For my Values Visual depiction, I took Polaroid pictures of items/people that I felt represented my values, which are family, friendship, and knowledge. After the Polaroids developed, I tacked them to a board in sections of varying sizes.
Family is the largest section on the board, and contains the most Polaroids, because family is what I value the most. Growing up in a close-knit family, I realized at a young age that the relationships I have with my parents, grandparents, and siblings are the relationships that I should hold closest. My family has been, and will always be, there for me no matter what and they are truly some of the most inspiring people I have ever met. To represent the value of family, I took photos of my family members,

I have always seen the importance of knowledge, as I strongly believe that knowledge and growth go hand in hand. This value has been developed through school, my own desire to learn, and experiences I have had in and out of the classroom. I have chosen to represent knowledge through pictures of items that come to mind when I think of academic and personal growth, along with items frequently associated with learning.
I think that the two main values that are expressed within Stand Up That Mountain are conservation and perseverance. The people involved in the Putnam Mine Case, such as Jay Leutze and , are interested in protecting nature and show deep concern with the negative impact that humans can have on the planet. Leutze, Ashley, and Ollie all go to great lengths in order to protect the environment that they live in, and continue to persevere no matter how difficult things get.
Leutze’s value of conservation can be seen through his admiration for the Appalachian Trail, and his desire to protect the areas surrounding it for future generations. The value of conservation goes past the desire to conserve nature in this book, though. The Cox-Cook clan, and other families whose lives would be negatively affected by the Putnam mine, seek to conserve their way of

Leutze, the Cox-Cook clan, and those who helped them along their journey, continue their fight whether or not the odds are in their favor. Even when they are sick, Ashley and Ollie continue to focus on protecting their land, and surrounding areas, from the Putnam mine. Mr. Leutze also goes to great lengths to fight for what he believes in, pushing his personal life to the side and dedicating hours upon hours to the Putnam Mine case.
My values differ quite a lot from those expressed by the people in Stand Up That Mountain While I place value on the relationships I have with family and friends, they are more concerned with protect the environment and conserving their way of life. I feel like, even though our values are very different, our willingness to fight for what we hold close is the same. Mr. Leutze, and the people of Dog Town, pushed through multiple struggles and fought tirelessly to defend their values.
Since orientation, and after much consideration, I have decided that I wish to be known as a kind and generous person. To achieve this goal, I hope to take advantage of volunteering and fundraising opportunities on campus. I would also like to get involved with tutoring programs, and am interested in taking on a leadership role when an
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
The various characters and captivating storylines offer in-depth understandings of these values. It is important
Values are those things that are important, meaningful and valued by an individual, a group of people, or an organization. Whether we are aware of them or not, every individual has his or her core set of values, which consist of many different kinds of values. Each individual’s value system is different from one another because individual’s values are built up through one’s life experience, environment, and family background. Values are important to us because they reflect our personal moral standards, shape our behavior, and guide us through long life journeys. Since we live in a highly connected society, each person’s value system does not only affect one’s own life, but also affects many other people and the
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.
Furthermore, there are two other segments from the film that I also found particularly relevant to the concept of values. In the first segment (S3), before the Coke bottle drops from the sky, the Bushmen shared everything equally and with respect. When the bottle dropped from the sky, they thought
