Response To 'Diffusion Of Responsibility'

The concepts throughout this book are simple but they test self-control and patience, which in our world is uncommon because of the “want it now” attitude. Ramsey talks about how “personal finance is 80 percent behavior and only 20 percent head knowledge” (ix). This main idea is something Ramsey talks about and references throughout the whole book. Another main idea or as Ramsey calls it a “motto” that’s on each page at the bottom is “If you live like no one else, later you can live like no one else” (5). This is the theme that he refers back to on

My mother once said, “Spend your money wisely.” Ever since then I have. Now I want to spend my money on something special, like seeing my sister in Hawaii. In order to have these special things I have to earn money.

In Chapter 7 of Steal like an artist the author Austin Kleon tells us that in order to get things done we need to be boring. Sometimes we do things that other people do and that can get played out. In this chapter he also talks about money. He tells us that we need to save as much as we can and I have to agree with him. Some people want to spend on things that arnt important or necessary. Am guilty of doing that. But in order to have valuable things later on in life we need to learn how to save. Most of us have jobs and we follow a routine. For example, am a waitress/owner at my job.

They allocate their time, energy, and money efficiently, in ways conducive to building wealth. Millionaires budget and also plan their investments. They begin earning and investing early in life.

The goal of this course is to get you thinking about personal finance issues at a point in your life when you still have time to benefit from the power of time in generating wealth to accomplish your other life goals. The financial decisions you make early in life with determine in great extent the quality of life you will enjoy later, especially given the turbulent and uncertain economic conditions. Money isn’t everything, but a lack of it will impact almost every aspect of your life and those who surround you.

Although a budget is one part of this process, we must learn to save money first. Specifically, in this book it says to set aside one-tenth of what we earn and save it (ch.5). Setting aside one-tenth of what we earn allows us to make more suitable decisions on what we do with the other nine-tenths to live our daily lives. After a certain point, the one-tenth that we save every time we earn grows more and more to be able to buy the things we want or even really need.

In the book, “a raisin in the sun”, by Lorraine Hansberry, one main theme is that Money is both good and bad.

In Rocking Horse Winner Lawrence brings up some questions about economics. In the story the little boys mother tells her son that they aren’t lucky because they don’t have any money. Even though the family has money they don't have enough for how they are choosing to live. To their family money matters. “Money is essential for living, but insufficient for striving”(Tatzel). This quote states that money indeed is important to survive but you don't need a lot, just enough to get you by. In the story the mom wants more. She is never happy with how much she has, because she doesn't have enough. In the story children hear the house speaking to them saying “there must be more money”(pg.1248). This is proving that there are economic questions a rising. The

In paragraph 5 it moves away from how to spend your money to how money never stays with one person for too long. It is meant to be spent, mainly on gambling. It continues in line 6 about gambling, but bring up the reality of life; what about buying land, what about buying a house? Why don’t you settle down? In the last paragraph it talks about that regret of spending all your money, being in debt to people, gambling it all away. If you do that then you won’t live long, and will just end up as a tale mother’s tell their children about so they don’t follow after you.

Finally, I just thought it was important that they brought up how climate change is is the single biggest factor determining views in politics. I feel like it doesn't have enough value placed on it currently. Hochschild had a great point about this.

In this session contribution was one of the main values. This was seen as I contributed by volunteering to help Special Olympics. While volunteering I aided the coach in training the athletes. Contribution is an important value in society as to achieve certain goals contribution is needed and even for us to survive someone must have contributed to our welfare. For example as a baby if our parents or guardians took care of us therefore contributing to our welfare otherwise we wouldn’t be alive as we were unable to take care of ourselves at that time. Citizens of a democratic country need to be able to contribute to society by volunteering and paying taxes otherwise the government will fall due to lack of funds. Charity is a way people contribute

Terrorism is a very big part of today’s average life and is only becoming an even bigger factor. Never has this been more apparent than after the recent terrorist attacks on Paris and San Bernardino. Now, almost daily we are presented some type of terrorist act that takes the life of many people. In response, many people talk about avenging those who died. However few actually do respond to the terrorists with more than words. I believe that this can be traced to a theory called “Diffusion of Responsibility” and the way to overcome this has already been shown to us, but we just haven’t noticed it. If we plan to overcome the many terrorist groups that take so many lives a year, we have to become aware of all the concepts in this text and use them to our advantage. These concepts include personal responsibility, not doubting your ability as an individual, and finding the correct combination of impulsiveness, logical reasoning and gut feelings.
