- 131: Community Policing: The New Policing Concept!
- ... concepts about them. Although traditional policing is what most communities have, community policing is the new trend and has many concepts that are overall better that the traditional policing method. Community Policing is a new philosophy of policing based on the concept that police officers and private citizens working together in creative ways can help solve community problems related to crime, fear of crime, social and physical disorder, and neighborhood decay. The philosophy is predicted on the belief that achieving these goals requires that police departments develop a new relationship with the law-abiding people in the community, allowing them a greater voice in setting local police priorities and involving them in efforts to improve the overall quality of life in their neighborhoods. It shifts the focus of police work from handling random calls to solving community problems. The Community Policing philosophy is expressed in a new organizational strategy that allows police departments to put theory into practice. This requires freeing some patrol officers from the isolation of the patrol car and the constant demands of ...
- 132: Cisc And Risc Processor Technologies
- ... implementing these tow technologies. CISC technology was not known as a processor technology back in time. It was just the way that manufactures designed processors. So the Term CISC was define just when the RISC philosophy was adopted. In the mid-1970’s advances in technology began to reduce the difference in speed between main memory and processor chips. As memory speed increased, and high level languages displaces assembly language the ... ways computer performance could be optimized beyond just making faster hardware. That is when RISC technology started to emergence. 3. CISC Technology CISC as defined by [WISCISC1] stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer, is a philosophy for designing chips that are easy to program and which make efficient use of memory. Each instruction in a CISC instruction set might perform a series of operations inside the processor. This reduces the number ... to implement a given program, and allows the programmer to learn a small but flexible set of instructions. Since the earliest machines were programmed in assembly language and memory was slow and expensive, the CISC philosophy made sense, and was commonly implemented in large computer systems. Most common microprocessor designs including the Intel 80x86 and Motorola 68K series also follow the CISC philosophy. As we shall see, recent changes in ...
- 133: Existentialism in the Early 19th Century
- ... of the 20th-century German philosopher Martin Heidegger; anxiety leads to the individual's confrontation with nothingness and with the impossibility of finding ultimate justification for the choices he or she must make. In the philosophy of Sartre, the word nausea is used for the individual's recognition of the pure contingency of the universe, and the word anguish is used for the recognition of the total freedom of choice that ... first to anticipate the major concerns of modern existentialism was the 17th-century French philosopher Blaise Pascal. Pascal rejected the rigorous rationalism of his contemporary René Descartes, asserting, in his Pensées (1670), that a systematic philosophy that presumes to explain God and humanity is a form of pride. Like later existentialist writers, he saw human life in terms of paradoxes: The human self, which combines mind and body, is itself a ... proclaimed the “death of God” and went on to reject the entire Judeo-Christian moral tradition in favor of a heroic pagan ideal. Heidegger Heidegger, like Pascal and Kierkegaard, reacted against an attempt to put philosophy on a conclusive rationalistic basis—in this case the phenomenology of the 20th-century German philosopher Edmund Husserl. Heidegger argued that humanity finds itself in an incomprehensible, indifferent world. Human beings can never hope ...
- 134: Morality
- Morality Moral philosophy is very important to the success of an individual. But, before I tell you why moral philosophy is so important, and how it has helped me in my life, let me give you a little background knowledge. Rational knowledge has two components. These components are material and formal. Formal knowledge is not ... play tomorrow and maybe win then. Moral law is universal. It is not created by anyone, it just exists. Also, moral law is a priori, or in other words, it exists before empirical law. Moral philosophy is very valuable to everyone's life. Morals are proper for everyone, and since they are based on metaphysics, and metaphysics transcends differences, they are also cross cultural. Moral law has helped me be ...
- 135: John Locke 3
- ... wealthy and influential people. These influential visitors would challenge Locke's mind and have him express is feelings on certain topics at a very young age. This I believe helped Locke in his future in philosophy and his writings. In the fall of 1647 John was admitted to a tough course of studies under the school's headmaster, Dr. Richmond Busby. This was Locke's first enrollment at a school away ... in February of 1656 and continued his residency at Oxford University for his masters degree. His further studies were in the field of Aristotelian Logic, language, and Metaphysics. His program included history, astronomy, and natural philosophy. Education was very important to Locke. He was very determined in his school work through out his life. If he couldn't understand something in school, He tried very hard to understand it. Locke's early contact with experimental science helped form his attitudes toward his questions of philosophy, politics, medicine, education, and religion. Locke attend medical lectures on a regular basis and became a student of Robert Boyle who is the "father of modern chemistry." Holland provided him with a lot of ...
- 136: Pygmalion
- Higgins' Philosophy Professor Higgins is seen throughout Pygmalion as a very rude man. While one may expect a well educated man, such as Higgins, to be a gentleman, he is far from it. Higgins believes that how ... presents this theory to Eliza, in hope of justifying his treatment of her. This theory would be fine IF Higgins himself lived by it. Henry Higgins, however, lives by a variety of variations of this philosophy. It is easily seen how Higgins follows this theory. He is consistently rude towards Eliza, Mrs. Pearce, and his mother. His manner is the same to each of them, in accordance to his philosophy. However the Higgins we see at the parties and in good times with Pickering is well mannered. This apparent discrepancy between Higgins' actions and his word, may not exist, depending on the interpretation of ...

- ... the boycott proved that There is a new Negro in the south with a sense of dignity and destiny. The boycott was a great success. Nonviolence was the main focus that propelled King s basic philosophy on blacks gaining equal rights. King developed his philosophy of nonviolence for specific reasons. It is a natural response for human beings to defend themselves if they are physically attacked. So did he develop a philosophy that would appease White America? Analyzing his philosophy I feel that this might calm or please White America but, was it right for the Black Community? Should African Americans have to beg and plead ...

- 139: Enlightenment 2
- ... and the clergy. A number of European monarchs also adopted certain of the ideas or at least the vocabulary of the Enlightenment. James the 1st 1603, William of orange 1688 Rationalism (Latin ratio, “reason”), in philosophy, a system of thought that emphasizes the role of reason in obtaining knowledge, in contrast to empiricism, which emphasizes the role of experience, especially sense perception. Rationalism has appeared in some form in nearly every stage of Western philosophy, but it is primarily identified with the tradition stemming from the 17th-century French philosopher and scientist René Descartes. Descartes believed that geometry represented the ideal for all sciences and philosophy. He held that by means of reason alone, certain universal, self-evident truths could be discovered, from which the remaining content of philosophy and the sciences could be deductively derived. He assumed that these ...
- 140: The Philosophical Foundations
- ... an Arnold Schwarzenegger character is a hero but that Howard Roark or Ayn Rand are not. Sadly, this is a common perception in our culture. The philosophical causes are instructive. The Platonic-Christian tradition in philosophy trumpets two claims: 1) that man is a being severed into two parts, that his body belongs to this dimension of reality and his consciousness to a higher, spiritual realm--and 2) the logical consequence ... life on earth. Man's life requires the achievement of values: he must build his houses, grow his food, develop the medicines that cure the diseases which afflict him, and discover the principles in logic, philosophy, science, that make possible all these accomplishments and more. The achievement of values is not guaranteed, automatic or effortless. Struggle, i.e. the act of strongly-motivated striving, the pursuit of goals involving great exertion ... man who creates values is the primary hero; the man who defends the creator from evil is a hero because the creator has made human life possible. This distinction must be made because of irrational philosophy dominating the culture. Nevertheless, in fact, both the industrialist who creates a new product and the police officer who rescues him from kidnappers are heroes--and for the same reason: the actions of both ...
