My Values Visual Depiction

In Wallace Stegner’s “Wilderness Letter,” he is arguing that the countries wilderness and forests need to be saved. For a person to become whole, Stegner argues that the mere idea of the wild and the forests are to thank. The wilderness needs to be saved for the sake of the idea. He insinuates that anyone in America can just think of Old faithful, Mt. Rainier, or any other spectacular landform, even if they have not visited there, and brought to a calm. These thoughts he argues are what makes us as people whole.

Values relate to our personal principles, morals, and ideals—that is, what we consider to be important.Each person is unique, with their own personal values and beliefs shaped by a number of factors that include culture, religion, and personal experiences.We value each person as an individual, respect their aspirations and commitments in life, and seek to understand their priorities, needs, abilities and limits.

This family comes together in a time when they all need it. Phillip at one point tells Judd he’s on his side and has his back no what the situation is. Then every time Judd and Wendy meet on the roof to talk they are creating a turning point during a bad time. It can be see that each brother, sister, brother, brother, and/or mother, child moment is a growing point where something/someone else is thinking and acting different. The Altman family displays resilience by walking away at the end and assuring each other that they have their backs.

Another leadership story type that Simmons discusses is the “Values-in-Action” story, which brings values to life by respectfully “instilling [them] in a way that keeps people thinking for themselves” (20). Leslie asks the schoolchildren to imagine what it must have been like to be raised in an Indian residential school, stating that the children are “the next generation who will walk forward with values and ideals that will change our world and make it a better place” (Project Heart). The adults who participated in the ceremony (in addition to those who view it through film) must also face the same question, as well as face their individual and collective values as demonstrated by their response to her poignant inquiry. That is to say, if adults see children acting according to a certain ethical standard, the adults are also likely to choose to follow with their own ethical actions.

Aldo Leopold is considered by many to be one of the leading founders of conservation biology. From a very young age, he had a heightened interest in the outdoors and later pursued a career in the U.S. Forest Service. In 1949, he published a book about conservation called, “A Sand County Almanac”. Contained within the book is one of his writings, “The Land Ethic”, an influential writing that was designed to inform and inspire others to do their part in conserving the earths remaining wilderness.

I have demonstrated the principles of leadership, progress, and service in several ways throughout the past three years. During my senior year of high school, I was the president of my school’s chapter of the International Thespian Society, a community service officer in the National Honor Society and an active member of the Beta Club. Through these organizations, I was able to take on several leadership roles where I not only led others but also served my surrounding community. The most memorable of these events the International Thespian Society's canned food drive. Even though my school had not participated prior to this, through my organizational and planning skills, we managed to collect over 10,000 pounds of food for our local food bank.

I want to play a role of a learner and as an activist. I want to learn about everyone’s culture and understand how that plays into the current world. I want to be aware of any problems my classmates face because of who they are and if there is a way I can help them. I have organized fundraisers through GSA and for the 3 other clubs

Values are intangible things that are important to us, and that guide us, individually, to make decisions. Each person has a different set of values, morals, and ethics, which is the reason that each person handles a situation differently. Here, I will discuss my top 5 values, and why they are important to me.

Robin Williams is a Sociologist that identified certain values he felt all Americans have, the one I’m focusing on is Activity and Work. This value mainly prefers action over inaction where regular work is a goal. Activity and Work is based on merit and not favoritism, while all people have the opportunity to perform at their best. The signs of virtue for Activity and Work are discipline, dedication, and hard work.

For the past four years at Vernon Hills High School, I have been engaged in various clubs and sports. Some of the clubs that I have been part of are FBLA, Interact Club, First Class, FMPA, String Projects, National Honors Society, and SPARK. Out of these extracurricular activities, I have been on executive board for the volunteering club, Interact, for two years. In this position I have been able to coordinate various volunteering opportunities such as organizing events to attend Feed My Starving Children, Bernie’s Book Bank, and more. From this club, I have been able to help students connect with their community and connect with their peers. Another leadership position that I have been involved in is First Class. In this club, students lead

Leopold presents a formerly unheard of precedent called, 'Land Ethic'. This precedent addresses how nature and the land itself ought to be approached with deference. While it does not prevent the misuse of these resources, it does assert that the ecosystem only works as a whole, and all components of it are equally important. This stems from the possibility that the biological community itself just capacities appropriately if every one of its parts are working firmly so one section is not more essential than another. Another theme is that of wild life. The wilderness is where we came from, and is still important to us but is disappearing. He makes a list of some of the vanished ecosystems of North America, and some whose remnants should be preserved. Wilderness has recreation value-- not mechanized enjoyment, but a preservation of older, now unnecessary means of travel and kinds of experiences that contrast with ordinary life. He exhibits the significance of the learning of protection by clarifying how man and nature could fall apart if people don't begin to regard and ration the biological communities around

Everybody has a different set of values. The Logan family and The Wallace family have different set of values throughout the book.. The Logan family demonstrates positive values as they face challenges. They value, family ,pride, learning and courage. The Wallaces values seem to be focused around negative things. They value the fact that they are wealthier than others, and feel they are better and more powerful because they are “white”

The values show cased on that eventful day are simple, yet difficult to uphold. Preparation and diligence are simple philosophies to understand but difficult to implement in everyday life. Of course there are the values of saving lives and always being ready to act when called. However, in my personal and academic

The various characters and captivating storylines offer in-depth understandings of these values. It is important

n every society around the world, individuals have values that are important to them, whether they be cultural or otherwise. Some of them may include determination, creativity, honesty, loyalty, and wisdom; these can have a considerable effect on one’s everyday life and the choices that they make. Similarly, Jean Valjean and Fantine have values that affect the decisions that they make. In Les Miserables, Victor Hugo uses various conflicts and characters to demonstrate the importance of religion, compassion, and love in one’s life.
