The Greatest Role Model And Favorite Influencer Will Always Be My Dad

To become a better community member, one must practice altruism. Altruism is the display of good deeds for the well-being of others. In Martin Luther King Jr.’s letter, “On Being a Good Neighbor”, King tells the story of a good Samaritan and how he participated in all types of altruism by helping the community members around him. King says that because the Samaritan showed universal altruism, “He had a piercing insight into that which is beyond the eternal accidents of race, religion, and nationality” (558). This Samaritan does not let race, religion, or nationality limit his good deeds. This is how King defines universal altruism. One can become a stronger community member by displaying universal altruism because every day we judge people by their race, religion, or nationality. We are naturally biased, but if we let go of the prejudice and biased thoughts then we can do better service and deeds for the members of our community. Through my

It realty shouldn't take much put of a person to help others. Although the video didn't show one of life's greatest friend (Karma) which is basically. What goes around comes back around. This would have been a great scene to add in the video. To show the audience that helping others will always return to you. Instead it showed a man that wanted to give to people and did not want anything in return. This video took a total turn that I wasn't expecting. This is a story of a kind and humble man. That wants nothing in return but peace. This message could also be trying to encourage others to become more generous. But we all know in today's society , this is pretty much nonexistence. There is so much violence going on in today's world. So many people want to be the chief and filled with pride. Then there are some that just wants to be heard. But the High Seat is not looking around to see the bigger picture, and how it is affecting families. Plenty countries in this world needs help with educational funding, housing development, and employment opportunities. We all know that the government ,or High Seat has the will to help the countries and communities with their financial struggles. It all starts off with basic foundation of success. No education, no future career goals, no life. Instead very few people are taking matters into their own hands, such as the man in the video. Doesn't really look like he

Throughout history, less fortunate people around the world have been ignored. Only a few have stood up and have devoted their own time in order to help these people through strong faith. It’s time to take initiative, make a change in the world, and do more for others than we do for ourselves.

I wasn’t aware of the importance of doing good for others, until recently that I witnessed it with my own eyes. It all started when was at Chicago, a random man helped out a homeless man and bought him some food. I noticed as I was in line that the cashier then gave the helping man a free choice to pick something he wanted due to the action he did. After that day I began to make an attempt at helping out more and being a better person in general.

There is a quote by Edward Everett Hale that the president of Randolph Community College, Robert Shackleford, states in every one of his speeches: “I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do. And by the grace of God, I will.” This quote inspires me to make a change in my community. There is a way to help people in everything you do.

When I was eight years of age, I started to realize that there was an entire word outside of the town, state, and country that I lived in. I became concerned about the lives of others, even those that I didn’t know personally. I often thought “There are people in other countries that don’t even have enough water to live, and I am living an amazing life here in America”. Not only was I concerned for those people, but I took action to help them. It was then that I started a fundraiser to raise money for people that can’t afford the basic necessities to live in third world countries. To this day, I have been saving every penny I could afford to make sure other people can live a better life.

Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on it. Pablo Casals

Our world is forever changing; it seems like we are constantly facing new challenges every day. In today’s world altruism and humanitarianism should be one of our main focuses as a society rather than the self-serving ones.

Making a difference isn’t an easy assignment to do, but if an individual does, they become a hero. Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr, and Gandhi are three heros of the past that will never be forgotten. Their moral integrity is what made them so memorable. Posterities to come will always have these men’s actions and decisions on their minds. Even though some people might have their own opinions, they will always be remembered as “the men who made a difference”.

Growing up, we are all surrounded by people who shape our future. They shape your thoughts, actions and even interests. In my life, my dad has influenced that the most. When someone asks me to describe my dad, I find it one of the hardest things to do, but the least I can say is that he is an intelligent, sacrificing man. When I was seven years old, my family moved here to the U.S. My father had sacrificed by leaving the country in which he spoke its language, work that he worked years on building, and the place where he grew up and shared his memories. All that was for my bother and myself, and on top of that my father never failed to remain a refuge to me. I can’t help but remember this one day, where I came home from school, because I was hardly able to make friends. He came inside my room, sat beside me on the bed, and took me in his warm, comforting arms. Between every tear and the other I was fighting to catch my breath, and in doing that, I was able to smell his Bond No. 9, reminding me that he was right there. Right there to wipe away any worry I had within me. He always knows exactly how to make things right, and helped me do what was in the best interest for me. In the tragic play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, we see quite an interesting father: Lord Capulet. The conflicting personality of Lord Capulet progresses throughout the book. Lord Capulet is considered a democratic tender father, but is flawed with being submissive to the society around him,

Helping others is more than giving to them it is also being open to receiving in return. One of the most powerful things is mutual human interaction where both people gain something in return. Dr. Shriver

Most people in today’s world are self-absorbed. It seems as if everything they do is in order to benefit themselves. In The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Franklin writes, “few people in public affairs act from a meer view of the the good of their country, yet men primarily considered that their own and their country’s interest was united, and did not act from a principle of benevolence” (73). In our society, businesses donate to charities to gain more customers, superstars fund organizations to improve their image, and students volunteer to improve their resumes. Most people ask “what is in it for me?” rather than “what can I do to improve this organization or person?” Throughout Franklin’s book, it became clear to me that he was acting on the principle of benevolence. He was constantly bettering society through his deeds with no regard to his own gain. Learning how Franklin ingrained benevolence into his daily life caused me to reflect on the benevolence present in my life. I realized that my mom is a primary example of benevolence. I also see that I lack the trait, but can work on it, and see that it can be displayed through small acts of kindness.

Dr. Steve Maraboli, a behavioral scientist, once said, “Every single time you help somebody stand up, you are helping humanity rise” (“goodreads” n.pag.). People’s positive view on society is dependent on someone stepping up and helping out someone that could use a boost. In troublesome situations, people do not always have a positive figure to stand up for them, but when they do, this can affect people’s positive outlook on the world.

On Trevor McKinney’s first day of his seventh grade year his social studies teacher, Eugene Simonet, assigned the whole class an assignment that would be something they would try to do during the whole year. The assignment was, “Think of an idea to change our World — and put it into action.” After being assigned the assignment Trevor knew what to do. He then came up with “pay-it-forwardism.” This is when one does a selfless act for three people, and then those people do the same for three more people and so on and so forth.

Remember your influences. Abuse his power with all his decisions. Decisions that turned into a deep deep depression . I finally did it. I surpassed my father in in supremacy as a public figure. This company I built the Xation is the biggest record label in the world , something daddy never accomplished. I don’t resent being compared to him . I just simply unappreciative with no matter what i accomplish i get overshadowed by what he achieved.
