...THE QUALITIES OF AN IDEAL HOUSEMATE At first glance it seems very difficult for us to define what are the important qualities of an ideal housemate. However, after serious considerations we can see that under most circumstances, an ideal housemate should at least have the following three qualities. Firstly, we should know how to respect people. Not only our housemate, also people around them.It is the most important factor in our communications. Whatever what is their background, they are the same as their housemates, they are all equal. To respect their housemate, respect their religions and cultures. Do not laugh at ethnic people or racism. That is rude and stupid. We should respect what God created for us. Besides, we must respect our housemates privately, everyone have right to have their secrets. Furthermore, the qualities of an ideal housemate that I desired should possess good personalities. An easy going and friendly housemate is most suitable for a person who is introvert and shy like me. I like the feeling of warmness that naturally exudes from a person, because I know this may help me to get along well with her when we are living under the same roof. We can also solve the problem without making argument if we encounter some problems about living together...

...Some people say that your "Ideal Life" is nothing more than a fantasy, somewhat like World Peace. Michelangelo once said; "The greatest danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." This is probably true for most people, but there are still some people out there who have wonderful goals and dreams, which will probably never get to see any of them, come true. I just hope and pray that I am one of the lucky ones! With out our dreams what do we have to live for? When asked what my "ideal life" situation would be, I had no option but to admit that I did not have a clue. But the more that I think about it, the more that I realize that maybe I was wrong, maybe I know what I want, maybe I am just afraid that I wouldn't be able to achieve my goals, But what's the point of goals if you don't have to strive to reach them? If I could have my "ideal job", it would be a High school Teacher, or something along those lines. I really want to be able to help someone in the way that people have helped me. So therefore, my "ideal career" would have to include the opportunity to help Children and Teens. I feel that with all that I have been through, I would be able to help kids because I would be able to relate to them, and know where they are coming from. There are so many kids out there who do not have anyone to turn to, and if I could just be that person for one child, it would make my life worth living. I always...

...Dunaway, Sheri HLT-305 January 19, 2014 Professor Weyrich Values In Life Our ideals help us to focus on what is really important to us and helps to shape our identity. In writing this paper, I must really think about what ideals are important to me, and not just choose ideals by default. Thinking about this I believe that accountability, benevolence, loyalty, compassion, faith and honesty are six of the ideals that are important to me. I believe that everyone should be accountable for their actions and not try to blame everything that is not perfect in their life on someone else. Benevolence, because I want to do what is good and right, loyalty to my friends and family, compassion to help those that are not as fortunate, or are in pain and honesty so that I can be trusted and I can trust others. Faith is what truly guides the decisions that I make. My self-worth is largely dependent on how well I can live up to the ideals that I have set for myself. I must have respect for myself and know that I am a valuable and worthy person. It is important when judging self-worth to look at what you think of yourself, not the criticism others have given you. I believe that I have a healthy sense of self-worth and I am confident in the way I lead my life. The most virtuous qualities to possess are honesty and integrity. Integrity proves that you are a person that follows the ideals and values that you have set for yourself, and you are of good moral character and can be trusted. Honesty...

...we really are as a person. It is our inner personality that is influenced by our life experiences and our interpretations from those experiences. The two main sources that affect and influence our self-concept are experiences we had from our childhood and the evaluation of other people. Rogers’ humanistic approach states that the self-concept has three components: 1. Self-Worth/Self-Esteem: This is what and how we think about ourselves. Self-worth is developed in the early stages of childhood and formed based on the interaction the child has had with his or her parents. Self-worth does not necessarily have to reflect reality. 2. Self-Image: This is how we see ourselves and includes our perception of our body image and inner personality. Self-image has a profound effect on how a person thinks, how he or she feels, and how to behave in this world. 3. Ideal self – This is the idealized version of ourselves created out of what we have learned from our life experiences, the demands of society, and role models whom we admire. It consists of our goals and ambitions in life, and is always changing. Congruence and Incongruence Rogers believed that people want to feel, experience and behave in ways that are consistent with our self-image, and shows a reflection of what we would like to be like, which is our ideal-self. Congruence is defined as having fairly accurate match between the self-concept and reality. The closer our self-image and ideal-self are to each other...

