Abstract

Introduction Nursing practice recognizes altruism through various interventions such as understanding different beliefs and cultures, advocating for vulnerable patients, taking risks on behalf of other workers and patients and mentoring other professionals. In altruism, interpersonal factors such as respect and compassion are considered virtues that cultivate a caring attitude towards others.

Introduction

INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION ON POLICE BEHAVIOR

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Police Behavior There is a theory that declares ‘if you do not love what you are doing when you go to work every day you are wasting your time’. While there are people who go to work just to make ends meet fulfilling the base of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Jancewicz, 2016), those who work in the law enforcement portion of the public sector are often drawn by a need to “protect and serve” (Jancewicz, 2016). While the very nature of what they do sets law enforcement apart from the private sector, ...

In most cases, it has been women who have become victims of IPV over the years. However, in recent times, the tide has changed, and men too have been placed on the receiving end of IPV (Rolling & Brosi, 2009). Causes of IPV are many and range from individual factors to societal factors. ...

Alexander argues that black Americans who face mass incarceration through the war on drugs do not feel the gains of the civil rights movement. She equates this to the new Jim Crow era since the old Jim Crow era is long gone even if its principles live on. The old Jim Crow laws placed the African American in subordinate status, which manifests in modern day justice system (Alexander, 2010 p.21). She uses this analogy to analyze various issues facing African Americans and proves that racial segregation and class segmentation exists.

In the 1976 publication of Computer Science as Empirical Inquiry, Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon present the physical symbol system as a means of perfecting artificial intelligence and bringing it as close to human intelligence as possible. According to the authors, because physical symbol systems “are capable of intelligent action,” then all general intelligent action[s] that humans are capable of must engage a physical symbol system (Newell and Simon 118). Subsequently, just as biologists understand the cell as the basic unit in living organisms, symbols make up the “roots of intelligent action” (Newell and Simon 119). For ...
