Independence can be taken in more than one way. It can be viewed as being an individual free from influence of others, or socially intrinsic and introverted. Both of these definitions are me. I 've spent many years of my life worrying about how others view me. But, I can happily say that where I 'm at in my life right now, the obsession has diminished. Sometimes my mom mistakes this for a lack of care and indifference, but it has made me who I am today. As far as social interactions go, I do find myself becoming tired when constantly forced to be extroverted. Over the summer I went on a two-week trip with my neighbors to The Gulf of Mexico for fishing and scalloping. Towards the end of the trip, I found myself becoming snippy towards …show more content…
However, it is something I have always struggled with the idea of not having. I guess in a sense, security could be a synonym for stability in my case, but there are a few differentiating factors. Security gives me an ease of mind, and without it, my anxieties run wild. To be frank, I have a fear of relationships. Over the years, I have come to the conclusion that the major factor in this is the lack of security. The idea that one day my boyfriend or husband could wake up and no longer want to be with me, is terrifying. I understand that that is what love is all about, but the fact that there is no security with relationships is the reason I essentially run away from them. Stupid, I know. This is me though. Being fresh out of high school, straight honesty is not something I 'm extremely well-versed in. However, it is exceptionally important to me. Now that I can take a step back and look at all the drama and fake people that I associated with in high school, I have a greater admiration for being frank. I 've grown to be, excuse the language, a no bullshit person. If someone doesn 't like me or has a problem with me I 'd rather than say it to my face than talk behind my back. This also applies to my workplace, if I 'm doing something wrong, I want someone to tell me. I cannot fathom why people feel the need to lie others, it is inexcusable in my opinion. Five years from now I will be two years finished with
It is actually very hard to be completely honest all the time and in every situation. But I believe that being honest can be very rewarding in the end because you are not deceiving others or yourself which is beneficial to you and society.
Colonists throughout the colonies went into a period of opposing their motherland, England. The main victims blamed for the colonists views of opposition was King George III and the British Parliament. Both advocated legislation that would affect the colonists to a point of revolution. The legislation supported the main reason for independence, but other factors play a role as well. Aside from the economic grievances, factors like political philosophy, propaganda, and social rank drove the colonists to independence from Great Britain.
The northern regions tended to have more religious beliefs. The southern regions tended believe in a church and state separation. According to "The Articles of Agreement, Springfield, Massachusetts in 1636" (Doc D), whoever entered Massachusetts had to comply with the certain articles and orders that shaped a community around God and the share of the land. The “Articles of Agreement, Springfield, Massachusetts, 1636’’ is valid document because it was basic laws. As a result of “The Articles of Agreement Springfield, Massachusetts, 1636’’, the northern region became more religiously involved with society, causing the one region to split into two. Because Virginia was becoming more of an economical region such as its tobacco farming, it
Although Argentina and Colorado are very similar, they are different in two major ways. Their acceptance of others and language. Argentina fiercely tries to be European. This is often at the expense of indigenous and minority cultures. Argentines for example, pride themselves on being white.
Vanity vs. Honesty In today’s society, people tend to base most of their life on vanity. Too many people think that if they aren’t constantly impressing someone, then they become less of a person. People basing their lives around vanity is nothing new, this has been happening since the beginning of humankind.

Someone once stated,” Tell me the cold truth, but don’t paint me a pretty lie.” As we walk our journey of life, we come to understand that the truth is harsh and yields to no one;moreover, the lie’s hurt increases as it grows. Honesty is important in all situations because eventually the truth shows and people base how they connect you in their life by your honesty or lies.
heard my parents say many times growing up that “ you are as good as your word” and the older i have gotten the more I see how true that saying is. If you are honest that shows others that you meet in your life that you can be trusted. Thomas Jefferson stated that "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” Meaning that is one of the first traits out of a personality perspective, to have.
