Personal Decision Essay

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird shows that it is better to make decisions based personal beliefs rather than society's expectations. Three characters who make decisions based on their own conscience are Mr. Heck Tate near the night of Bob Ewell’s death, Atticus with the Tom Robinson case, and (to be decided). The night of Bob Ewell was killed Mr. Heck Tate was forced to make a choice. He knew that Boo was the one who killed Bob Ewell but he thought that it would be best if Boo didn't

Decisions of the Past Throughout history, innovations have made modern life more stabilized. For me, the past represents a learning process that led us to the growth of today, which is evident through The Civil Rights Movement, the medical advancements and the evolution of the churches. Martin Luther King was a man of many words. He contributed to the African American Civil Rights Movement. By not standing up for his beliefs, colored people may not have had rights to this day. My knowledge leads

can only withstand a lifetime. What really matters most in my life now that I think more towards the future, is how I manage my diet to live my life in fulfillment and in great health. And, looking back, I admit that I’ve made regrettable health decisions because I wasn’t all that too concerned about it nor was I informed of any useful knowledge like I am today.  It’s only until recently(after years of pretty much eating whatever the hell I want) that I’m determined to develop and sustain a genuinely

Censorship is a Personal Decision "One man's vulgarity is another's lyric." Justice John M. Harlan, Cohen v. California (1971) It is probably no accident that freedom of speech is the first freedom mentioned in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The Constitution's framers believed that freedom of inquiry and liberty

There was a time when we all were young and stupid, we all have made these decisions that made us learn from them, and there was a time in my life when I have made a really dumb decisions and was a step away from being dead. It seems to me like it never happened, I was around four years old and didn’t go to school. All of this was happening in my old place in a two story house where we started to leave as soon as we came from Russia. My sister came from school early for some reason and had to watch

How do you make decisions together as a team? How do you, as a team, seek God’s direction and will in the midst of challenging times and a multitude of paths? The term that I most often use for the current season of decision making at my church is “paint by numbers”. I do not mean this in a flattering way, but rather hope to suggest that in many ways our leadership is relying on strategic planning, numeric (both human and financial) motivations, and precedent set by other churches to make important

of one single life defining decision. What if the job that you've been dreaming of since you were a child is offered to you, but you later find out that it's merely a nightmare in disguise? What if the beautiful apartment on the 18th floor overlooking Seattle's stunning skyline that you just bought at an unbelievable price turns out to be overflowing with termites? People might think I'm just being dramatic, but how can they feel so safe making such critical decisions? Change was my greatest fear

Undecided Decisions “You lied about everything,” She told me “Nothing you’ve ever told me has been true.” I woke up on a beautiful Friday morning, with the sun shining through my window. I knew today was going to be a good day. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. “Someone’s in a good mood.” my dad chuckled “Yea it’s so nice today!” I said smiling “You’re crazy.” My dad just shook his head while chuckling. I just smiled and sat down for breakfast, my dad had made my

Fate and personal decisions are often mixed up because both come to a person naturally without thought about how their future outcome might be like. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare fate and personal decisions comes between the two lovers. All though many claim that the death of Romeo and Juliet was fate it was the personal choices the two lovers made because both decided to stay together knowing their families did not get along together well at all and picked to kill themselves

street, and in the other there is a mother pushing her daughter in a stroller. What do you do? In this situation there is no right answer, but one will surely not be blamed as it was a decision made is a split second. Now imagine you’re in the same situation, but the car is self driving. In the self driving car this decision has to be pre-determined, engineered into the car's computer. This is a moral conundrum is not of science fiction, it is happening today as the self driving technology comes closer
