Too many issues today to fix in our society: war, economy, world warming, health benefits, and so on; in this stressful life there is no time to stop and think: What matter? Our children: our past, present and future; what is given to them is part of what the future will be. Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6). Children should inherit from their parents, values that guide and prepare them through every step of the life: the importance of the family is one; be part of it is like parts of the human body, each one is supporting each other. Then the importance of faith; anyone needs to believe in something spiritual, needs to feed the soul: the Bible, is a Christian book that has all the teaching necessary to survive in this life, for any situation ones may be. Nevertheless, education is also a value to be appreciated because is like a passport to the future. Family, faith, and education values are the young’s best chance for a happy life, and a better world.
Precisely, be member of a family is like parts of a body, they support and help each other. Build a strong relationship doing things together, not just fun stuff, like playing, watching a movie, but also prepare for dinner, do chores, or go to the church together, volunteer to help others, build respect for elderly, for sick, and for authority as well. Children will learn the sense of responsibility that will carries into adulthood, they will not need to be reminded to be on time for work or for meeting deadlines. They will be respectful not just in the family setting but also at school, at work, and everywhere they go. My dad used to say, “Teach the child when he is in young age, because when he i...

... well. Also another form of education is a self- taught, like Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, what he learned he taught himself; any time a person learns a new skill that is needed to engage in the society, that is a form of education.
Instead of trying to fix this society, everybody should stop and think: what matter? War, economy, world warming; “If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children”. (Mohandas Gandhi). Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see”. (John W. Whitehead). Family, faith and education are values that have been my guide, my bone structure, helped me in my bad times and support in good times, and passing them on to my children convinced affirm that these values are the young’s best chance for a happy life and a better world.

If we don’t take the initiative to instill in our children the morals that our society lacks then the cycle will continue of disregard for others. We need to teach our children to seek who they are, and what they want out of life. Once

    The most successful way to instill righteous and moral behavior and thoughts is by demonstrating our respectable interactions and honest problem solving approaches during difficult times of our lives. “As adults we should dare to be adults that we want our children to be”. They learn by watching and are quick to mimic our behavior with their peers outside of home. The author writes that “we should strive to raise children who: engage with the world from a place of worthiness, embrace their vulnerabilities and imperfections, feel a deep sense of love and compassion for themselves and others, value hard work, perseverance, and respect, and also move through our rapidly changing world with courage and a resilient spirit” (214, 218-219). All of these elements will help to transform the way we live, love, and

  • Personal Philosophy, Mission and Organizational Ethics

    Whether consciously considered or not, every human being has a personal philosophy by which they live by and use to interpret the world around them. Their “beliefs, concepts and attitudes” (Philosophy) are a derivative of their upbringing and personal circumstances experienced throughout the course of their lives. I was raised on the beliefs, concepts, and moral values of the Christian faith. An emphasis was placed on the Ten Commandments and provided me a moral compass to live by. In my opinion, they are perhaps the most overlooked values in today’s society. The commandments provide a balanced approach to life, similar to Steven Covey’s “True North” principles, which also provide a “theory and tools that will empower us to use our endowments to fulfill our basic needs and capacities in a balanced, principle centered way” (Covey 73). Even more importantly, I was raised by caring, loving parents that supported my dreams and taught me to have the courage to go after them. I learned from their actions, which inspired a meaningful work ethic. My Grandparents were also instrumental in my development; teaching me practicality and the importance of living within my means to avoid becoming a slave to the lender. There combined efforts taught me to be confident and responsible f...

We depend on our families to teach us almost everything we know. They help us to understand social interaction and to create the things we consider to be our values. Our family starts our education and most importantly provides a sense of stability and support that can help in every kind of challenging situation. When a family fails in the raising of a child, it is clear in many aspects of the child’s behavior, which goes to show how truly important this family system is. Since the idea has never been used, it is hard to say what would actually happen if the plan was played out, but from the experience that we do have, communally raised children usually suffer negative effects in their ability to form emotional attachments

  • The Importance Of Family Values

    I interviewed Rita Wright from Northwest Georgia Housing Authority. She is in charge of resident services. She is an African American with a predominately African American clientele; therefore I knew I would be able to obtain much information from her viewpoint. When I asked Ms. Wright to talk about her key values and characteristics common in her culture she talked extensively about family. Family is a major part of her life. She stated that she is like most African Americans in which family values are extremely important. There are several people in her life who have earned the title of aunt, sister or cousin who are not blood related. These are individuals who have always been there for her and her family, so they too are considered just like family. Most African American families are embedded in complex kinship networks of blood and nonrelated individuals (Diller, 2011). To Ms. Wright there is nothing more precious than family. If family wrongs you, you forgive and forget. If family needs help, you must be there for them. In the end family is all we have.

    "Family is not an important thing. It's everything.” This remarkable quote by Michel J. Fox should be the definition of family. Family is everything, they are our motivation, the ones that will love us when others don’t, and are the ones who stick to each other as gum when times get tough. Families have the most robust connections alive. These ties are so solid, and deeply intact that they can do everything and anything. These links allow a family to influence, shape, impact, and change one’s life. The intimacy within the family sphere, shape all who are inside it, this cannot be changed, and well anything that comes from within the family cannot be changed. The family itself can control and change our views on society, influence how we view the family unit, and yet most of all impact our everyday choices. The family’s capacity of guidance can make such an abundant shift that can only be felt, and barely visible unless seen through strained eyes, that makes this connection even more inexplicable than love.

    A family must establish a set of values and morals that the members should try to live and abide by. It does not mean writing them down on paper and following them as if they are laws, but it simply means taking a practical approach to raising a family. The best way to ensure that these morals are followed by the children is by having the parents follow them as well. Children learn by modeling the authorities and in every family, the authorities are the parents. The parents are ultimately responsible for their children’s behavior because the children act accordingly to what they are taught and what they witness. If the parents set a bad example for behavior, chances are that the children justify any wrong behavior by arguing that that is how their parents act.
