. When a student is motivated it also may have the student participate in more challenging opportunities and try to earn higher bench marks. Motivation I feel is one of the biggest things as an educator I can do for the students because if they are motivated they are trying at their full potential. Motivation can have some negative outcomes as well. Motivation can be a crutch for the student. What I mean by this is that the student may not want to do anything without a reason too. Or the student may not want to do anything without a reward. Personal beliefs with motivation interact by determining how you are going to motivate your students. Are you going to motivate them through bribing them? Or are you going to motivate them through making things in to a contest. So no matter how you motivate your students it can be a good thing to use if you use it correctly.
