The stronger an attitude is, the more likely it is to translate to one’s actions. Likewise, the more thorough the assertiveness is to the confined conduct, the more it will be pertinent for said behavior. If rational thought leads to the decision that a behavior should be done based upon a said assertiveness, and it is decided that the behavior can be done, most likely those behaviors will ascend (The THINK SPOT, 2013).

For example after a late night booty call the other wes moore had, he had got into a late night altercation,and how he responded was his choice.” Wes went inside,but he had no intention of staying there.He ran to his room and straight to his closet.reached to the top shelf and pulled out his 9mm Beretta and a few full clips”. The way the other Wes chose to respond was under his full control, he could have let it go,but instead he decided to act on it and soon got arrested.Another time the other Wes chose to act without thinking the changed his life,was when he encountered an undercover cop that tipped that he was by asking the following “Do you guys know where I can buy some rocks” wes knowing that he replied “nope”,but the thought of money is what kept him involved. Wes chose to do the exchange “approached the booth,he reached into his pocket and pulled out two dime bags of crack cocaine,twenty dollars worth”. Wes was arrested for selling drugs,if he had stayed streetsmart he wouldn't have been

After reading the article “Business Ethics and Moral Motivation: A Criminological Perspective”, it was interesting to see how certain individuals justify their actions. The technique of neutralization that I am most vulnerable to is “everyone else is doing it”. I have always used this excuse while growing up when my parents would try to punish me for something. When I was a child I believed that if someone else could get away with a certain action, then I should be able to as well. I think the root of this thought process was because I have an older sibling. As a teenager, my parents never gave my brother a curfew, but I had one. I had to be home by 9:30pm and my brother could come home until the next day. After obtaining my license and getting a car at the age of 17, I began pushing my curfew until 11:00pm. This was brought on by peer pressure as well because most of my friends did not have a curfew at

Some things are better off left together because they intertwine and work together. A person’s actions and intentions can be dominant in certain situations depending on the situation.. When one says one is more important constantly, then people can completely dismiss a majority of situations, mold people into what they want to see, and lead to a lack of crucial information. Choosing between two things that work hand in hand can cause multiple miscommunications that can easily be avoided when people realize that they should not try to separate and bring superiority to actions and intentions in all situations. When people say that actions are more important than intentions and vice versa they aren’t really taking account of multiple situations

Habit as defined in Webster’s as a: a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance b : an acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary (Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online, 2011). Behavior is the manner of conducting oneself or anything that an organism does involving action and response to stimulation. In everyday life habits are formed and intertwined with ones behavior. People are often associated with the way they behave

In all circumstances there is temperance found in the middle of the two extremes of the bad habit range. These indecencies can either be an abundance or lack of something. For instance, overestimating a rival in a fight is a bad habit and in addition disparaging them. The excellence is found from having the capacity to "peruse" the adversary and to comprehend their abilities, qualities, and shortcomings in battle. This can be viewed as acting in "the correct way," as Aristotle puts it.

We all know that habitual behaviours are difficult to change (think, for instance, about how hard it is for people to give up smoking.) Habitual behaviours are those behaviours with which we are comfortable. We do not want to move out of our comfort zones to change our habits.

I believe people always justify their behaviors. Whether it’s good or bad. It’s something everyone does. Butler states, “…is not to see whether it be right, but to find out reasons to justify or palliate it; palliate it, not to others, but to themselves.” People will always justify what they are doing or what they did. It’s not just for the crowd, but for themselves. It’s the biggest form of self-deceit. People do this to prove to themselves that they are better than they really are. All it is doing is harming themselves.

One of the most difficult things that I have experienced is finding out how to get along and work better with my family and others. This trial was difficult for me because I am a prideful person. I do not like people to think they are better than me, and I like to be right, even when I may not be. For example, whenever my siblings would suggest a change in my chores or in my work, I would oftentimes bicker with them until they gave up on me or we came close to blows. Similarly, at times a normal conversation would turn into a full out argument because I would blow a joke about me way out of proportions. I soon began to realize that because of my vain nature people were less eager to involve me in what was going on. It was at this point when

In a state of dilemma, individuals find it interesting when people confronted with life’s problems. The way people behave when the answers to which are not immediately known. Different situation, people have to think of different technique to solve the problems. Analyzing a poem is different from analyzing statistical data. Both are related to analyzing but the mind has to be aware of each situation to apply in any cases. Learning and Leading with Habits of Mind talks about sixteen ways people use when it comes to describing the Habits of Mind. Curiosity is what motivates deep thinking when questioning and posing problems habit. The bravery to take responsible risks habit and listening with understand and empathy habit when hearing stories from others. For me, one of the most important habit that I have learned the most is responsible risks. Being greedy and wanted to be success in two categories is not going to work, I have to decide on letting go of one and remain focus on the one that I am planning to take the risk on.

This habit, along with the next two, deals with interdependence. This habit deals with genuinely striving for mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in my relationships. Valuing and respecting others by understanding that a "win" for all is a better long-term outcome than if only one person in the situation had gotten his or her way.

I feel that I have to get rid of bad habits in order to make room for better habits that I need for everyday life. I am learning better habits everyday. Even though I did bad on my first exam I feel that counted as learning for me because now I know what it takes for me to receive a high grade on any test I take.

I tend to go with the flow, and use what's given to me. Growing up, I was often riding in the car wherever my brothers were going. During my preschool years I really learned to embrace the phrase " get what you get and don't make a fit". I would often eat my breakfast in the car, which meant, what I had was what I got. This has actually really helped me in life. I have learned not to complain about minor things, and be grateful for what I have. I have learned that plans change and I must adapt instead of complaining. This is a key life tool that I will remember

We are creatures of habit. Whether they are good or bad, habits shape our actions and help us get through our days. As Charles Duhigg describes in his book, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, habits “emerge because the brain is constantly looking for ways to save effort.” They are routines that automate parts of our behavior. Habits can be so firmly ingrained into our neural networks that we aren’t actually conscious of them, and we don’t need to put much thought to follow through them.
