supporting the concept of ontogenetic roots of altruism The best piece of evidence which can be used to demonstrate that people are born with compassion and kindness is that whenever they have opportunities for helping, infants tend to so, even without external rewards (Bloom). This fact has been proven empirically by scientists. Besides, the other two alternative reasons for altruism generally are compliance with social norms and imitation. These two alternatives can be eliminated because infants are not capable of internalizing value systems such as altruism. Also, infants who demonstrate prosocial behavior cannot be said to have imitated the same from adults because they have little interaction (Warneken and Tomasello 464). The best research method of generating evidence to support the concept of ontogenetic roots of altruism is the conducting of experiments. Experiments are the most effective way of collecting empirical evidence because they can test ideas. Scientists come up with a hypothesis regarding a particular concept and then proceed to experiment to ascertain their predictions. The form of an experiment that can be utilized to obtain empirical evidence from the…

speech given by Jeannie Alexander Alexander, Jeannie. One Book One Community, 13 September 2017, Caudill Hall Wemyss Auditorium, Gallatin, TN. Guest Lecture.   I attended a speech given by Jeannie Alexander, Head Chaplin at Riverbend Maximum Security. Alexander first talked about her background and what got her where she is today. She then talked about some of her experiences with the prisoners at the prison she currently works at now and she also provided statistics to back up her points. She claimed that the current prison system is not fair to the inmates and that they would never get out because of the truth-in-sentencing laws. Alexander included a video that had pictures of actual prisoners with quotes from them to make the audience feel bad for them.   Alexander has the credentials to be discussing the topic as she has seen the prison system first hand. The video she included seemed to be manipulative because it had sad music and sad pictures of the prisoners. It was intended to make someone feel bad for these people without including what the…

Patient Privacy Introduction The issue of patients’ privacy is taking a twist with the current breaches in the privacy rights for patients. Despite the rules set concerning the need for patient privacy, individuals are taking the risk of breaking the rules and thus research should be done to identify the reasons behind the vice. The Royal Hospital scandal is surrounded by misunderstandings on who was and was not wrong. It is not fair to conclude the attempt by the two Australian DJs was not a prank as initially claimed without gathering details on the same. Privacy protection is critical in protecting the careers and relationships of patients but should not be used as an excuse for breaching moral standards. Analysis The case would have been a strategy to get private information about Kate’s pregnancy. If indeed the incident was a prank as claimed, the individuals would not have opted for impersonation to hide their identities. Also, Kate would not have felt uncomfortable upon being told that it was a prank and therefore it implied that Kate did not like the…

The need for people whose only aim in life is to impact the lives of others necessitates the role of social work.
