My Religion Is Kindness, By Dalai Lama

ability.” As a child, my parents told me to respect my siblings and elders. I was taught that

My personal code of ethics is Equality and Sensibility. I believe in a predictable system that assures the well-being of all, especially those without power, is a just system. As a wife, mother, nurse and a member of a community, I strive to do the best I can in every aspect of my life. As a mother, I strive to be a good role model to my children and teach them the fundamentals of life. I strive to be able to give a solid foundation and an easy path to life whether it be school, finding who they want to be as they grow older and for a productive future. As a nurse, I strive for equality of care for every patient and to be able to be their voice when they are not

Many have wondered how abusive people become that way, or how some people are driven to do impossibly kind things. Answering these questions can be very complicated. For example, Tom Sawyer from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer grew up to be selfish and deceitful, but for the March sisters from Little Women ,it's almost the opposite in that they grew up to want to help people at their expense. Nobody is born with kindness, and more often than not, kindness or abusive and selfish tendencies come from experiences.

The code serves as a guide for our ethical principles that are a reflection of our values as social workers.

Most people think that I am a bit selfish, but its just the way I grew up. While I was an apprentice, I was always criticized and I knew that I would build myself up to prove

Although I would consider myself a decently nice person, I never realized it as much until I received the Kiwanis Award a year ago. There was a whole speech written about my achievements and how fantastic I was and everything. One very prominent part of the speech was how kind I was to others, no matter how badly they talked about others. People saw me as an extremely kind person, which I myself do not exactly believe. But my compassion towards others was strongly emplaced alongside all of my other achievements and was great enough to have me nominated for the Kiwanis

Is it forced upon us? What defines a person is their morals and their ability to do good for one another. However, nobody is ever perfect and completely civil and decent at all times. There are times in which what makes us human is forgotten and our primal selves take over. In a sense we are going back in the evolution process and becoming the selfish and unruly people we were before we were taught good from evil.

From day one I was always taught a good sense of morality. I’ve always been seen as an independent person, however I’d always be open armed to work with other people as well. As a little

In brief, think about the two reasons I listed to treat everyone the same, with are that you don't know them and the universe will give back to you, and use it the next time you meet someone

In today's world, niceness is so rare that people most probably believe it cannot exist to that high a level where it can be considered selfless. There’s something very tricky about the society we live in. If you give in to “jerk” tendencies, it is very easy to see and measure the rewards you accrue as a result. Alternatively, it is harder to see and measure the rewards that an empathetic person receives, which makes it harder for us to see any reason to try being nicer to people. In the article, 10 Reasons Why It's Better to Be a Jerk, by Heather Fishel the advantage of being mean are discussed, however I would have to strongly disagree with this logic. According to the article being a “jerk” can increase your salary, get you more promotions

The central idea of this religion is living a happy and good life along with being a morally good person. The

When developing the code, besides the input of stakeholders, I and my two partners will be directly involved in forming its content. We will consult our legal counsel to ensure we have avoided any potential legal problems. Six values that have been suggested as being desirable for codes of ethics include: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship (Ferrell, Ferrell & Fraedrich, 2008, p. 215). We will use these as a guide when developing our code, as it fits into our desire to have a values orientation for our ethic program.

It started as early as when I was a kid, I always wanted to please everyone. Help PawPaw wash the car, help dad tie his shoes, help mom clean, and so on. Clearly, they could get the job done quicker if I was out of their hair, but I tried. Always in everyone’s business “helping” them. I moved in with my aunt and uncle to help ease the grief of their daughter’s death. Later, I moved in with my roommate to help her pay rent. The list goes on and on. Eventually, I ended up becoming the children’s minister at the church in Texas that I attended when I found out I was pregnant with my second child and working a full time job. I felt like I was being pulled in a million different directions and I was losing myself

People sometimes forget the simple fact that being nice to others can actually be good for them. My mother and some unique persons whom am going to mention later guided and chided me to being a very nice person. Sometimes it works and sometimes it didn 't. After all, we all get ill-tempered from time to time and take it out on those around us. We can see that being nice to others is good for them, but did you realize it 's in your best interest too?

What religion am I? In my life, I have been told many things about my religion. My mother is a Roman Catholic, while my father is Jewish. I have learned about both religions, and I have tried to practice both as best I could, but I am now faced with the decision; which one am I?
