Personal Responsibility and Accountability Essay

I have learned that the army is all about making the right choices and doing the right thing so if anything makes sure that you are always doing what is right. I for one have been late a few times and now I have to make sure that I take care of that so that I can keep my rank and not lose anything. The right thing for me to do is I will make sure that I have an alarm clock set for the time I need to be up and to better myself to get up as soon as it goes off. Then I will make sure that I am getting a good amount of sleep so that I can get up on time and not be late or dragging while I am at work. I have done so well I just need to be more attentive in what I am doing and make sure that I have my things in order and that I am prepared for everything that comes my way. It’s time to set aside the differences have against me and be a leader by example if people see me showing up whenever they will do the same thing. So now I have to make sure that I lead by example and not by sub standards because in the long wrong I will be in charge of soldiers and don’t want them to think that they can just show up whenever or talk to NCO’S any way they want. Which brings me to my last part respect in order for soldiers to want to respect anybody you have to show that you are contributing to the work that is going and not just sitting there

What better way than to lesson early on in my career be aware of my deficiency and correct myself. When I become a NCO and one of my privates commits the same mistake I will think back to my experience and teach them about why it is important to stay awake and have them learn just as I am right now. So in essence this will help me become a better leader and have the ability to understand my soldiers and take the appropriate actions when they do wrong. Being a member of JAG I know that we are held to higher standard than most other MOS’s and other Joes. JAG wants the best out their soldiers in all aspects and all times. From the little things to the big ones. I am truly sorry for what I did and by writing this essay I have learned new techniques to stay awake. It has also made me take a look inside for intestinal fortitude about doing the right thing when nobody’s watching or when a whole class could be watching. It has made think about occasions where falling asleep could result in much more sever consequences that I wouldn’t want to end up

The principal reason for this essay is since I did not follow out proper orders and was not at the right place of duty for PT/Accountability formation at the appropriate time. Though there was a miscommunication, granted on my half, there's nonetheless no excuse for me to miss a formation. I desire to be a great soldier and I desire to excel inside military. The first step I need to put into action is often making sure I am at the appropriate place of duty at the proper time or preferably with time to spare. This can be a simple task that's easy and painless to ensure, and it'll be accomplished.

The first week I went all out teaching and drilling the new cadets - and loving it. I made mistakes, and had to practice using a command voice but I was not averse to working hard. I made great improvements in the first month. Slowly, the girls started to clash, and rejecting the system set up at school. Every morning I had to wake up my squad at 0630, and I started receiving refusals to wake up, and get ready. I was surprised - they had been waking up every day previous. I thought they were only slacking, and just needed to be given a little space and motivation. Very quickly though, I was proven wrong. My attempts to wake them up, get them outside for formation, behave correctly at mess, and gather them together for sports practice became a trying task. Having every command answered with a resounding “no,” was exhausting after only a week of constant nagging. I did not enjoy hovering, but it was my job. I lost motivation to do my job, it didn’t feel like I was learning anything, but just set the tape to repeat day in day out. Fortunately, I realized my issue quickly, and my insistence on being a good leader won out. I sought advice from my counselors, upper cadre, and instructors. Talking about the rejection I was dealing with and coming up with methods to counteract it helped motivate me and turn around my squad. I did not have the experience or skill to convince my squad, my peers, to do something they had already set

During this experience I made plenty of mistakes. I tried to do too much by myself, lost a scout and was not personal enough. I

have done. My mindset just have to always stay positive and do the right thing. Because if i do the wrong thing and one of my fellow battle buddies see me doing the wrong thing they might get the impression that doing the wrong thing is “cool” or okay which is not the impression i want to give off at all. Or it could make someone think of me as a bad soldier who dissent listen/follow instructions given by higher up and i would be looked down upon. Once thing that i have learned in my 4-5 months in being in the army is to lead by example and if I'm doing the wrong thing by not living by the army values I'm not saying a good example at all and not acting like a leader. If you don't lead by example you are just hurting yourself in the long run and not being

