For example, I have been told from an early age that lying is wrong. My experiences as I have grown older, and the constant reminder from my parents have only shown this value to hold consistent moral worth. However, my education, socialization and firm faith have only been the stepping stones to becoming a righteous individual. As a thinking, rational being, I see it as my duty to take this basis to a higher level. I must be able to critique my thought processes and analyze them in order to understand fully the roots of my very existence.
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... ... middle of paper ... ... open discourse civilly of course; I believe this is why I was taught to think critically so that I can have an opinion in a discussion not an argument. To me civility is the concept of respecting others as human beings and not just objects, this value allows us to live in a society with harmony. Civility is the one thing that truly separates us from animals.
Their innocence to the world around them needs to be cherished for as long as it can last in the vicious world we live in leaving me willing to die for it to last just a little while longer. Letting them continue their considered ignorance to their surroundings that makes them just so innocent. While their potential and impending future gets us thinking about what could be possible and wanting to keep all possibilities open for achievement. Meanwhile the fact that my future child is family makes them my responsibility in life and it is my duty to lead them to a better, fulfilling life. Dying for them and sacrificing myself would be the right and moral decision to make.
Unhealthy patterns of thinking and behaving that I had unknowingly perpetuated from my father, I can now recognize and choose to think and act differently. As a leader, this issue helps me to be a more grace-based leader. I can respond with love and acceptance even when someone fails. Another positive contribution of my family-of-origin issues is the heart of compassion and sensitivity to others that developed in response to the emotional neglect of my father. Although this is definitely a strength and God has used this to develop me as a relational leader, it stands as a cautionary reminder to not allow that strength to become boundaryless to the point of burnout.
I think that my family has positively affected my life through treating me like I^m a person, something that gets hurt easily. Does education really affect the way I am? Maybe not directly, but indirectly. Education is a means of teaching some values, but that^s not education^s main purpose. Education teaches us about a great many things.
Honesty and obliging, obliging means to be helpful. My parents always have taught me to say the truth, no matter what they consequences were, it would be better so say the truth because one way or another the lie is going to come out and the consequences are going to be worse. To always be up front and fair, with myself and the people surrounding me. Sometimes we meet people that just are not honest, it could be from job, school, business, etc, and it just comes to a point where you just get tired of it and wouldn 't like to hang out with those people, because of their actions. We are all people with the same right and values, all wanting to be respected with fairness.
Values come from beliefs. For example, when I think of my values or I am trying to change a value because of a certain reason, I always start with what my beliefs are and go back to my values. In my own opinion, values should be something that pushes and motivate someone to be a better person. Everyone has values and they might not be the best values but if I was a social worker, I would have to get over that and still continue to provide them with service that they need. It doesn’t matter what someone’s values are, as long as they strongly believe and motivate them to be a better
While self-esteem should be something that your parents should nurture and encourage, I know that it is possible to work on by yourself. It takes motivation and a yearning for independence and success. It requires one to come out of their shell and by putting themselves out there while taking chances. We should know that self-esteem can be a part of destruction in one’s life or to be something that will carry us higher and higher to achieve more and be more. The topic of self-esteem relates to everything in my life.
First, I should focus on what philosophies I will adhere to as an educator. At best, I can describe my philosophy as a combination of the well-established, almost timeless philosophies of idealism and realism. The idealist in me views discipline the same as do other idealists. Handling student misbehavior and misconduct is a personal issue that I will handle with the student privately. Only after several of these attempts fail or the misconduct is so severe will I involve a third party such as parents or administrators.
One of the main similarities between my family and I is probably our attitudes towards life. Both my parents and my grandparents taught me the importance of staying positive, even in negative situations. Everyone goes through rough patches in life, and that philosophy that my family taught me has helped me get through lots of bad times in my life. Also even though my family has background in being Catholic, even my traditional, old fashion grandmas have taught me to be open to other people’s differences. Differences can be different religions, cultures, and even sexuality.
