Everyone views human emotion and character differently. One important character trait is honor. Honor is having good morals, standards, values, and having great respect. Some people say that throughout time, honor has stayed consistent and others think that it has changed. The idea of honor has changed over time as well as being affected by culture. Honor in the past was very different than how it is viewed now. According to Brett McKay and Chris Hutcheson in their article An Affair of Honor-…

differ through different societies. We acquire culture by associating with others. A person cannot possess culture, in a sociological sense it is “shared”. When we are born, the people involved in your social life, i.e. parents share their beliefs, values, traditions, morale, etc. with their families, and they learn it; which bring us to the next cultural characteristic: culture is “learned”. Learning a culture becomes a behavior. I.e. we learn to greet, dress, express, eat, etc. depending…

Moral values are a standard of right and wrong. Everyone has some kind of moral value that they believe in. Whether it is respect, honesty, loyalty, etc. In the book, The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger and in the movie Donnie Darko both of the main characters, Holden and Donnie had certain moral values that they both believed in when it came to living their lives. They believed that these moral values make them better people and help them make the rest of the world better. Both of the…

Throughout the last week I have been able to learn how personal values effect the counseling relationship in various ways. One thing that I was able to remind myself of is that everyone brings a unique perspective to the table. Every client has their own set of values in the same way that every counselor does. One thing I have been able to learn as to not shy away from those personal values in a professional setting but to try and fully understand them for the benefit of myself and especially of…

Integrity is an extremely important quality to have. It is even more important when entering a job in the medical field. Integrity allows for a healthy relationship between physicians and their patients. It encourages physicians to do the right thing, even if it may not be the easiest option for them. Without integrity, patients wouldn't get the care that they need and deserve. To me, integrity means to be ethical and honest. When dealing with patients, one should respect their privacy and do…

Throughout my life I have always thought of how I should value my life. In a positive way not focusing on the negatives and just enjoy life. In a hopeless way like Hamlet, only seeing the negative side of things and not caring. Finally in monetary way, only seeing the human life in the value of money. Today I have come to the conclusion that life is too short to see it in the negative way or in the monetary way. I would rather be positive and live my life according to my own happiness and the…

Culture can be determined by countries…

Integrity As most people would say is that integrity is when someone is brave and overcomes something. It can also mean persevering and fighting for what is right. Each morning I wake up it takes integrity just to get up and get through my day. People can use integrity in anything that they do. Most mornings I wake up I just feel like a very small object that will later die and be nothing after that. As for heaven and things like that and what other people think will happen after this life I…

“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” Oprah Winfrey’s quote should be heard by many people. Not many people have integrity. People try to be someone they are not to impress others around them to fit in. As an individual in this society, having integrity will only help with making smarter choices. Integrity is being honest, having an ethical behavior towards yourself and others, and having a character that you like and want…
