Personal Narrative: My Personal Philosophy

Improved Essays
A philosophy is a system of beliefs and values. It is an academic discipline, a system of thinking and has values of tenants. My personal philosophy is built on a triangle. There are three key factors that make up the triangle. The first point of the triangle is personal values, the second one is based on my beliefs, ideology and my religion, the final point of the triangle is my friends and family and the social aspect of my life. Other factors have contributed in inventing the person I am now.
I have many personal values and morals. From the recent re-vamped movie version of “Cinderella”, the prologue is filled with an emotional monologue by Cinderella’s biological mother, within her speech she addresses Cinderella and tells her “to be kind, and have courage”, for a unexplained reason I seem to get emotional every time she says it. I have chosen to live by this quote; I chose to attempt to be kind and caring and to try to think of others before me. I would also like to reform my way of thinking by never saying something crude or inappropriate, this helps me to think of others.

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    Life is simply perspective. Some say that you have your whole life to do something, while others will argue that life is short and you should enjoy it to the full extent of it’s worth. You can look at something as exquisite, or atrocious. It doesn’t change what it is, but it changes your reaction to it. No matter how sure you are about the morality, someone else could view it differently.…

    My core belief: the challenges of my education, from grade school through college. The best memory that helped me push and challenge myself to be better happened when I was in the fifth grade. The Teacher gave the class a spelling test, I receive a grade of 89%. When the Teacher gave the test back she noticed the classmate next to me had the same grade. Without asking or comparing our test papers for similarities, she placed me at a desk in front of the class by myself, because she thought I cheated off his paper.…

    Tasked with crafting a personal moral philosophy, I ultimately started with one question to energize my efforts and frame the problem: what is a moral philosophy? Moral philosophy as defined by Merriam Webster dictionary is the study of human conduct and values. Conduct and values are words that I can easily identify with and thus the metacognition phase began. It is often naturally assumed that everyone can rattle off in a sentence or two, a philosophy that guides them however, I struggled with coalescing defined and abstract ideas into a coherent set of principals that represent the values, that have been shaped, modified, or changed by my life experiences. I have been conditioned, much like many organizational leaders to have an appreciation for acronyms.…

    My personal worldview has shifted a multitude of times over the course of my life, but the largest, most drastic alterations have taken place over the past nine years, from the moment I started to believe in God. One could say that part of my worldview is a belief that a worldview continues to shift as we move through our lives, learning, growing, exploring and asking the deep questions of ourselves and of others. As I reach deeper levels of maturity, authority and capacity in my relationship with Christ, I will also reach deeper levels of understanding about the universe, the world, and its’ occupants. I believe there is one true God who is the creator of all things, including the universe. I am unable to comprehend beyond this, meaning,…

    One’s values and beliefs about the world we live in are constructed through real life encounters, as well as teachings that they may have experienced though their lives. My personal paradigm is based around my ethical view on life. I adopted a consequentialist view which is also a very controversial because it brings the idea that you could make immoral decisions without consequence, as long as the outcome had benefitted the most people or had the best outcome. For me in most cases, making decisions based on the ethical morality of the means in a situation puts a stop to progress, leads to less desirable outcomes, and demonstrates actions that maybe come of as a very selfish way of making choices. There are people that say…

    I look to my right at my opponent who has just finished his speech and sits back down with a smug smile on his face. I glance at my paper where I jotted down swift notes during his speech. The clock is ticking as my prep time comes to an end and an idea rings through my anxious state. I add a couple more counter arguments while I try to find a loophole in the core idea of his case. The timer rings, ending my preparation time, and I stand up to begin my speech.…