The theme of the second podcast is Personal Responsibility. A metaphor is made between a simple marshmallow survey with kindergarteners to patience in poverty. I never really saw to much of a connection between these two scenarios, except for the idea of waiting to have kids. It is similar to biology how there are K and R species. K species produce fewer offspring but provide much more care for each individual, whereas R species produce more offspring, but care less for each individual. Those who choose to wait longer, when they are married and financially stable, might create a better family life for their child. An old woman who lives in a rough part of town is interviewed about her perspective on poverty. The woman being interviewed worked

Personal Accountability In this new season of my life it is time to draw closer to God, no longer making excuses. I spend timely daily pressing into His presence, but I want more of Him in this season. In this new season I must strategically find different ways and opportunities to seek Him more, praise Him more, serve His children more, and educate myself in Him more.

My platoon sergeant called my name, like many times before I responded with “here.” I quickly learned that he was not calling on me for accountability, he told me to “post and take charge of physical training” for the morning.” Physical training was something I was very good at, it came natural to stay ahead of the rest or push myself regardless of what we endured that day. However I was now facilitating physical training, I had taken part in physical training hundreds of times, I had seen all of the proper drills nearly every morning for almost two years. I stood in front of the formation and had no clue what to say or do; I knew all the exercises but could not seem to figure out the proper commands to get the platoon to do what I wanted. I did not know how to warm them up, conduct exercises, or cool them down. I knew this was going to be a long year in Korea and my day ahead would be extremely painful. After completion of physical training my platoon sergeant called me aside and told me not to worry, he wanted to assess what I knew and where to start. He told me that I would be taking the platoon on a 5 mile run at the end of the week; study Field Manual 21-20. He informed me to come prepared and ready to train Soldiers.

This picture represents me because I am responsible person who does all of my homework on time and I take full responsibility for things this means that I take accountability for all of the things I do especially the work I do in college and I want to prove to people that I am responsible enough so people can easily trust me without having any doubt.

In the play Romeo and Juliet and the musical Wet Side Story, the two pairs of lovers were part responsible for their tragic fates. First, Romeo’s and Juliet’s families were enemies. In comparison, Tony and Maria of West Side Story were practically apart of gangs that were enemies as well. Second, both couples knew they shouldn’t have been together especially if they had to hide it. Third, Romeo and Juliet gave up hope when they committed suicide. Last, the couples knew their situations would be dangerous and would cause more feuding than there already was.

The author states, “When people keep doing what they have been doing even when it does not work they are being victims. When people change their beliefs and behaviors to create the best results they can, they are acting as a creator” (P32). Researchers Robert Vallerand and Robert Bissonetter state “the benefits to students of accepting personal responsibility has been demonstrated in various studies” (P33) With these studies they found that “significantly more of the creator-like students were still enrolled in college then the victim-like students. If you want to succeed in college and in life, then being a creator gives you a big edge”. (P33)

The consequences of my actions could have resulted in more than a counseling. Most importantly my soldier could have been in serious danger and by the time I seeked help it could have been too late to keep the condition of the

From past to present human beings have been living under determined laws and patterns and consequently the state exists necessarily. It has particular responsibilities such as promoting the welfare of the individual or protecting citizens from jeopardy toward the citizens who live in there. However, these responsibilities are not unilateral. In other words, as a member of community, although the citizens have a certain privileges, there are also liability that are required from citizens toward the state. There are three main responsibilities that are required from each individual to be a good citizen: Civic responsibilities, cultural responsibilities and moral responsibilities.

When a company makes a strategic decision it is important to evaluate the impact of the ethical consequences toward the company and the stakeholders. Often a company will make a strategic plan based on profit; however, social responsibility looks outside of profits and determines the effects on all stakeholders including customers, environment, and society. In addition, the strategic decision should also be based on the code of ethics set forth by the organization. Furthermore, when determining the development of a strategic plan, the organization may either use the views of Milton Friedman or Archie Carroll (Wheelen, 2010).
