“Truthfulness is being honest…keeping promises, and being loyal so people can trust you (www.charactercounts.chaves.nm.us).” As a human being it would be difficult to have friends and a profession when truth is a problem. Being truthful and trustworthy go hand in hand, trustworthy people must be truthful or honest. “Trustworthiness is a key to building healthy friendships.

It only takes one mistake to damage a trustworthy reputation, and trust is a very difficult thing to regain once it has been lost (www.dancingdrum.com).” Secondly, respect is a trait that I’m constantly striving to
This is known as the “Character Ethic”. In the long term, it is easier to be motivated by such principles of integrity and goodness. Your character should not be based on a false public image, hypocritical attitudes and behaviors, or superficial techniques for human interaction/manipulation. That would be known as the “Personality Ethic”. If your principles were based solely on the “Personality Ethic”, you may achieve short-term success, but people will eventually see through your dishonest motives and cease to trust you.
Due to the lack of character in some people can cause punishment to others around them. Such as if people don’t pick up after themselves other people will have to do it for them. Or if someone hurts another person there has to be someone to heal them. Those other people that actually pick up after them selves and others, as well as the people who help others when someone has hurt them know true character. First off the character trait I excel at in chemistry is caring.
Telling the truth to somebody, a person, a group, co-workers or anybody can backfire in the persons face. A lot of people say they want to hear the truth but not everybody can handle the truth. This affects the people actually speaking the truth, there so nervous to tell it that when it does come out they hope for good reactions and a positive outlook. The last thing the person wants is to be bashed by the person, a lot people think that the person it effects is hurting the most but actually the person telling the truth goes through more. They go through the feeling of “why did I say it?” and they shouldn’t feel like that, they should be happy that they don’t have to lie or cover anything up anymore.
Vanity is the building up of oneself, boosting the ego and confidence, in order to make one feel more important. In the grand scheme of things, the role of one average human being compared to that of the higher ranking beings may seem a trivial matter. It may make one feel small, depressed, and useless. By being vain, it gives one a feeling of purpose, a love of how one is. Vanity and self-delusion provide a means of protection from the despair that lurks throughout ones life.

The documentary states that “up until 1970, U.S. schools were the best until President Nixon visited China which gave birth to global education competition” (Waiting for Superman). Since then “the U.S. ranks 25th of 30 among industrialized nations in math and 21st in science” (Waiting for superman) but the most humorous of the rankings is that “the U.S. ranks 1st of 30 in self-esteem” (Waiting for Superman). The cost of sending students too school grew from “four-thousand in 1971 to nine-thousand today, but the reading scores stayed the same. The documentary features two educators who try to create a system that will create higher success ratings in the public school system.
Receiving a good education is great, but enhancing yourself and growing as a person is just as important. Some teachers and professors discuss their own experiences and lessons, which they have encountered. These lessons could impact the student and educate them as well. As high school or college level students, many efforts are required to successfully achieve certain goals. One common goal shared by many high school and college students is to achieve good grades.
The abused often has such low self esteem they feel like it is not worth it to leave. Maybe they think that no one actually cares. I feel like it can really important to hold yourself high because of examples like that. People often follow one of two different behaviors and attitudes when acting socially with other people. High self-monitors can be more socially accepting.
For decades, most people have been led to believe that public schooling is a good thing, and is in the best interest of children. But it’s time to face the facts – public schooling is not the best that Americans could be doing for their children and their families as a whole. Though the numbers for specific states vary, it is said that on average, school districts spend about $10,591 for every individual student in public schools, per year. Catholic and other religious private schools are, on average, $6,000 to $7,000 dollars per year. The education children receive in private schools is far superior to public schools, and per capita, the price is technically cheaper.
The Prince’s authority was more effective than Beowulf, due to the nature of morality, or lack thereof, necessary to be a prosperous leader and his judgment was directly affected by the environment and size of the community. In Beowulf, morality and ethics play a central role in how the community behaves. The golden rule “Treat others as you wish to be treated” is displayed by the people. Generosity, loyalty, respect and your word are what make an excellent leader, according to Beowulf. The king is generous to those that support him and