Once people know that a person habitually lies, they do not take that person as seriously. Being honest demonstrates self-respect and respect for others. Honesty is appealing and engaging to others. Honesty also sets a good example for people who look up to that person. People will become closer and have faith in an authentic person. An honest person invites authentic and real friendships. Imagine if a friend overhears a lie told by another peer, it is possible that it could damage the relationship. It can be difficult to regain their trust once they are aware of the regular lying. People frequently tell lies to bypass sharing truths that feel uncomfortable or awkward. Lying should be avoided because it is important to share true judgment and care for others. Lying typically ruins relationships whether they are personal or work-related. It is clear that lying creates skepticism and disbelief. Most people will stop asking liars for advice on personal issues because they know they will not get truthful information. Friendships are often broken because of lies that get too big to keep lying about. Lying hides who people really are. People should try to keep a clean slate by staying honest, especially when there are consequences. Lying gets rid of credibility, yet people seem to lie more
It takes a special kind of person to be completely comfortable with themselves, because we all have our insecurities no matter how insignificant they may be. Small lies are a common way for people to find some sort of connection with each other. For example, a person may lie about being interested in a certain type of activity in order to build some common ground or gain approval from someone. Even if the person lied in order to feel more accepted, they lack respect for themselves and for the other person because they aren’t happy with themselves, and therefore care about the other person’s opinion for all the wrong reasons. This lack of self respect often stems from more personal issues, characterized from lies by a person who cares little about themselves and focuses on what other people think of them. In order to be an honest person, it takes happiness and a strong sense of self-worth so that you are complacent with the person you really
the united states of America is a nation that was born through war and rebellion. the most important artifact that declares we are a free country is that of the decleration of independence. Occording to archives.gov "the decleration of independence was drafted by "Committee of Five" (John Adams, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston, and Thomas Jefferson) drafted the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson drafted it, Adams and Franklin made changes to it. Congress reconvened on July 1, 1776." the decleration was intended to tell their people that they were free and to tell the many countries especially the english. according to classroom.monticello.org the artifact was created to state as to why the colonies wanted to be
(1996) was a broad study that yielded several results. People lie daily, a finding not many would be surprised with. The lie more often outside of face-to-face interactions, unsurprising given the prominence of body language in communication. The types of things people lied about were consistent with ideas of monitoring impression formation; in simpler terms, people often lie to look better to others. It also appears that people lie with some frequency about positive feelings. This suggests that we may not want to take responses or comments about positive feelings at face value, and may want to dig deeper out of concern if we believe these responses to be dishonest. The findings in sex difference suggest that women lie to protect others much more often than men, but also lie more about others more than men. While this reinforces gossip stereotypes, it also reinforces the idea that women are more sensitive. To summarize the findings, if you desire open and honest conversation, you will likely have to encourage it. The prevalence of lying, for positive or negative reasons, is so great that it is a daily occurrence. To combat this, you must first acknowledge the astounding frequency of lying, and then voice your desire for less of it. After all, interactions without lies were rated more positively than ones with lies. If you want a more open, honest,
Thomas E. Drabek, disaster researcher and prolific author of disaster literature, has been my favorite in both of those categories since I was introduced to his work in one of my first Crisis and Disaster Management (CDM) courses at the University of Central Missouri. His disaster research work and writings have motivated and inspired me to entertain the idea of becoming a disaster researcher. Prior to reading Drabek’s work and especially his book, The Human Side of Disasters, (Drabek, 2010), I was uncertain about my future role in CDM. As I worked towards completion of my undergraduate degree in CDM I had hoped that along the way I would discover a particular passion in the field that would in turn lead to a vocation. My interests have
Being honest also builds character. Other people enjoy being around others who are honest with them. Honesty expresses both self-respect and respect for others. I believe that being honest is important because it strengthens the trust that others have in you. We find ourselves in positions where we could either lie or tell the truth. Honesty is telling the whole truth, even if it gets you into trouble. Although being honest is hard to do at times, there is truth in the meaning that “honesty is the best policy”.
Now let's talk about this topic called Honesty. I would hope this word stands out to all of you, because this is not something little. This is a strong word. This word carries a lot of work. There is no other way to explain it other than be truthful, and not lying. Whether or not you are an honest person
