Value Statement
As the years go by I begin to appreciate values and ethics more. I realize how while my parent’s were right about most things I did not adopt all of their values, but I understand why their morals were so significant to them. I thought I knew everything as a kid, I had entirely different opinions than my parent’s but becoming an adult has proven me otherwise. The values that my parents introduced to me are not principles that are taught in school, but instead learned every day in the real world. I owe it to my parents for shaping me and originating a base of values because not everyone is introduced to a fundamental foundation for a successful life,
An essential demeanor, I have gained from my parents is work ethics. Coming up in the world, I learned that not everything is handed to you. I was taught direction, responsibility, and hard work. As a result of being well-informed that hard work goes a long way, I was taught the value of financial

My parent’s have done such an amazing job addressing to me valuable principles. However, acknowledging your own value system as an individual will carry you far. When you know your values you determine your priorities and can make life decisions such as, what career you should pursue.
Going back to when I said you will not inherit every value and belief as your parents. I was taught religion was important. My family and I follow the guidelines of faith. Although, I classify myself under a different branch than my parents, we have similar aspects and common values that we share.
As you encounter challenges you will realize the importance of having the ability to utilize biases among your profession. Biases can become barriers in choices or behavior if you’re not careful. A social worker interacts regularly with people from a variety of backgrounds, ethnicity, and life experiences. It is a social workers duty to understand clients despite of my differences in
Growing up our parents taught us several lessons about life values and principles that we are supposed to follow. We learn that human life is precious, we learn that we are all equal, we...
The values that I learned from my parents as an infant, child, adolescent, and, most recently, as an adult, are continually enforced and taught to me today. It is because of this strong family support that I have stayed the same as I was before entering college. My family has always preached strong family values that will be with me for the rest of my life, and will be passed on to my children and grandchildren. Some of the family values that I have learned from my family are to always respect my elders and to have good manners no matter what.
When someone asks what my values are, I always respond with the same values my family has. My family has had a huge impact on my values in today’s society. They have taught me right from wrong, if I did something wrong that meant serious consequences, talking back was unacceptable behavior etc. Growing up, I found it very hard for me to communicate with someone who has different values than I do. Once I graduate from Slippery Rock in May, I will have a degree in social work and plan to work in the Child Welfare system. With wanting to be a social worker, I need to work on my realizing my values are not that same as everyone else’s values. In this paper, I will be talking about values, but more specific values in social work.
Nothing is a better experience for a parent than watching their child grow into who they were taught to be. It turns out that 66% of parents intend to and do raise their children with the same life lessons, good or bad, that they were exposed to when they were young (Murray). Raising a family requires values, which evolve into ethics, and are crucial to a successful family. This shows that values are what keep the family in their desired lifestyle. Diversity of values in American families, through morals and tradition, is key to what makes this country so unique.
A value system is a rational set of morals brought up by an organization, society, or an individual as a norm of guidance towards their behaviors (Hebel, 1998). Almost all the time, people depend on these fundamental principles on what is wrong and right. Whether one is aware of it or not, different sets of personal core values vary upon each person. Such values include integrity, authenticity, compassion, courage, and truthfulness to name a few. Your values define who you are. At times, there is a huge gap between how people become aware of their values and the way they live their lives. We can overcome our most difficult beliefs, habits, and challenges by setting them aside and replacing them with the true values that conform to our lives. Anything that is considered destructive or jeopardizing towards our development professionally and personally should be put aside (“How Values,” n.d.). Understanding our core values doesn’t just simply give us direction and guidance towards living a purposeful life, but it gives us sentimental fulfillment and happiness while at the same time bettering ourselves to become better people.
