Guardian mentality present in police officers. The Warrior mentality being among the officers who believe they should perform their job as the “Warrior” who fights against crime in the literal sense of violent approaches towards criminals while enforcing power. While the Guardian mentality pertains to those officers who believe in carrying out their job as the “Guardian” who not only protects the people, but refrains from the violent approaches of the Warrior. Thus, the main argument of this talk was to advocate for the Guardian approach of

The use of force, particularly with correlation to officer morale and/or inadequate education/training, has become particularly problematic. Measures should be taken to reduce the injury to suspects, particularly physical injury resulting from poor officer tactics or malicious intentions not related to upholding the law. These are problems, which, if properly handled and rectified, will result in improved officer morale, improved relationships with the public as well as ensure a continued upstanding reputation for the oldest police force in the nation.
The TED talk starts out with Jamie Oliver, a famous professional chef, stating “in the next 18 minutes four Americans that are now alive will be dead, from food that they eat”. Then he talks about how America is the number one country for obesity and that on average your children will live ten years less than you. Jamie then puts a graph on the screen showing the number one cause of death in 2005 and it was heart disease; Jamie goes on to say it is because of what we eat. Next, Jamie talks of when he went to the most unhealthy state in America which is West Virginia. He shows a picture of Britney who is 16 years old and has only six years to live because of the food she has eaten. Britney is the third generation that has not grown up in a food environment where she would have been taught to cook. Jamie presents pictures of young people who are obese and states obesity does not just hurt that person, it hurts the people around them

(Hook) Throughout our life, we have seen many citizens in the world survive a difficult time through the news, television, etc. What we do not understand is how these people survive and what makes them a survivor. (Background)Some survivors have to sacrifice a vital part of them, like in the story “Trapped”, by Aron Ralston, while others may have to risk going back to North Korea, such as in Hyeonseo Lee’s TED Talk, “My Escape from North Korea.” (Thesis) Three traits that can make a survivor are perseverance, tenacity, and determination.
Having no charge on your phone, having a bad hair day, failing a test, not having enough cats. These seem to be the major plights in our life. However, there are more extreme situations that can arise, and although we are unaccustomed to having to prepare for life and death situations, we should know what it takes to be a survivor. In in a TED Talk, Hyeonseo Lee recounts her harrowing journey fleeing from a famine ridden North Korea and trying to bring her family with her. In his autobiography, Aron Ralston narrates his story of how he survived in a remote canyon with his hand pinned beneath ½ ton of rock for 6 never-ending gruesome days. Additionally, Suzanne Collins tells a story of a girl, Katniss Everdeen, who has been picked to compete in a death match called
This Tedtalk was about expanding our perception, Brené Brown is a self proclaimed “researcher story-teller” and I’d say a very good storyteller at that. She began by telling a little about her type-A personality characteristics. And as a researcher of social work she was interested in connection because it is what gives her purpose and meaning. Connection is how she is wired, to live in connection with others. Over a decade of research her goal was to understand and outsmart shame, the fear of disconnection. Shame is something we all experience and ultimately “people don’t want to talk about it, if we talk about it less then it doesn’t exist” Brown explains. She goes on to explain shame boils down to a sense of worthiness versus people who struggle to love and feel they belong. At which point she focused her research on “whole-hearted” people to find the commonality
I participated in a police ride-along with the Fairfax County Police Department on October 30th. I chose the Fair Oaks District Station for the ride since my home falls within that particular district’s boundaries. At 8 p.m., I was introduced to Officer Crutchman; the police officer I would be accompanying for the night. We headed out after a brief overview of some safety rules and expectations. Over the course of the shift I was able to observe many of the routine duties of a FCPO such as responding to calls, setting speed traps, performing traffic stops, assisting fellow officers, and patrolling neighborhoods and public parks. Officer Crutchman provided valuable insight into police work, beyond the procedural knowledge that Mason classes
The feeling of not being the same as regular citizens and the learning that a police officer can depend just upon different officers in a snapshot of need encourages a conviction that all is good and word related solidarity known as the police subculture. The most vital fundamental normal for the law enforcement officers is to help their accomplices. In this manner, this standard can be strong to the point that many officers cannot envision affirming against different officers. “Many police officers need the full support of his or her partner to be able to handle situations, which contains very important decisions regarding illegal or semi-legal decisions.” (Doemer, p. 171, 2016). Furthermore, external loyalty can be remotely situated, internal,
American policing has evolved tremendously throughout the century, and each era carried its strengths and weaknesses. The American policing Era are as follow: Political Era: (1837-1910); Reform Era: (1910-1980); and Professional Era: 1980-present” (Perez & Moore, 2012, p. 26). We continue to strive to improve our police organization by continuously learn from our past and present mistakes. Due to the technological revolution, policing in the United States has evolved tremendously with advanced gadgets and software which helped make policing more effective and efficient.
When adults show disdain and distrust towards the police it starts to funnel down to the younger generations. In a recent documentary “Policing the police”, many community members were interviewed about the current police system, including an elementary school teacher. The students in her class who are children as young as seven, already claim to feel unsafe around police officers. These children have already been exposed to police violence, whether it be in their neighborhood or even in their own home (Cobb). The pillar sets out with the motto “To Protect and to Serve,” makes individuals and communities feel threatened and afraid, and instead of trusting and supporting them in their endeavors to keep citizens safe, they attempt to avoid the police presence entirely. However, the negative cogitation of the police does not come without reason. In “Deadly Force, In Black and White,” main author Ryan Gabrielson outlines the current
Social media has quickly emerged as a dominating force that is not only shaping culture and global trends, but influencing how others perceive the world by making it easier to access world news and public opinions. “The global media landscape in the first decade of the twenty-first century represents a complex terrain of multi-vocal, multimedia and multi-directional flows” (Thussu 376). Although social media has spurred many revolutions and brought together like-minded thinkers, it still proves to be a difficult terrain to navigate and even more difficult to harness its power for long-standing democracy. In the article "Social Media: Destroyer or Creator?" and Wael Ghonim’s TED talk, both the positive and the negative ramifications of social
Policing is a standout amongst the most imperative of the capacities attempted by the each sovereign government. For the state hardware, police is an inescapable organ, which would guarantee upkeep of peace, furthermore the principal join in the criminal equity framework. Then again, for normal man, police power is an image of savage power of power and in the meantime, the defender from wrongdoing. Police officers get a corporate character from the uniform they wear; the regular man recognizes, recognizes and wonderments him by virtue of the same uniform. The police frameworks over the world have created on a socio social foundation, and hence alone immense contrasts exist between these police frameworks.
The focus is on the issues of police accountability in modern society, and in particular why their accountability is more important than other professions. This is not surprising considering the amount of power and discretion police officers have, and the level of trust that the public holds with these civil servants. Police officers accountability is the biggest thing in their profession which has been an issue of concern they have to be accountable to the police department who want the officer to be an effective and responsible person, to people in the community who have best expectation from an officer and being accountable to themselves for their acts. An ordinary citizen of a country cannot obtain the powers that police officer’s have.
