Characteristics Of A Good Neighbor Essay

Improved Essays
Register to read the introduction… Some people may frown upon it; others might nod their heads at it with their whole-hearted smile on their faces. No matter which category you belong to, as a person, especially as a person who has to live next to a neighbor, the concern on the qualities of a good neighbor is always a popular issue to bring about and to desire for. In my opinion, a good neighbor must be a friendly person, while at the same time, a person who is willing to offer help to you when you need the most.

As an important and fundamental quality of a good neighbor, she or he must be kind and nice. Neighbors are those persons we meet in everyday life when we go in and out of building. They are usually the people we meet at the very beginning of the day, and whom again we will encounter at the end of the day. A nice and sincere smile on their faces, or a simple “hello” as a warm greeting on the way, may bring us a joyful mood for a start of a day. In a very same way a caring “how was your day?” on your way home might be treated as a big comfortable on your tiredness at the end of your working day.

Through our entire lives, there are numerous difficulties or troublesome situations that we have to deal with. When those particular monuments come into life, the first person come into our mind is often our best friend or one the relatives. However, most of the time, they cannot be the real person who we can rely on at those hard times. We will soon realize they are either too far away or they are unavailable right now. We all have once had these similar experiences. Then here is the moment where good neighbors should begin to play their helpful roles so that we can immediately turn to them for help and useful roles so that we can immediately turn to them for help and useful advice for dealing and solving the emergency, and so that we do not have to lose our minds in trying to find everyone’s phone

    In this article, David Brooks talks about a gay couple who were denied a wedding cake. He discusses there are two paths to follow when this happens- the neighborly way, or the legal way. The neighborly way would be for the couple to say that they understand the bakers don’t agree with same sex marriage but to offer them a chance to get to know them to see if they could change their mind.

Brooks near the end of this article says that while he does support same sex marriage, he thinks they made the wrong approach about it.…

    Volf, in the introduction his book, A Public Faith, asks some questions such as, should religion stay out of politics or should religion brings its vision of what it means to have a good life into politics? (x). My position is yes, religion should bring its vision of what it means to have a good life into politics, but not totalitarianism; instead pluralism in all societies. Actually, in the USA people are blessed to freely exercise their religion, but not impose it to others, according to the constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”…

    Often times realities become too harsh to a point that people try to escape from their realities to find a comfort place, such as a "secret garden" or by falling into a rabbit hole to Alice 's Wonderland. Similarly in Flannery O ' Connor triad of short stories, " Good Country People", “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” and “Everything that Rises Must Converge , Connor uses characterization, ironic tone, and setting to show that escaping from life consequences has dangerous consequences, both physically and psychologically. In similar ways each protagonist believes that they are superior to others, this characteristic obstructs any sensible commitment with reality. In "“Good Country People” , Joy (Hulga) believes that she is intellectually superior…

    Have you ever heard anyone talk about a neighborhood and speak awfully about it? Or even spoken to someone and they begin to talk and say bad things or not true about the neighborhood or the neighborhoods you hang around in. This can easily be, because they have just heard the awful things from the neighborhood and never have really been to that neighborhood and just see how people act from that neighborhood. Here I will show that people can say wrong things about neighborhoods but yet may not mean it but can easily offend not just one person but a whole community as well cause short and long term harm. .…

    Allyship Essay Examples

    • 1462 Words
    • 6 Pages

    When discussing social change, one of the things we mentioned that is important in the social change movement was allyship. To me, being an ally means fighting for equality of groups of people who are marginalized, even though the issue being fought for does not directly affect a person who is an ally because they are not a part of the marginalized group. When fighting for equality, an ally’s role is to listen and support the marginalized. They listen so as to better understand what the marginalized groups are going through and, this helps them better support those groups. Allyship also requires one to acknowledge that they have a privilege that a certain marginalized group lacks.…
