The Controversy Of Looking Good In The Public Eye

Many of us try to be someone we’re not just to fit in, be liked and wanted. Knowing self-worth is one of the top few topics, we seem to have a hard time understanding and even felt that it can be challenging. “For each situation, identity a dramatic title to represent the image you try to create” (Adler, Proctor, Towne, 79). Is it hard to believe that one self can feel the need to be able to change our persona just so we can feel powerful? “Research shows that, in the right circumstances, all response styles can help others accept their situation, feel better, and have a sense control over their problems” (Adler, Proctor, Towne, 273). We all seek understanding; overall we all love the attention right?

Volunteering on teams will make the employees feel that they are a valuable part of what Company Q is doing to give back to the community. A model example of this behavior is that of Toms and their “One for One” campaign. “Toms’ employees participate in an annual Shoe Drop where they travel and donate a variety of goods to children. Their careers page specifically calls for employees that want to change lives and be a part of a movement” (Forman-Ortiz, 2013). If an employee feels that they are a valuable member of the company, the positive energy will most likely carry over to their day to day tasks. They will want to give good customer service and continue to help people. This aspect of social responsibility is a positive for the food bank, employees, customers from the community, and Company Q.

I’ve observed it in my sisters and friends too many times to count—double and triple checks in the mirror, glances at every reflective surface, and guarded smiles for photographs. We live in a society that preaches the importance of self-worth, while simultaneously giving us endless, unattainable examples of perfection in the form of TV shows, celebrity Instagram accounts, and photoshopped advertisements. Beauty standards are set far too high by the media, and this results in plummeting levels of self-confidence in girls of all ages. Due to this skewed view on the importance of looks, it has become impossible for girls to differentiate between their God-given beauty and the reflection that they strive to see in the mirror.

In the sense of the word, charity, means to be generous with one’s own resources, not out of a sense of pity but out of a sense of a relationship with and concern for others (Jeavons, p. 207). Nonprofit organizations depend on the generosity of their supporters, which they get by showing their generosity to others as well. For example, when I held an internship with the William and Lanaea C. Featherstone Foundation, one key element my boss etched into our brains was that if you do not show generosity to others you will not receive it back. This was done at our nonprofit by going to every event by supporting every organization that generously donated to us. We showed our gratitude with our presence and charity to organizations that showed it to us. In my opinion, reciprocation of generous actions is what an ethical practice in nonprofits delivers

On September 19, 2015 I volunteered at an event called Enduring Soldiers. At this event the rest of the JROTC students that volunteered and I helped get the food organized and set up before the actual event started. After we got everything organized we served food to the people that were attending this event. While we spent hours serving the food we decided that we would entertain the people at this event so we came up with a motto “Serve with a joke”. After the people finished eating we went around picking up the trash and cleaning up the tables. As I volunteered at this event for our veterans I think it was a great way of giving back to our community and our military services. As a citizen I think volunteering in anyway is a great way

Beauty standards are portrayed everywhere: on magazines, social media, ads, commercials, and even flaunted among peers. While the ideals are supposed to promote health awareness, fitness motivation, and self love, it unfortunately results in many unfavorable consequences. Women are constantly “penalized for not being beautiful and at the same time are stigmatized, even pathologized, for not feeling beautiful, for having low self-esteem, for engaging in behaviors like dieting and excessive exercising, or for having eating disorders” (Johnston and Taylor 954). Beauty standards are unrealistic and unhealthy to pursue, and misinforms the public on what true beauty is. While not all beauty image ideals promote negative feelings and dissatisfaction, many believe that the negative effects far outweighs any positive effects.

