One of my assets is my self-awareness. As it is illustrated in the table above I scored a 60 out of a possible 66 in self-awareness, which indicates I have developed an ability to be a master of myself. I am very aware of the way in which others view me, and the way in which I project myself to others. I believe this is an important asset because being self-aware helps me to develop and maintain self-control. This is extremely important in my career since my company, Company, Inc., is a startup company with a fairly small number of employees. Since I am one of the first fifty employees to be hired in the company, I feel that I have a very strong understanding of the direction in which the company is going and sometimes feel that I should have a larger say in company decisions than I actually do based on my current position. In this regard my self-awareness helps me to have the self-control to be patient enough to trust my managers and leaders in the company to make the right decisions moving forward. I am able to determine when it is appropriate for me to interject and/or

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation and to thank you for supporting H.R. 6261.

An appeal is a process that assists someone who is being charged with a crime, also known as a defendant. An appeal gives the defendant the opportunity to use a higher court to over-turn a lower court’s decision. ”The appeals process is part of the system of “checks and balances” designed to ensure that defendants have received due process at ear- lier stages of the criminal justice process.” (The Courts in Our Criminal Justice System, Meyer & Grant, Pg. 465) An appeal is also a defendant’s way of challenging the court’s ruling. Appeals only take place after a criminal is found guilty and sentenced, if the appeal is successful the criminal will be released from incarceration

1. You recently retired from government contracting work and established a consulting company (fully consistent with government ethics laws and rules, of course) with the primary focus of advising potential government contractors and subcontractors. Mr. Johnny Jones, of The Johnny Jones Flooring and Construction Company has approached you with a question. Jones and his company are potential subcontractors (they, obviously, specialize in flooring) on a federal construction contract worth a little over two million dollars ($ 2,000,000.00) recently awarded to the Jimmy Smith Construction Company (Jimmy Smith, the prime contractor).

US 101 is all about readings, having discussion and research. When discussing readings there is no wrong or right answer. Everyone has different opinions and ideas they took away from the readings. The research papers tied in with the in class readings. Picking a topic that connected with a reading and arguing for or against the topic was the main part of the paper. Presenting about who you are started off the beginning of the semester. At the end of the semester we ended by presenting a research topic that we were passionate about. US 101 pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me a lot.

In very earlier research, the theory developed by Wicklund (1975, 1978, 1979) defines self-awareness mostly as one’s ability to self-observe. That person will base on certain standard or new information to judge his own behavior (as cited in

I am well rounded, independent, and unique. I believe that being well rounded means that you are not just one way or another. It means you have a little bit of every thing. I think that independent means for a person to be out on their own in life. It means to be able to take care of them selves in life, along with other people. I am independent not interdependent.

Interdependent means you get help from others or depend on other to do things for you. I think that self serving bias is some thing
