Summary Of Agreeableness By Alex Rodriguez
4) One of Alex Rodriguez’s personality is “agreeableness.” People who has this personality are likely to get along with other people. As he said “I think my value for these kids is going to be taking them out to dinner, a three-hour dinner, and the first hour and a half recognizing that they’ll probably be pretty nervous and pretty tight, and by the second half of that dinner, they’ll start asking real substantial questions.”, he seems to make a good connection with others. Also, the article says he wants to be a parent and have a good time with his family. That also shows how trustworthy and kind he is. From another perspective, he has relatively high self-efficacy.

    Michael Ramirez’s cartoon illustrates how political issues take a back seat in the wake of natural disasters. The scene depicted shows two men up to there neck in water holding picket fence signs that are no longer fully visible due to the water. The men are standing on a street corner with one sign Houston Rd visible. The second street sign is being blocked by the first and underneath the two signs is a stop sign half covered in water.

    The Hebrew teachings starts from Proverbs 12:24 (NKJV) “The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy will be put to forced labor.” My dad had a saying “A lazy man always works twice as hard.” It probably started from this Proverb. The Hebrew taught that if you worked hard and diligently you will be blessed compared to being lazy who is forced to labor. Forced doesn’t generally mean in this example as to being enslaved by chains, but that you would have no other choice but to get your hands dirty and accomplish want needs to be done. In contrast to a hard working person who actually enjoys the task at hand and in the end sees the fruits of his or her labor. Psalms 128:2 (NKJV) “When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.” It was always instructed that being a diligent worker was something God always favored and blessed. From the very beginning when Adam and Eve were kicked out of Eden; Adam toiled the ground and was blessed by it. Unfortunately it was a curse for our sins, Genesis 3:17 (NKJV) “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.” but in the long run it became a blessing for our hard work. Proverbs 12:11 (NIV) “Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense.” We must work hard, be diligent, and be humble. In the end the Lord rewarded and condemned the good and faithful servant compared to the lazy servant. Mat 25:23 (NKJV) “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.” Mat 25:26 (NKJV) “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.” Jesus as well demonstrated…

    Alex Rodriguez is a 32 year old Miami native, and, having entered the workforce directly out of high school, currently holds down a job in New York City. Normally, at least for those entering the workforce right out of high school, attaining a good career is rather difficult. This is especially true considering that more and more employers are requiring prospective employees to attain at least a bachelor’s degree just to get into an interview room. However, Rodriguez, since the age of 18, has lived a rather comfortable lifestyle--- he never has had to worry about where is next meal is coming from, where to find shelter for himself and his family, nor has he had to rely on his monthly paycheck to sustain his family. What makes these facts even more interesting is Rodriguez’ work schedule--- he works only 7 months…

    Hank Aaron. He changes from hating that he was black to moving on and concentrating on baseball. The letters still hurt him but he learned to just play baseball and not to think about the bad fans or letters. By learning how to do that, he is able to play better baseball and he was able to make better records and make more money. And after black people were granted human rights and treated equally, he was a hero to the fans and the black people. He was a normal sized man that could use his wrists very well when hitting making him able to send balls very far and strong. He was very determined on hitting doubles, triples and homeruns instead of singles because he believed that total base hits was an important record. He impressed the scouts in any way. If the scout wanted to see him steal bases, he would steal bases. And if they were done looking at his batting and wanted to see amazing fielding that’s what he would show them. He was obviously good at baseball but lots of baseball fans and teams turned him down until he actually got the chance to play. He would go on the field and play just like he did in the Negro Leagues and impress the fans and manager. They say that if black people played earlier they could have made very good legends just like Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron.…

    What defines honesty and integrity? Is there a connection between these two words, and what does that imply? Stephen L. Carter, a law professor and writer, questions the common definitions of these words and the their moral interpretations in his essay, “The Insufficiency of Honesty”. In the essay, he makes several about the key differences between what “honesty” and “integrity” actually mean, and I agree with Carter that too often integrity is mistaken for honesty. He mentions that, “…acting in accordance with what you think is right and risking no loss in the process is a rather thin and unadmirable form of honesty”, and I concur that selfishness of that caliber lacks integrity by definition.…

    Baseball player Alex Rodriguez went from having a salary of twenty nine million to ending his career shortly, all because of the embarrassment of using Performance Enhancement Drugs (P.E.D.). He was caught using a banned substance and it cost him a season of baseball. Performance Enhancement Drugs are any type of drug that an athlete can take to increase the abilities or performance of themselves. The punishments for violating the Drug policy in sports should be intensified because of the damage done to the person, damage done to the game, and so the athlete can learn their lesson.…
