Students Of Accepting Personal Responsibility

He uses many rhetorical questions to provoke a desire to change oneself for the better, “What happens if we keep trudging along this bleak course? What happens if our most intelligent students never learn to strive to overcome what they are?” (Edmundson 402). If students cannot better themselves, can society ever better itself? If students have no passion for school, they will have no passion for things after college such as their jobs. They will settle for sub-par situations because it is the easy thing to do. Seeking a job raise will become too much of a hassle. Investing themselves into politics, too much of an inconvenience. Contributing to society, too much of a nuisance. They will take the easy way out, the way with the least amount of investment and passion and society will

In the novel Frankenstein, the article Prometheus and the speech “Worship the Spirit of Criticism” there are many examples of why people should hold responsibility for what they create. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is about a young man who wants to create life from death, and in doing so, it affects his life greatly. In Prometheus, There is a titan who wants to give the gift of fire to humans, but its outcome was bad, and he suffered the consequences for it. “Worship the Spirit of Criticism”, a scientist, Louis Pasteur, expresses how he feels people should take responsibility for what they create. Creators are fully responsible because what they create impacts the world in either a negative or positive way.

After learning about the ways that a Creator thinks and approaches tasks I think that I can apply certain aspects of this mindset in my own life. One important place I can apply this is in regards to the way I approach my assignments from school or work. A Creator always finds solutions to problems that they may

In many situations in my life, I have been personally accountable for my actions. Every part of being who I am has something to do with morality. Being responsible and accountable for what I do is something I take very personally. It is a key point in my personality and a critical part of being part of the US Army.

The world is constantly becoming an increasingly more dangerous place, and in this day and age, everything has a warning label. Whether it’s a hairdryer, a computer keyboard, or even a simple toy, all manufactured products and structures around us have a label stuck on the side to protect us. It seems as if at least one person has managed to hurt themselves with every product and attraction in the world. The poem “We Are Not Responsible” by Harryette Muller uses a familiar format, repetition, and underlying meanings to poke fun at the rules and norms of the society every one of us strive to achieve in.

"Some people are hustled off to college, then to the cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents" (“Matthew B Crawford”). Some people are forced to go to college because they’re parents don’t want them to be nothing and not make something

According to Downing, author of On Course, when it comes to personal responsibility, there are two ends of the spectrum: creator and victim. A creator is someone who believes they have the sole responsibility for the outcome of their life, they understand that their actions have been ineffective, and strive to change them to “create the best results they can” (21-22). Though he uses different language to explain, Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of

Due to my recent troubles at work I have been counseled twice in the past several weeks. This has given me a lot of time to reflect at the way I have really presented myself in the Army thus far. I have not always been the best Soldier that I could have been during most of the time I that I have been in so far. Thinking about this does bother me, it means that I could be trying harder to get ahead and better myself as a Soldier and a person. Lets say for example I have been late to work twice in the past several weeks not only to include missing a pt formation altogether. I did this by not ensuring that i had met alo of my neds to ensure that i woudl wake up in the morning. But by doing

One of the most important components of the social development of students, increase their accountability. Accountability means the obligation of a person to perform optimally within all activities that have been put upon him. The commitment Meaning obligation or guarantee against someone or something and know it is bound to do something. Therefore the purpose of this study was to compare the levels of accountability male and female high school student-athletes and non-athletes is the second city of Sari. The study population included all male and female students in secondary schools the public schools in Sari (11227 people) formed in 95-94 school year that their responsibility was assessed based on their point of view. The sample

Being a creator is a more positive outlook then being a victim. Some people would rather be a victim but most people would prefer to be a creator. More doors of opportunity open for a person that

9) since these individuals had likely perceived that if free will doesn’t exist, it doesn’t matter if they cheat since they were “meant” to succeed on the test. Yet, it was proven that “these people went home with more unearned cash than did the other people.” (Tierney, par. 9) Tierney’s citation of these experiments doesn’t only allude to the correlation between morality and free will, as those who were skeptical succumbed to immoral cheating, but also, supports his argument that a belief in free will betters one's performance. In the end, those who didn’t cheat because they believed they could influence the outcome of the exam got more questions correct and were more successful than those who did. He later cites another study done by Dr. Vohs and a team by psychologist Tyler Stillman, in which a sample of workers filled out questionnaires about their lives, including their beliefs, and the more one believed in free will, “the better their ratings on the job.” (Tierney, par. 14) In both cases, he therefore supports his perception and heightens his credibility as he supported his argument with scientifical, logical evidence. Likewise, by broadening the evidence to pertain to both school and work, he insinuates that free will isn’t only relevant to students, but also, working adults, which broadens the impact of his positive perception of free will to a much larger audience.

Personal responsibility to me means taking accountability for your own actions, Making a commitment and sticking to it. In order to be a success in college, you have to apply your life learned lessons to the equation, to balance both school and out of school priorities. Because You are responsible for the choices you make, you are ultimately responsible for your success. Becoming a master organizer and learning how to manage your time efficiently, will help you achieve your goals. Taking responsibility for all that happens while you are in college will help you prevail in areas, where you may have lacked confidence. Critical thinking and a desire to succeed will help you accomplish your goals.

In Professor David Mirman’s blog, You are the Prime Mover, he has written a post on the Creator and Victim mindsets. In the post, he gives an example

In the textbook it explains victim and creator the difference between the two?? is explained as such, victim is when you focus on the things that will bring us down. For example in school when you have a test even though you studied for some reason you downgrade that you will not do well do good at all. Bring that self-negative you know you will fail somehow or another. Creator is making plans for the future, setting yourself goals to accomplish things you know you want to be set on in the future. For example I would like to get a master in Catholicism then later a doctorate degree. Also you can be an inner critic, which is blaming yourself for things you know you can do better on. Second you can inner defended saying positive things to yourself

If you're not sure what the meaning of Victim or Creator is here's a definition, Victim is someone that focus on their weaknesses, they make up lies and excuses, always have a negative attitude, they blame others for their mistakes, and they give up easily. It's never good to be a victim because nobody would want to be around with all the negativity you'll have. It's always best to change before it's too late. A creator is someone who always has a positive attitude, they always want to improve, seek help from those who are more skilled, accept responsibility, and treat problems as something temporary. From what I know it's better to be a creator.From college professor Skip Downing definitions he states, Creators are people who make choices that lead to desires in life (Dowing42).
