Many people in high school struggle to find themselves or the qualities that define them; those that do choses qualities which they feel most comfortable in. (leading sentence) These qualities shape how high schoolers are seen by their teachers, peers, and families. Certain students pick qualities in which they will be the center of attention and some students pick qualities that will allow them to blend in with the crowd. Regardless of the specific qualities, how those qualities allow someone to treat those around them has an impact of their life. Suman choses qualities that allow her to treat people with respect. (thesis)
One of these qualities is caring. Caring is a big part of the society we are born in; we are cared for from birth and we learn to care for those around us as time goes on to establish relationships. Suman is a prime example of someone who cares in day to day life in order to respect those around her. (assertion) Suman is an active member in several organizations such as UNICEF and Red Cross. (evidence) These organizations missions are to help and care for people that need help, therefore by Suman being a part of these organizations she’s showing her compassion to help those that are in trouble or are not as fortunate as her.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss (...) These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen” (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross). Compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern make mankind beautiful, but it also makes it defenseless . When one has concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others, he takes sacrifices, risks, and lives with uncertainty. When man is compassionate, he lives a vulnerable life. Love and compassion bring out the beauty in mankind, but they can also bring out its weaknesses. Because of man’s compassion, he
In chapter 1, explain us the twelve assumptions to relate our perspectives approaching our values and creativity before act. Something, we fight against our bases, beliefs, to avoid disputes. This is our natural way to react; however; it is not correct path to follow. We trail to follow our experiences, and we set them as a base to take future decisions. When we are in our comfort zone, we feel free to voice our values, and the key is to expand that in situations under pressure. We can see how proud the undergraduate feel after some collages take her as an example to follow because she denied to lie about her. In chapter2, we are motivated to look into our values and know them better to select which one are our strengthens and weakness, so we can prepare us to face any conflict. At the same time, we have to know that some values changes according our culture, and we have to respect them. This chapter mentions morals and refers them as the right of wrong of act. Those can change by our culture or backgrownds, so we have to take in consideration. In Chapter 3, freedom to voice our values is the main objective. All of us have the opportunity of express
Since the beginning of civilization education has been a big part of life. If you were educated you were considered “privileged” or “wealthy” since there was mainly private schools and universities. It was that way until 17th century, when America opened its first public High School in Boston. Ever since the opening of these new public schools people have asked themselves the simple question of, What is the role of our High Schools? High schools these days seem to be a mixture between glorified babysitting, and college preparation. This is becoming a growing problem problem in our school districts. At large High Schools, such as, Will C. Wood, there are groups of kids that are forced to attend. While some of the other kids are trying to get into harvard. Our schools are trying to zero in on what roles they should put into practice. Are they glorified babysitters? Should they press for every student to attend College? Either way the High Schools lean the other side of the argument is left unhappy creating a heated debate over the role of High Schools.I believe High School's role is a two part process the first part of High School should be devoted to general education classes; while the second most important part of High School should be focused on career preparation.
High School is one of the most prominent time in one’s life. During this time, one is taught to be financially literate, how to use grammar and punctuations wisely, be mathematically inclined and aware of different sciences. Notice how I excluded history, but there is a reason for this. History is often manipulated and told by those who are comfortable telling fabricated stories made up by the white man. This causes for students, especially African Americans have a false interpretation of their history and come to college relatively unprepared. ADW and its concepts go into the root of history without giving out false conceptions, however, it is very unfortunate that it is not taught until one’s young adult years because that is when distorted information is already drilled into their brain. ADW concepts being taught in high school such as issues of identity; the intersection of race, gender, and social class; displacement, and conditions of servitude could only lead to the enrichment of the inquiring minds of this generation, allow them to see relatable circumstances, and help diminish their ignorance of African history.

Another example of how altruism can be viewed in today’s society can be seen in the works of Mother Teresa and her plethora of altruistic acts throughout the globe. Although her focus was in India where she persued her novitiate (training), her organization has opened over 500 centers around the world helping the dying and the destitute (Moore 2002, pg. x). She took in the “untouchables” of society and gave them care and made sure that they were comfortable. Mother Teresa is often used as the benchmark when determining whether a selfless act is truly altruistic.

Honor codes are becoming very common among many American colleges. This uprising in honor codes is due to increased rates of plagiarism and dishonesty amongst many students which has become much simpler due to the advancement of the internet and smartphones. Many high schools are following suit of college in enforcing an honor code and my high school should as well. Based on my experiences and the provided sources I have read my school should enforce an honor code to prepare students for a college institution and its rules and punishments.
Credibility is basically the root of what and who you are. It goes well beyond the scope of just a noun and defines the very fine grain of a person. Credibility is composed of three contributing factors known as competence, caring, and character (Cardon, 2013). Competence is an individual's capability of how they imply their skills and knowledge to their job. Every person within a workplace, have different weaknesses and strong points.
