To combat this, officers are now receiving training to deal with being recorded.…

    Schopenhauer and Nietzsche on Compassion Many different interpretations of the word compassion exist. For me, compassion involves a deep feeling of sympathy and sorrow for another human being or animal who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a wish to help them. Although it is strongly related to altruism and empathy, compassion is something different - it is an immense feeling of ‘suffering’ together and then doing something about it. However, in the history of philosophy, compassion was often related to pity. Mariette Willemsen wrote that compassion is a “neutral term for a feeling that is often called pity in the English tradition [...] and Mitleid by German philosophers” (Schopenhauer and Nietzsche) (p.182).…

Quickly written and produced, the film is about retired cat-burglar John Robie, who after being framed for a ring of jewel thefts in the French Riviera, seeks to find the real culprit, while evading the police and the romantic advances of Francie Stevens, the daughter of a potential, wealthy theft victim. In its dramatic structure, Hayes’ screenplay emphasizes the dual nature of the story–as Robie seeks to “catch” the real thief in spite of receiving written threats not to, he must also evade Francie–who seeks to “catch” a romantic partner in Robie and can report him to the police.