...of Applied Philosophy,Suicide Intervention and Non-Ideal Kantian Theory Vol. 19, No. 3, 2002 245 Suicide Intervention and Non-Ideal Kantian Theory MICHAEL J. CHOLBI Philosophical discussions of the morality of suicide have tended to focus on its justifiability from an agent’s point of view rather than on the justifiability of attempts by others to intervene so as to prevent it. This paper addresses questions of suicide intervention within a broadly Kantian perspective. In such a perspective, a chief task is to determine the motives underlying most suicidal behaviour. Kant wrongly characterizes this motive as one of self-love or the pursuit of happiness. Psychiatric and scientific evidence suggests that suicide is instead motivated by a nihilistic disenchantment with the possibility of happiness which, at its apex, results in the loss of the individual’s conception of her practical identity. Because of this, methods of intervention that appeal to agents’ happiness, while morally benign, will prove ineffective in forestalling suicide. At the same time, more aggressive methods violate the Kantian concern for autonomy. This apparent dilemma can be resolved by seeing suicide intervention as an action undertaken in non-ideal circumstances, where otherwise unjustified manipulation, coercion, or paternalism are morally permitted. 1. The chances are good that each of us will some day confront a person close to us contemplating suicide. Every year in the...

...the store more than twice. There was something in all the sections that seemed like as if were made especially for me. Eventually, I ended up purchasing a lot more than I wanted in the first place. This was just a beginning, now that I know, to what has become my obsession to use these grooming and healthcare products. Shopping for healthcare and grooming products in India is a completely different experience to what it is in the United Kingdom. There are not any dedicated stores for healthcare products such as Boots, Super Drug. The differences in such consumption patterns can be better understood through the concept of Sociohistoric Patterning of Consumption, which suggests that the institutional and social structures systematically influence consumption, such as class, community, ethnicity, and gender. I had never seen, until then, a store with such collection of healthcare products. It was a totally new experience for me. Maybe it was also the reason because of my excitement. As evident in Thornton’s studies, experiential consumption activities foster collective identifications grounded in shared beliefs, meanings, mythologies, rituals, social practices, and status systems. (Thornton 1996.) Also supporting my eventual habitual consumption pattern, of consuming healthcare and grooming products, is Maffesoli’s (1996) ideas on...

...MY IDEAL SOCIETY Free will is a property of human nature that depends solely on the individual. Every individual in a free society has the ability to make any decision that impacts his or her own life. This means that any one person can use their own free will to alter or hamper the ideals possessed by another individual within the society. This notion goes against the grains of the idea of an ideal society. An ideal society would have to provide the ideal conditions for all those who lived within it. The principles and standards of the inhabitants within the society would determine these ideal conditions. If an individual within this model society could alter the life of another individual within the society, the ideals of the second individual may be broken; this consequently undermines and destroys the concept of an absolute ideal society. Thomas More’s Utopia carries the premise that everyone within the utopian society does what is necessary for the good of the society, and that one’s free will would consist of only what is beneficial to the culture. This, in itself, is limiting free will by excluding the possibility of freely doing what is not beneficial to the culture. More said, the citizens, “(do) not waste their time in idleness or self-indulgence,” but who’s to say that they cannot? Absolute free will gives each citizen the ability to do whatever they feel inclined to do, even perhaps, idle or self-indulge. In Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the idea of free will...

...Dream of an ideal society There are emerging and ongoing wars that destroy lands and nations. There are the continuous dilemma of inequality, discrimination and other social issues that despite the modern trends and rapid technological advances of the society are still haunting and dividing the members of the society. The perfect society does not exist. This Utopia does not physically exist, but in our minds, it goes something like this. In my ideal society, every person is treated as an equal. No one person would think or act as if they were better than someone else was. There would be no racism present, all types of people would reside here and get along together. It would not matter if you were African, Caucasian or any color of the rainbow everyone is treated the same. In addition, there also would be a diverse amount of different religions that would coincide with each other in the ideal society. Today religion is one of the most controversial topics in society. There are countless numbers of active religions coinciding with and contradicting each other. In the ideal society people would love their religion and respect the others. All religions would co-exist peacefully. An ideal society should not be bound to the oppression of the wealthy and powerful. This society should not be unfair or unjust to the citizens that are of a different color or race that of the minority. An ideal society is one in which people act together as...

