The Love Comes Softly By Janette Oke

I believe that a value is something that is important to an individual and the values that I believe in play a very important role in my life. My values are greatly influenced by my family. My values include family, health, being respectful and non-judgmental. I also value my daughter, my friends and being honest. I believe that a value is something that you should assign love and

Values are standards and principals by which we live our lives. These standards are many and often depend on people`s background e.g. Culture, class, religion, gender, age. Values are extremely individual attitudes that direct people`s responses to the world around them. Amongst some of the values I live my life by and respect are privacy allowing me to have space to myself and respecting the fact that others may desire privacy, to be safe and also allowing others the same, having self respect, being trustworthy, being non judgmental, being anti discriminatory, respect life and faith, value freedom and equality, value choice and others points of view. I have learned to live my life this way from my parents and their families. The schools

You’ll be mine and I’ll be yours. Everything will be perfect until one screws up, but what if no one screws up? Yes, if no one screws up you made it to the finish line of a “happily ever after”. Love is such a crazy thing, one day is alive and growing and the next is fading until it completely dies. Everyone will have their own view on love, but love is vague, for one knows about today but not about tomorrow. In her critique of love, “Against Love,” Laura Kipnis offers a judgmental version of what constitutes “real love”. She questions whether we truly desire love, or rather, are conditioned to. She asserts that social forms accustomed us to pursue a love life so that we are entertained and wanted. But everyone has a different opinion on the matter. In his short story, “What We Talk about When We Talk about Love,” Raymond Carver tells the story of four different individuals in which he explores the perceptions of love by referring to their beliefs and experiences. One of the four characters, Mel, seems to have an unclear perspective on love himself as he questions his love life and asserts that everyone is entitled to look for love when is missing. If Mel was to have a conversation with Kipnis they would agree and disagree on certain ideas, for they both are able to understand the complexity of the matter. Mel would agree with Kipnis that society forces one to feel like a failure when love dies and that people move on because society expects us to, as he questions his

I had learned these core values from my family, teachers/professors, peers and myself. While I was younger to the age I am now, I was shown how important it is to have strong characteristics that make you a person. Everything I had been through I had lost and gain some of the values along the way of my life. I will admit not all of these came at once; it took much time to see the importance of my life and progress what’s left in it. Most of the time, when I was stuck I’d ask for advice and see how others got

I personally value GOD, my well being, happiness, and integrity. All of these values shape how I live and conduct myself in interactions with others as well as how I operate as an business woman. My values keep me grounded so I am able to easily make decisions in the best interest of my family and myself. Everything I have accomplished in life truly goes back to what I value in life and how I was raised.

Initially, the top three values I believe that are the most important are; order, equal opportinity, and compassion. I believe that it is important to have order so that everyone does not do whatever they want, whenever they want. There needs to be rules that people need to abide by so that everything does not turn into chaos. Furthermore, equal opportunity is important so that everyone has a chance at succeeding. It if not right for a certain gender or ethnicity get to succeed and no one else gets to. Likewise, it is important to have compassion. I personally believe it would be terrible if no one cared about anyone else besides themselves. People need to understand other individuals view in order to get a clear understanding of the world. We do not all revolve around ourselves, we revolve around each other. Therefore, we need to be there for others in their time of need so that they can be there for us in our time of need. In all, it is

Values can vary from person to person. With this being said, common values include religion, freedom, and high achieving. Throughout the early years Native Americans valued their religion in the literature. When the class was given the first few assignments there were many poems with the Native Americans valuing their religious views. (Prezi Introduction: Native Voices) Likewise, freedom and being high achieving can tie into one another.

The last two personal core values that represent who I am is family and communication. Without my family I would not be a caring individual. As the oldest child in my family, I learned how to communicate to my mother when my siblings and I were encountering hardships with other individuals. I learned from home what communication consist of and the importance of

Values play a major role in how I live my life and they are extremely important to who I am as a person. Many of the values I have come from experiences I have encountered, things I have read, or just personal intuition. Some values that I have are compassion, equality, honesty, justice, and openness. All of these values play are extremely important to me and all of them in different ways.

Early in life you don’t know of the nuances. As I went into my teen years, things began to gray. I don’t mean that in a bad way, but that those nuances to good and bad began to show themselves and that made defining my value structure a bit more difficult. I grew up surrounded by educators and coaches, both family and friends. They helped a lot in the formation of my values that helped shape my ethics structure. Here are a few of the values that I believe to be of great importance in no particular order Good.

Another value that is very important to me is my family. My family plays a big role in my life, since they have taught me all my cultural values, such as respect for elderly. When I tell funny and embarrassing childhood stories about myself, I usually share these with family members or with really

For my life the thing that I value is my family and friends, exercising and participating in sports, and finally going to and getting an education. I chose these specific topics because I feel like these are incredibly important to almost everyone in the world. Each of the values have a enormous amount of appreciation because first of all, people need all three, family, exercise, and education. I have never felt so close to my family before, because they have been preparing me to be able to leave and somehow manage to stay a float when it was time to grow up. Just because your family is getting you ready for real life and trying to see how independent you can be, doesn’t mean they are not still going to help you with any questions you have. Exercising arguably the