Since ancient times when David and Goliath was fighting for their division people had values. As human beings we never take the moment or the extent to set up a blue print for our beliefs, customs, modes of conduct, qualities, or goals we just have this unspoken language of knowing what they are. However, what if one was assign to write a paper about their values but could only identify three. One may have second thoughts about what he or she decided, I know I did. In this essay I will be answering questions and discussing the top Three values I came to conclusion. The three values that I hold close to my heart are family, richness, and determination. The principles were feed to me throughout my childhood era. During this period, making
Some of the values that guide me to make decisions are my relationship with God, caring for my family and myself, caring for others, achieving my education, obtaining my career, and my integrity. My relationship with God keeps me focused on what is important. Care for others and myself, I will always try my best to help those in need, like my family, peers, and anyone else. My educational goals will lead to my desired career to be a social worker. My integrity keeps me sincere and honest in everything I do.
When it comes to family I was raised to be respectful of others but still speak my mind if I had an opinion. I was also raised to respect women which is something you do not see often in American culture anymore. I was taught that I am supposed to open a door or give up my seat to a woman. As a kid you do these things because this is the way we are taught; one you grow up you realize that showing people respect is the right thing to do so you continue doing it. The biggest influence my family had on me was teaching me the value of kindness and the power of knowledge. As a kid I was taught to work hard and then have fun later; sort of like the saying people say "work hard and play hard". My parents dropped out of college so that they could give my sisters and I the opportunities they didn't have, this is the reason I have learned the value of hard work and knowledge. I was also taught to be honest as my parents believed that lies don't get people anywhere and if you tell the truth then you never have to remember a lie. All together I think my parents were trying to teach us to act with integrity and not let others think for us. These influences seem to first be deontological, when I was young I followed these rules because that is what I was taught. Now they appear to be virtuous to me, I still do these things because they seem like somethi...
There are so many things that are important to me, but only a few that could greatly affect my life if I didn’t have or accomplish them. The biggest things to me are success, family, and freedom. These are all things that are essential to my life in so many different aspects.
I am fortunate to have realized my faith in god in early years of my life and experiences in life have only strengthened my faith; I was born and raised in a small town in India and my elementary to undergraduate education has been from a Christian, catholic school, Convent of Jesus & Mary, a congregation established by Mother Claudine Thevnet who wanted to undertake the education of girls in India. It was in school, I first experienced the introduction to Christianity and my family being Hindu resonated a lot of common values being taught at school. Since there was no conflict in my values learnt at school and those at home, these were only deepened and have become an important part of my personality. As a result of my upbringing and my education, memories of my faith are amongst my earliest. I believe in the presence of god and I believe that god has bigger plans for me. My education and my family has integrated values in me for respecting, accepting, understanding other members of the society. Hinduism taught me how to be respectful and tolerant to others, it taught me that I need to understand that I am a human and I am here to serve and help others in need. There have been times when faced with difficult challenges in life and I have followed the path laid by god, ignorance went away and I found solutions and answers to the problems and challenges that I faced.
Throughout life a lot of individuals realize their personal values. One of my personal values is
During everyone 's lifetime, there is always something we hold closest to our hearts; it maybe our principles we live by, values, and even our own beliefs. Values are those things that are very important to us but never really realize how much we actually value them in our life. Have you ever been asked to define three of your main values and rip them up? I have and I never noticed how much they meant to me. Each and every one of us believes in our own personal values. These values are what gives us strength and strive us to do what makes us happy. These values are very important to us and are standards that we live by whether we realize it or not. Everyone has something we value including me. Some of the values I might think highly of,
The many principles that my parents have taught me is to be outgoing, but most importantly an educated person, for allowing me to become what I am today, a respectful mature young lady.
There were many instances in my life that have shaped my values, intellect, and academic or career goals. I was raised by my parents to become a hard worker, independent, and caring young adult. I was taught how to be all these qualities by a combination of experiencing and witnessing them first hand.
Growing up, my parents, they always told me keep my grades up, to never put important things aside. They said learn from them, they had my oldest sister at a young age and they were not able to graduate or go back to continue educating them self. They struggle for so long, from buying themselves clothes, to paying the mortgage. Always put school first, work on myself to have the life I want when I am older, my parents said. Saying that, I believe; all the money I am spending, sacrifices I am making, skills I am gaining, and being able to say I fulfilled my goal will be worth it in about seven years for me.