...decision on what product or service they purchase. Two of these factors is the actual self-concept and ideal self-concept. The actual self-concept is defined as the individuals belief about himself, which includes the person’s attributes and how they evaluate themselves. The ideal self-concept is how you would like to see yourself. When consumers purchase products they are often purchasing the product to enhance how they feel about themselves as well as get closer to their ideal self. My most recent important purchase was a car in September. I purchased a 2012 GMC Terrain with some special features. The GMC is a mid size SUV that is known to have one of best gas mileage for its type. My choice of an SUV was mainly based on the fact that I like bigger cars because I travel a lot with large items (bowling balls) and I like to sit up higher in a car so I can see everything. Most of the time, SUV drivers are described as people who like to feel in control, which is a lot of the times what I like to do. I often take control of situations because that it is personality. The purchase of a newer also indicates that I want to have a sense of pride and a feeling of accomplishment because I purchased a brand new car. This explanation would be an example of how I tried to enhance my ideal self-concept of being someone who looks accomplished. I also chose the vehicle based on needs. My old car had very poor gas mileage and it was costing me a lot of money to travel to and from work...

...The media and womens body image Its been argued that the western culture is a culture so consumed by image that those with fame give praise for being thin and disapproval for being fat, birthing a generation of women and girls that are often extremely self conscious about their appearance and body image. Media images of the unattainable thin body can be found almost anywhere. There has been continual interest in women’s body image throughout the years. Is there truth in the fact that women’s self-esteem and eating patterns are affected by what a woman sees in the media? Have this been researched enough to show the link between poor body image and the media’s portrayal of women and could this research allow for successful interventions to be evaluated and implemented. Could and intervention lead to fewer cases of anorexia and bulimia and could this lead to increased self-esteem and a more positive body image amongst women? The question many people want to know is if this is the case, where did these stereotypes come from exactly? Is it from the movie, television industry, fashion and beauty magazinesor is it from social and cultural influences , or maybe its just something we learn naturally. Does it really affect women and adolescent females selfworth, or does it go beyond that, leading to serious medical conditions? This paper explores the different factors that influences women body image and if the media is soley responsible for how adolescents and women view their body...

...Student’s Name: Professor’s Name: Course: Date: Teamwork and Leadership 1. Teamwork defined My view of an ideal team is that which has an identity and functions to cultivate the efforts of every member of the team for the benefit of the overall team. This means that the group values each person’s contribution in his or her capacity towards a clear unity of purpose. Conversely, this can only occur if every member knows what he/she is supposed to do, and for what reason he/she is engaging in the role assigned. Besides, a team requires members to function, but it cannot function without the participation in their distinct capacities to be capable of delivering the goal of the team. In addition, every member should understand each other even as they participate for the benefit of the team. On the other hand, in as much as every team member’s views should be held in high regard, and that everyone should be free to contribute ideas, decisions should be dependent on the general agreement of the team members. In cases where teams consist of a considerable number of members, it is evident that disagreements will be unavoidable. An ideal team is that which is capable of finding the best means possible to accommodate each team member and their views without compromising the goal of the team. 2. Teamwork Created Building a strong sense of team goes beyond only having members with defined roles, because any team is only as strong as its weakest link. A team without...

...Future officers in the United States should strive to be the best leaders that they can possibly become. In this development what should be analyzed is what type of leader you are presently and what type of leader you want to someday become. By recognizing your strengths and weakness as a cadet you can improve upon them while you have time before you become an Air Force officer. It is essential that cadets strive to be successful leaders to continue the greatness of our Air Force. In order to better yourself as a leader you need a goal or ideal leader you want to model yourself after. My example of an ideal leader is Mohammed Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live. Mohammed Ali is a man of morals and the definition of a great leader. Early in his career in 1964, Ali converted his religion from Christianity to Islam; the same time changed his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali (“The Official1”). Two years later after his conversion and name change, he got drafted into the military service even after he failed the draft aptitude test. Ali refused to serve because of his Muslim beliefs. In 1967 he was found guilty of refusing to be inducted into the military services (“The Official1”). Although after a few years he was cleared of the charges, the damage was already done. The boxing association had already taken away his World Heavy Weight title and suspended him from boxing for three and a half years. Ali gave up some of his prime boxing years to fight for social...
