One being the totality of circumstance approach which states that all facts and circumstances in the given situation should be looked at in each case individually, meaning that the whole picture needs to be examined in order to determine if there is probable cause to enter someone’s property for searches and seizures; the other approach being the Aguilar-Spinelli two pronged test, which was developed in Aguilar v. Texas and Spinelli v. United States and the two requirements were that, “The magistrate must be informed of the reasons to support the conclusion that such an informant is…

Admittedly that indeed sounds like me, but it was not until I did further research that I was finally sold on that the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator is accurate. The first letter represents where I get my primary source of energy. My primary source of energy is E, which stands for extroversion. Minh Tan wrote a profile of ENFJ which went through every aspect of the personality traits to career choices. Tan referred to the ENFJs as the Teachers/Givers and wrote, “As an ENFJ, you’re primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system.”…
Theoretical construct Based upon analysis of previous research, it is evident that research into compassion is less prevalent than compassion fatigue (Kagen, 2014). According to Gilbert (2005), compassion can be divided into two parts: 1) a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune and 2) a strong desire to help stop the suffering. The desire to help stop the suffering is what separates compassion from empathy. A plethora of research has identified that compassion is reduced when a person is continuously exposed to compassion inducing stimuli, known as compassion fatigue (Conrada & Kellar-Guentherb, 2006).…

This process of adding a point to either the left or right side depending on gender is based on typical answers for male or female; however, each possible letter 's should be tested in case the subject is in transition.…
In the research article (Salvatore & Shelton, 2007) the effect on cognitive processing by encountering prejudice is being studied. The research that has been done before hand by the authors shows us that even though it is very unlikely that someone would experience obvious prejudice, but many people that belong to minority groups experience prejudice that is implied in different ways that occurs daily. As we know contemporary forms for prejudice are often ambiguous, people that are effected by prejudice may experience cognitive deficiency (Salvatore & Shelton, 2007). There are many theories that state people that are associated with troubled groups have precise strategies for dealing with blatant forms of prejudice. Included in these strategies…

Having never taken the DISC assessment before, I was unsure about what to expect. I thought it was fairly accurate in many ways, but I felt that it very much tapped into what I consider my “work” self and did not cover much of who I am outside of that. I scored a high average score on the D spectrum. This seemed accurate, as I am relatively competitive overall, I like looking at the big-picture, I don’t mind taking risks, I can be critical of those that don’t measure up to my standards and I am very interested in new and innovative things.…
