We receive message from other people like parents, teachers, friends, peers etc about who we should be whether they be good, bad or negative. A person believes that these are true and believe that this is their true identity and self…
Being the best you can be can be expressed in countless aspects. As American citizens, we have the privilege of representing our country. We can learn skills and tools to make decisions that better ourselves and those around us. Some may choose to do this though getting an education;…
The novel "A lesson before dying" by Ernest Gaines, exemplifies that the most significant lesson to learn before dying is that you are worth something no matter what society deems you to be, and as long as you show your humanity and dignity, it does not matter what society thinks. We see this through the thoughts, actions, words, and experiences of the characters in the novel. We mostly see this through Jefferson, Reverend Ambrose, and Miss Emma. Sometimes we doubt our worth for many different reasons and at different times, but as long as we can learn our worth before we die, all will be…
What is a lesson? A lesson means an experience, especially an unpleasant one that somebody can learn from, so it does not happen again in the future. And everyone probably had a lesson of some sort before. For me, I have had many lessons throughout my life already, from small things, like you should always bring an umbrella with you to school, never run with your wallet in your pocket, to something big like studying hard before a test. And these mistakes probably changed my life in ways.…
Ones parents and teachers usually try to teach one something one doesn’t want to know. One should listen next time for it might an important lesson. Like ones parents or teachers, the adults in the novel To Kill A Mockingbird try to teach Scout/one that may be important. One lesson learned is to face ones problems. Another is to respect everyone no matter how they differ. A lesson taught is to stand up for what one believes in. Therefore, lessons learned from childhood experiences help children make more mature decisions later.…
In order to have a high self-esteem and be happy, people need to establish what self is. Everyone has self-esteem according to Twenge. Since childhood, people are told to “just be themselves,” so that others can accept us for who we really are. Even though being true to oneself personality wise, people act differently, depending on the situation at hand. One does not usually act the same way in school as they do in a home setting. One does not talk the same way to a friend as they do to a teacher. It is all dependent on what the situation calls for. Twenge says that when wanting to know how to act in a social situation, one should “just be themselves” (Twenge 491). With this being said, a person with high self-esteem will have the confidence to be themselves because they value who they are, while a person with low self-esteem will find it hard to be themselves because they will think that people will not like them for who they are. Therefore, a front is put up and people act differently when interacting…
It is important for us to be true to ourselves and follow our own instincts. An advantage of being true to ourselves is that people will see the real us, perhaps for the first time, without a mask. People will see what we are truly like on the inside and outside. If we open up and be true to ourselves, people will see what we excel at or fail out; they will see our imperfections and talents. We just have to decide what is more important, conformity or being true to ourselves. If we decide not to conform to certain groups, we may discover things about ourselves that we did not already…
In thinking about what I would like to communicate with you all this week the charter trite of the month RESPECT keep coming back to me over and over again. As adults we know how we define respect and how we would like it displayed to us and why it is important to us. For example, my definition of respect is; Think good things about who a person is or how they act based on there deeds, character and how they conduct their lives everyday even when no one else is looking. I also know how I would like respect shown to me; I would hope that people that respect me would show me respect to me in a way that shows me that they care about my feelings and well-being. For me showing respect for others include things like not calling people mean names,…
Respect has great importance in everyday life. As children we are taught to respect our parents, teachers, and elders, family and cultural traditions, other people's feelings, our country's flag and leaders. And we do tend to value these things; when we grow older, we may shake our heads at people who seem not to have learned to respect them. We develop the tendency to respect only those who are popular. We may also come to believe that, at some level, all people are worthy of respect. We may learn that jobs and relationships become unbearable if we receive no respect in them. Calls to respect certain things are increasingly part of public life: environmentalists exhort us to respect nature, foes of abortion and capital punishment insist on respect for human life, members of racial and ethnic minorities and those discriminated against because of their gender, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs, or economic status demand respect both as social and moral equals and for their cultural differences. We may learn both that our lives together go better when we respect the things that deserve to be respected and that we should respect some things independently of considerations of how our lives would go.…
Its easier said than done, being completely myself I mean. The world expects me to be myself and to not bother worrying about what others think, but at the same time they want to judge me for every single thing I do. I will never feel like I can dress exactly the way I want, act the way I want, or be the way I want without someone having something negative to say about it. That’s the way society is and I have to either be myself or drive myself crazy trying to be perfect. I envy the girls that can be themselves without being concerned with what someone else is going to think, because I can’t put on an outfit in the morning without that crossing my mind.…
Being respectful to people can go a long way. Just by not being rude and being respectful can go a long way. Be respectful to your parents for all they have done for you and the little they ask for back. Be respectful to cops for what they do for you also. They have to deal with people who need to be off the street all day long and then we don't have to worry about them being on the streets. Even if they pull you over and you get upset but they are just doing their jobs just like you and they have to make a living just like everyone else. They are also just trying to keep you safe and keep others safe as well. We need to have to be respectful to truck drivers also for what they do for us. They might be a truck driver but a lot of people complain…
One of my favorite Who We Are Values is respect. Respect to me is the unspoken way of showing someone you appreciate their values as a person regardless of their physical appearance, ethnicity, age, economic status, religious or political belief. It means acknowledging and valuing others’ point of view even if they are different from yours and you don’t have to necessarily agree with them. Respect is a basic moral value of human beings, and having respect in such a diverse workplace like Wegmans is very important because it creates such positive, supportive, and productive work environment. For me, coming to work and greeting everyone I meet with a smile, whether to my managers, coworkers, other Wegmans employees, or customers, is a simple way of showing them my respect by acknowledging their present.…
Sometimes it bothers me I can’ be myself well it always does but I’d rather portray myself than deal with something I don’t think I’m capable of handling mentally just yet in everyday life. I know many may disagree with how I sometimes handle it but those people simply can’t relate or understand. Some days I’m confident in myself and decide to be myself and not let what people say get to me. When I wake up with that attitude I realized being myself is way more important that worrying about what others have to say. Then there’s other days where if I want to be myself I simply won’t place myself or enter the negative environment that only consists of negative energy. Then in certain situations I’m forced not to be myself. I’d get comments similar to “you’re not going anywhere with me dressed like that”. Comments like those make me feel as if I’m not accept by that person or I’m not living up to their expectations. I don’t believe those people realize how much those comments and remarks actually affect me because I don’t tend to show my emotions and I simply shrug it…
In examining the religious teachings about the values of human life using religious teachings it is easy� to see that God thinks all human life equal regardless of race�, gender or disability and encourages all his 'sheep' (followers of his, who he regards not as servants but as friends) to do so as well. This is proven in 1st Corinthians 7 18- 20 where it is said, 'Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts. Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.', the passage suggests that God cares not about the outward appearance or position of his followers but their obedience to his command, regardless of what life they have lived or what they were before, it also supports the fact that God was willing to take converts and so did not make distinctions between the human race or bear prejudice to those who were previously not his followers and had converted.…
Self respect goes along with self esteem. The way you see yourself means everything in order to build strong character. If you don’t see yourself in a positive light then you don’t really have respect for yourself. Many people seek attention in negative ways because they have a low self esteem. When people do this they are not respecting themselves and they are allowing people to walk all over them. For instance, girls who have poor self esteem look for attention anyway they can. An example of how they would do this is by sleeping around with numerous guys that shows them the slightest bit of interest. They do this to make them feel loved and wanted but in reality it creates a bad name for them. Inevitably this has a bad effect causing them to feel even worse than before. So in the end you should always value yourself and be confident about whom you are because that’s what really makes someone have self respect.…
