Altruism

[edit source]

Hi,

Perhaps you might benefit from looking at altruism and its relationship to kindness. This source looks at the Kitty Genovese case to elaborate on helping behaviour and altruism as a motivator for kindness. Hope this helps :)

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a reasonably good presentation
  1. An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. The font sizes are very small and somewhat difficult to read on this background. Consider ways to improve readability.
  2. Briefly explain why this topic is important
  3. Brief focus questions are presented
  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little
  4. Isn't the wallet scenario an example of kindness rather than gratitude?
  5. The presentation is well structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion)
  6. The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological theory
  7. The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological research
  8. Check and correct grammar (e.g., that vs who)

  11. The presentation provides easy to understand information
  1. A Conclusion is presented with useful take-home message(s)
  1. The presentation uses narrated audio
  2. The audio is hard to follow because so much content is presented so quickly
  3. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point
  4. Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement
  5. Audio recording quality was excellent
  1. Overall, visual display quality is good
  2. The presentation makes good use of text and image based slides
  3. Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read
  4. Consider using a sans-serif typeface to make the text easier to read
  5. The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time
  6. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images and/or diagrams

Overall

    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    2. Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2]
    3. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
  2. Layout
    1. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
      1. Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.[3]
      2. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    2. Check and correct use of that vs. who
    3. Check and make correct use of commas]
    4. Abbreviations
      1. Only use abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e., et al., etc.) inside parentheses

      3. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation)

      3. Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  1. Good use of learning features
  2. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example.
