Personal Life and Good Neighbor

Because my neighbor is considered suburban it often gets a bad rep. A lot of people think that suburbs are boring and aren't interesting. As this suggests, the problem is also cultural. For the most part, American culture and opinion are still created, even in the Internet age, in cities at either edge of the continent. If intellectuals do deign to look at the suburbs they assume that so much banality must be hiding something deeply

Community impacts our daily lives. It brings us together and it provides the support we need through tough situations. Every day we engage with our community whether it is with a person from the community or with service to help the community flourish. It is important to better ourselves as a community member or a neighbor because a community needs strong members to flourish. To become a strong community member, one must practice all types of altruism, give more than what is required, and work together with members of the community.

Research has shown that healthy friendships in which close ties emerge are developed when parents provide a warm and supportive home environment (Feldman, 2014). Children emulate positive social interactions and roles, which they learn from the adults in their lives who they model after. Children living in healthy family systems develop a strong and positive relationship with their parents or caregiver and will encourage positive relationships with others.

Right away after reading the first chapter, I knew a character who displayed a true sense of neighborliness and community was Dolores Driscoll. She always helped out with picking up kids for school, even when it was not in her salary. On page four paragraph two, Dolores says, “I started back in 1968, as a courtesy and convenience, with my own brand-new Dodge station wagon”. This shows a true sense of neighborliness because she was putting miles and wear and tear on her new car to help out other families, all while she was not even getting paid for it. Also, in the first paragraph on page six, Dolores says, “By staying away from the cutesy names, sticking with names that were slightly humorous, I was able to get the older kids to go along with

Growing up south of town gave me an appreciation for my neighbors and a desire to see everyone succeed. My neighbors were always friendly and waved when we drove by. They were always welcoming whenever I needed their help.

But first was he/she a legal neighbour. The law defines a neighbour as "someone so closely and directly affected by my act

What do you think about your neighbours? How do you feel about your schools? What do you think about your community? Community has always been a big part of our lives and it has been here since the day we were born. We might even live on the same street, but we grow up in different households and this results in many different views on communities. The many definitions of our community may include our home, our heritage, and even our religion.

“I wish they would have come to the neighbors,” Hawkins said, adding she and other neighbors shouldn’t be viewed as enemies.

Our closest neighbor was about half a mile away. There was an overgrown dirt path through the forest from our house to that of our neighbor. We had more than one neighbor but they lived so far away that they may has well not existed. We went for a long walk one day and saw an old house that was covered in vines and other strange plants, proving that we did indeed have neighbors, even if they were only the animals who inhabited the deserted house.

Previously, my family and I resided in a small subdivision where we had plenty of neighbors. However, not too many of these

Through Raymond Carver’s minimalist styled writing, comes “Neighbors,” a story about a seemingly ordinary couple who live dreary and plain lives. In the first few paragraphs we have a detailed description of the type of people, the relationship, and occupations Bill and Arlene Miller have. Later on, the story begins to spark a more dark and mysterious conflict by unraveling the Miller’s strange obsessions. Carver uses third person objective point of view to add onto his technique of simplistic writing & to create a more intense mystery.

“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul motivated by love.”

Many people do not care about where they come from. Many people are selfish with their time and effort, but not me I do care about where I came from and I devote most of my time and effort to make many people happy. I try my hardest to do the right thing and to give back when I know I should. Giving back to my community is an important thing to me. People should care and protect about their communities. Three reasons why giving back to my community is important to me is because my community has done so much for me, I take so much pride in where I am from, and because I want people to see how wonderful my community is.

We all have something close to our heart that could make a positive change in our community and possibly even our earth. I could make a positive change in my community by raising money through fundraisers to buy new, unused, cotton clothing (shoes, shirts, shorts), and by donating these needed clothing items to underprivileged children. Due to my many hours of work in the community soup kitchen it was brought to my attention that there is a need for more than food, there is a necessitate for clothing. I would hope to make sure no child goes unclothed.

Care for others. The way this will help you achieve happiness is that when you help others it gives you a warm feeling inside. It makes you feel as if you have done something right. This feeling is almost unexplainable. Helping others is one of the best things you can do. For example, when you complement someone the best feeling is when you see the look on that persons face and see how happy you made them. Also, if you do not care for others you will live a lonely life. Without care for others no one will want to be around you. So, if you care for others you will have a joyous life.
