Core Value I. Understand that writing is a practice which involves a multi-stage, recursive and social process.
This core value is about being able to demonstrate in your writing that you are able to take others feedback and use their feedback to revise your own essay, which I used throughout my first essay and the other two as well. While writing my essays the feedback from others has helped me make my essays better and more interesting. Without peer-editing my essays would have never became stronger and more well written. Also in my writing, when I knew I needed help I knew exactly where I could go for help or revision, such as my family, classmates and my teachers. Therefor, well writing each of my papers I have used a rough draft and

As I continued to review and edit my essays, I felt that if I read my essays out loud to myself it has helped me dramatically, instead of revising it silently to myself.
Core Value II. Understand that close and critical reading/analysis allows writers to understand how and why texts create meaning. While reading any type of literature, online or printed, many times the main points can be taken out of context if not read closely enough. While reading articles for support towards my claims in my own essays, it was important for to me to pay close attention to the literature the author was using. When it comes to the education system lots of parents and teachers seem to be very biased and sometimes everyone does not agree on the same things, which could lead to a lot of different opinions. Sometimes while reading, it was hard to understand if the author had a valid argument in the article. The logical fallacies that I detected in the author’s statements persuaded me to think that he was being sarcastic and dishonest. When it comes to sarcasm it is extremely hard for me to comprehend what the authors are saying, because I can’t hear their voice. I have come to realize that it is important to be able to understand the author’s opinion, so i could form my own. Many articles I read went either for my claim or against it, so while reading each article I really had to have my own feel for each to see
Writing is a powerful tool for communication and connection. As an extension and expression of the mind, writing is as much about the mental processes of the author as it is about the final marks laid to paper. As we write, we hold in mind our own thoughts on the work, anticipate the reader’s thoughts, and think both in concrete and abstract ways in order to accomplish the task at hand. Whether an academic research paper, a novel, or text message to friends, writing seeks to engage, persuade, or impress concepts upon an audience. Like language and other art forms in general, the practice of writing is ever-evolving and is subject to cultural and contextual influence, expectations, and conventions. Each writer holds a theory
Firstly, attentiveness occurs while compiling all relevant data to identify the solution (Ethics Game, n.d). Personally, my core values are autonomy and rationality, which come from the idea that I should aspire to be the best I can be, without pause. A few important behaviors that relate to my values are motivation, determination, consistency, and responsibility.
I have learned a lot after identifying my top 7 core values now I will compare them on a personal level, local level, and a global level. The first core value I identified was economic security, and I can compare this on all three levels. On a personal level, I contribute on a daily basis by working at The Home Depot. By working at The Home Depot, I contribute to my economic security by making a salary which helps pay for school. On a local level part of the money I make goes to taxes which help local citizens afford food and healthcare. Globally I contribute by helping people install greener and more environmentally friendly options. The second core value that I discovered that was important to me is health. On a personal level, I contribute
My thoughts are to have core values that will replace value statements. I believe five core values will be good, easy, and simple. One core value will be “We value people” this value should be respected by employees of the business. All people need to be value in order for the business to be held in high standards. The next core value will be
Voice is the key to getting the reader involved in an essay. Without it, the
Also, by revising my essays I felt that I had the chance of writing with a broader sense.
The next two processes (self-revision and peer editing) are also very crucial for two purposes. One purpose is to correct all major and minor mistakes such as: adding additional or missing information, replacing unwanted information, rearranging the paragraph so the essay has continuity, and fixing grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. The other purpose is to provide critical feedback on how I can enhance my essay even more. Reading an essay aloud is also an efficient way I learned to spot errors when
The six core values are Service, Social Justice, Dignity of worth of the person, Importance of the Human Relationship, Integrity, and Competence. Service is helping someone with nothing to gain. For example a lawyer doing a pro bono case. Social justice is basically fair and just the relationship between the individual and society. Its a political concept that all people should have equal rights to wealth, health, well-being, justice and opportunity.
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.
Core Values on the other hand, are what support our mission, shape our culture, and reflect what NRC really values. They are NRC’s principles and beliefs. They rarely change, and that is why we didn’t approach drafting them lightly. They will govern how we live our lives in community with Christ-followers, and those outside the Christian
This semester, in English comp II, I have learned a lot of things in class such as improving my vocabulary, the ten core concepts, writing an effective research paper, marketing effectively and writing in workplace. Out of the ten core concepts, my favorite three are; good writing fits the context, a writer must have something to say and good writing means more than good grammar. In good writing fits the context its means writes have to determine the expectations for each writing situation .They must consider their audience and make decisions about content, form, and style that they believe will most effectively meet the expectations of that audience. Good writing is writing that meets the needs of “the rhetorical situation” which often means meeting the specific criteria for an
In this season of my life, I find myself residing in the most opportune time to reflect on my managerial competencies, as my surrounding environment in which I now lead and manage, has taken a dramatic shift. The eight roles identified by the Competing Values Framework that are essential for effective management, do not make the smoothest transition from a multi until store manager in a retail environment, to a Director of Children’s Ministry in a religious institution. The competencies in which I excelled in Corporate America, I find are not the strengths I need to tap into to find success in my new role. Therefore, in order to achieve the vision of what comparable success is in my new role, I need to build on my competencies that display weakness in regards to the Competing Values Framework that will be the defining factor of my success or failure.
Olivia, you made really great points in your discussion. I also think it is important to know the context of what we read. So many times I find myself jumping to conclusions over something when I have only read a portion of it. We need to really find out all the facts and get an understanding before we really can fully understand something and its intended meaning. I think all relate to the "instant application" society mentality and it is really a stuggle to avoid getting caught up in it. I often read Facebook CNN news updates and believe it is real because it gives me just enough facts without overloading me with minutes of pointless reading. I avoid at all costs going online and researching things for myself. I see the downfall this can
Core values are a person or an organization's fundamental beliefs, these principles prescribe behavior along with helping people understand the difference between right and wrong, “values are what motivate you in life. They are what guide you along the path of fulfilment, so essentially your values are the foundation of who you are” (C.Worsley). These values are important to have because they are what shape you, they make every person unique. Having a spirit of adventure, perseverance, and having patience are only some of my core values. Knowing what you cherish is very important and is something many people should revise.
Monika Ardelt defines [wisdom] “as a combination of cognitive, reflective and compassionate qualities” (Pearson, 2014, para. 2). My values and skills development, from my exploration stage through establishment stage as defined by Donald Super, have led me on the path toward becoming a self-knowledgeable and wise counselor (The Life Career Rainbow: Finding a Work/Life Balance That Suits You, n.d., para. 19-20). I have gained wisdom and insight by thoughtfully reflecting on and learning from powerful life experiences both personal and witnessed. As my life’s journey continues, it is my intention to add the knowledge and skills requisite to an excellent counselor to my practical and appreciative understanding of the human existence.