One time, my mom and I saw a homeless man on the side of the street often, so we decided to put together a care bag for him. The bag consisted of socks, gloves, non-perishable food, and some hygiene items. We stopped the car where the man was standing and we gave him the care bag and $10. The smile on his face was so warm and genuine, and I’ll never forget that warm feeling of helping someone. Now, I don’t think it’s right or needed to praise someone for helping someone out like I did because they should want to help other people anyways. I

There are many reasons why people participate in charitable events, one reason of which is the incentives or rewards being offered for their deeds. In today's society, it is morally acceptable to offer incentives in exchange for charitable events because in the long run nobody gets hurt. Offering incentives as means for participation is an inescapable part of life in today's world, are mutually beneficial, and can set lifelong habits, therefore, making incentives a positive effect in society.

The media has made a huge impact on how individuals see themselves. Media has made it easier for society to box people into specific standards, especially women. We see it everywhere as a society, on television, the internet, in magazines, and even on billboards. Pictures and videos all over that show society's beauty standard which is "skinny". A narrative that all women must compete with. To be attractive is to be skinny and women will try to reach this standard, no matter what the cost is even if it happens to be their own health. Eating disorders arise from a person's internal conflict that stems from personal problems such as low self-esteem and lack of control. So we have to ask ourselves, why do so many people personal problems lead

Volunteering has shown me how blessed I am and motivates me to give back to those who are not as privileged. As I move forward into the next phase of my life, volunteering will be a priority. Volunteering is the tool I will continue to use to practice servant leadership. The lessons of love and acceptance of others that I have learned while giving of myself, will be priceless as I navigate this ever shrinking world. I will continue to live my life knowing that others need help; and, it is never a bad thing to lend a helping

First, Volunteering helps advance your career. If you’re looking to start a new career, volunteering can help you meet people in the field. Per the article, “Volunteering and its Surprising Benefits,” it says, “Your volunteer work might also expose you to professional organizations or internships that could be of benefit to your career.” This shows that you volunteer at hospital because that is your future job and it ends up being where you work at for your career. Also, Volunteering allows you to try on different organizations, roles, issues, and more without job hopping. The hiring managers value volunteerism. It can help you stand out when selecting candidates.

As businesses/business people try to separate themselves from their competitors and make themselves stand out it is important for them to build a reputation that conforms to their values. Many do so by sponsoring nonprofits or charity organizations and donating money to these organizations. At the same time volunteering is also a reoccurring factor for many of these businesses/business people. By volunteering in the community it allows for them to grow closer to their community and it creates interactions which lead to better relationships within the society in which they live. Also for businesses it allows the employees to work together as a team which in turn can come back to help in the work environment for

To quote the much admired actress EmmaWatson, “There’s nothing interesting about looking perfect—you lose the point. You want what you are wearing to say something about you, about who you are.” And ladies, that exactly is the whole point of fashion. Fashion lets you speak about yourself without having to talk. Read on to find out more on bringing out the fashionable you.

Some people may view this as selfish, but there is nothing wrong with doing a charitable action to feel satisfied themselves. In fact, it is nearly impossible to do any kind of charity work and not feel positive about it, therefore there would be no unselfish actions in the world. For example, I volunteer at a horse barn where disabled people learn to ride horses, and I definitely feel good about myself every week that I go there, but I don’t flaunt what I do to others in order to gain praise or attention. Next, people may volunteer or donate because they wish to help others and make the world a better place. This is an obvious intention of doing charity work, but it is a motive involved when doing the action. In fact, in perspective three this is mentioned as the only motive for people to commit charitable acts. This is definitely not the only intention of performing charity work, because there are

Beauty standards have been socially constructed in diverse and various shapes in every society or culture in the world, and cause people to think they are not beautiful if they do not fit the common standard of beauty that has been set by the society. Most people are pressured into the standard by the social milieu. The people who are different from the socially pursued standard of beauty do not think the standard itself is absurd, but they rather tend to be insecure about their appearance. Once people see the beauty through individual’s perspective, not through the socially constructed standard, they would realize how much they have unconsciously forced each other to be fit in the beauty standard. This is something that I have also experienced. I was not a person who fit in the standard of beauty, and that made me shy and timid. However, once I saw myself through a different perspective of beauty, I could see it as a social problem that unconsciously forces one particular standard of beauty.
