...define a person. Primary values are instilled during a person's childhood. However, they may also be developed during an adult age through personal experiences. My primary values include integrity, respect for other people's values regardless of their age. I also believe in handwork besides being a God fearing. I credit the parenting advice and counsel that mum and dad gave me as the source of my primary values. Religious teachings have also shaped my primary values. Moreover, my teachers and friends have also helped shape my primary values. Part 2 The first ethical issue at hand is hiring the right person for the position of our company's marketing manager because my partner and I have different opinions on the best candidate for the job. The candidates in our disposal have different backgrounds academically and socially which are beneficial for our company. However, one is better positioned for this post because she has the relevant experience. The second candidate is also suited for this position because she is attracting monetary gift, which could be essential in promoting the growth and stability of our company. The problem of this scenario is hiring the best candidate for this position because the two candidates have various competencies that deem them right for the position in our company. The second problem is that the second applicant is religiously affiliated to the same faith as my partner's grandparents. Consequently, my partner's grandparents have pledged a gift...

...The Field of Dreams It is crazy to think how much that grass under shining lights could mean to an individual. The football field has been my second home as well as my place to showcase my skills since the 3rd grade. The football field represents achievement and dedication to me more than anything else. The hard work that football takes is unlike any other sport there is. If all 11 men don’t work together to achieve the same goal, success will be nearly impossible to achieve. The football field puts everybody to the test and only few will pass. The second my body crossed the plane, I felt my heart break. It was the fourth quarter of senior night and I had just scored. I knew it would be my final time running into that endzone. My teammates swarmed me and the crowd went wild. It was a great feeling but at the same time a heart wrenching one as I knew, I would never experience this feeling again. The football field is only available to its users for a limited time and I learned to cherish every second I had. I wouldn't trade one second of the blood, sweat, and tears for anything in this world....

The doctor had previous experience in an emergency room and “had received some training in pediatric orthopedics and sports medicine.” Pratt was soon able to kick his legs and flip himself over even though he was complaining of extreme neck and shoulder pain. The doctor spent approximately 15 minutes with Pratt on the field questioning him about “areas of pain or altered sensations” before he conducted a brief medical examination. The doctor did not recall Pratt mentioning any loss of consciousness or paralysis and...
