Personal Values

Personal values, beliefs, and principles are important for individuals to know about themselves. However, when asked the question, “what are your personal values, beliefs, and principles?” The first response is often a laundry list of characteristics with the assumption that those three words are synonymous. From my experience when posed this question the laundry list became long and in retrospect, I began to wonder what the differences were between each of these terms. As a teacher, employee, mother, and Christian knowing these differences and how to answer the question is an important component of determining how I make decisions when faced with ethical dilemmas. Hence, began the investigation of how the terms relate, their meaning and what my answer is to this question. Since my laundry list was quite long for this essay, I will share and explain the top two elements for each category, how they relate to one another and how the knowledge influences tough decisions.

American beliefs and opinions give a great understanding of what an American values. The want and need for freedom is described in many different ways based on origin or social beliefs. The main backbone of America today is freedom. Through the building of an American empire everyone can’t come to an understanding of what it is to be equally free. By comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Patrick Henry’s speech to the “Virginia Convention,” to take up arms and fight for our freedom. Frederick Douglass’ “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” who feels it’s time to end slavery. It is clear that the struggles of the American story are still prevalent and America has not yet found a way for freedom for all.

Personal values and professional values run parallel in the social work field. Recognizing and managing your personal values while working with clients is an important task.

As discussed by many, immigrants typically are known to come to America to pursue a sense of freedom that they are not finding in their home country. Whether it is the opportunity for a higher-paying job, a way to practice religion without persecution, or the opportunity to start a family in a safer environment, many immigrants have similar plans. And while people who lean towards a negative outlook on immigration may say that these people take Americans’ jobs and land, others think that immigration gives United States n economic edge in the world, bringing culture to our country.

I will explore the question on why do immigrants like America so much despite all the discrimination and criticism they face? I know that there can be a variety of answers and people may disagree with some of them but I feel that the answer to this question is the word freedom. I just feel that freedom is the reason why immigrants stay because that’s what America is about. I just recently learned in my latino studies that Puerto Rican women like it more in America than men for the reason that they were able to wear any clothes they want, vote, have jobs, and etc. I'm sure that not everybody would pick the word freedom but that’s just my opinion.

While personal freedom is such a vital part of the daily life of American citizens, but people often treat it as if having independence is a thing that comes without a price. There are many different challenges that come with having a large amount of freedom. Each person has the choice of how they are going to live their life, but this isn’t always a good thing. A nation can’t work properly if there are no regulations or punishments for irresponsible behaviors. America gives its citizens control over their own lives, but it also contains

Just as every plants and animal as evolved and changed throughout the course of its existence so has the definition of freedom while its’ meaning has stayed constant. Freedom has a perpetual meaning, however, humans have tried to change the definition based upon moral, ethical, social, and legal ideals that have through history been debated upon and never satisfied all. Freedoms’ perpetual meaning is that everyone, no matter race or gender, has the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. As time progresses and new ideas flourish the definition of freedom either flourishes along with society or takes a drastic spiral downward usually with the opinions of humanity. In this essay we will be

Many people have different opinions on what you should be doing in life or what are the most important values or characteristics. I think that you can control all of your emotions and can influence how good or bad your life is. My opinions are not the only right answer but they are what I think matters.

The three components that you must consider when you evaluate the morality of an act is by the objective act, the subjective motive, and the situation of the circumstance. For each of these acts, we also follow the moral laws which are external, universal, and immutable. Moral values go against the moral laws because they focus in on internal and relative meanings. God wants us to follow the moral laws because that is the true action while moral values make you decide between good and bad. The objective act is the easiest of the three acts of morality because it means not to do any evil. Most people do not want to cause evil on other people, yet some people find it enjoyable to do bad things just for the fun of it. When you commit this act you are always certain that you are doing and you know of it. If the person had no intentions except for doing evil, then it is an objective act. An example of the objective act would be to take a lollipop away from a baby and to throw it away afterwards. Because the act of taking one's lollipop away and throwing it away serves for no purpose than you making the baby upset, it is an objective act because you did something wrong just to do harm.
