The principle of utility also advocates that, the correctness or incorrectness of a deed is dependent on the ability for the action to lead to joy or sadness. If an action aims at supporting pleasure and preventing pain, then it rhymes to this principle, and it is morally right. On the contrary, if it does not aim at promoting happiness or preventing pain, then it does not match to the principle of utility, and it is morally incorrect. This principle is argued to be the morally correct principle of deeds at all situations. The principle of utility continually states that morally right actions produce happiness for all the affected people whose concerns are involved in the picture.
The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) was created to help measure the needs for power, intimacy, and achievement in regards to motivation. The motivational view I agree with the least is the psychoanalytic view. “The psychoanalytic view of human motivation suggests that behavior is ultimately determined by unconscious sexual and aggressive drives and by the complex intrapsychic conflicts that arise in daily life.” (Pinel, J.P.J. 2008. p. 299). Freud had some beliefs that I believe have been outdated and further researched since his time.
As human beings we ought to help each other out to succeed in our own destiny. “Even people who claim no entitlements to happiness would likely be in favor of reducing human suffering in the world”(Falikowski, Egoistic Versus Altruistic Utilitarianism, 2005). We must take a look into what the morality of this issue to understand why it is right or wrong. We can refer to Jeremy Bentham’s view on Utilitarianism when discussing this topic. The principle of utility states that the quality of life matters when it comes to pleasure, and if we were to make the quality of a person’s life better, we must be useful and relieve that person from pain and suffering.
moving from catastrophising (no one will ever like me) to a more rational interpretation (my friend was probably thinking about something else and didn’t see me). This in turn helps the patient to feel better, and eventually become more self-accepting. Another part of RET is unconditional positive regard which is basically making the patient feel valued as a human no matter what they say or do or event how they
Whenever pleasure is present, as long as it is there, there is neither pain of body nor of mind, nor both at once. I have to disagree with this statement. Epicurus seems to see pleasure and painful as something too much interrelated or I could say it seems like a negative relationship, because in reality it is not always has to be this way. We could feel both pleasure and painful at the same time. I do think we should take a look on how we measure the pleasure and the painful itself.
It is important to keep her comfortable, but it is also important to give only enough medication to do so. Morphine could knock out her respiratory drive if she was given too much. It is also wrong to let her suffer in pain, so there is a fine line of pain management. Repositioning the patient and trying other means of pain relief, besides medication, would be beneficial with this geriatric patient. Comforting words and decreasing anxiety could reduce pain and fear.
This implies that an act is right if it minimizes violation of a certain moral right thus no one should violate moral rights for happiness sake and be justified. But consequentialism assumes that an act can only be right if its absolute outcome is the best. This implies that an act is only right if the outcome minimizes pain and maximizes happiness. Consequentialists and Utilitarianism consider distribution differently. Utilitarians believe that fairness is a better approach but consequentialists assume that the overall amount of good matters even if only a
I chose to contrast Erikson’s theory and the selective optimization with compensation theory. In Erikson’s theory he states that the final stage of psychosocial development theory is Integrity Versus Despair. Acceptance is relevant to achieve Integrity. Whether the outcome is good or bad, successful or disappointing, having good friends or bad friends; we should accept life as it is without being bitter or angry. With Despair, you regret your past decisions, you’re angry with the course of your life, and you feel that your time for achieving your “wanted” life is running short.
An activity done by extrinsic motivation may not be done because a person enjoys it, it’s often done because they want the end outcome. Working out is a great example, the result of looking better is extrinsic motivation, and the working out is not done because they like how they feel when they workout. Amotivation is the lack of motivation or drive to do something (McDavid, Cox, & Amorose, 2012). Amotivation is when someone does like doing something and feels there is no need to do that
It seeks to generate repeated, involuntary twitching from the suspect muscle or muscle group and usually leads to an immediate reduction of the tightness as well as a reduction or elimination of the related problems. Whether the trigger points are caused by new or old injuries, improper or overtraining, incorrect posture or body mechanics, or just life, trigger point acupuncture returns the natural balance to your muscles. It is one of the safest ways to address physical problems and usually involves only some short-term muscular soreness caused by the involuntary twitching. The soreness is similar to post workout soreness
