...Do you like working in groups? I believe that working in groups is a good idea. It is a good idea because when you work in groups everyone can help everyone. Also, when someone is not doing what they are supposed to be, they have many people to help them out. Another reason is that when you are working in a group, you can get the work done way faster than if you were working alone.

...Living Sober Group is an Alcoholic Anonymous group that allows the people who attend to share their stories with others who are like them. They talk about how they have gone from being alcoholics to becoming sober and their journey to this state.

He then went on to talk about confidentiality and that it...

...again. The Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant and Jesus Raises the Widow’s Son at Nain are great examples as Luke includes the universalism in its scripture passages. The first scripture passage is “The Parable of the Good Samaritan” (Luke 10:25-37). It’s a story according to the Gospel of Luke about a traveler that is stripped of clothing, beaten and left half dead along the road. Firstly a priest and a Levite come along but ignore the traveler but then along came a Samaritan that helps the injured man and takes care of him. Jesus relates as explaining the parable in response to a question concerning the name/identity of the ‘neighbour’ which Leviticus 19:18 says should be loved. As Luke includes universalism in his writing he would be this story out for everyone in the community, as Jesus is telling a story about helping your neighbours even if you don’t know them. Everyone should help each other even if it’s a stranger it’s good to help people or the community around you and it gives people knowledge that there are good people on this earth....

...citizen is to help the Public services by keeping peace within society. This then helps create an image that people can follow. Other factors are helping the public services to maintain a clean, respected society. Equality and diversity are huge factors within the public services, there fore if people were to help prevent this there would be a lot less conflict and confusions. For example having people of mixed race within the public services can help people who don’t speak English well; they can translate what they are saying. However, there will always be people who are discriminative and may not respect that authoritative figure. Although with more good citizens it could cause people to rethink and support the public service, rather than causing them grief, time and effort. The role of a good citizen will help influence others in society, especially when it comes to diversity. Although his will be challenging as different cultures have different views. Therefore it is impossible to make everyone diverse and support the public service demands. Good citizens will help support the public services as people will not lie, they’ll be honest. In result this would prevent many crime. For example if someone committed a crime and people truly admitted to seeing the person and telling their whereabouts, then the streets would stay safe. The key concept with diversity are, that cause issues are: cultures, races, sexuality, treating each person equally. Good citizens will help people to...

...game. I never learned the names of everyone by participating, however the people in my classes were the same people I had grown up with. College classes are a completely different story. In my previous classes, I never learned the names of most people enrolled. Everyone would just come to hear the professor's lecture, then leave. Communication is an important fundamental skill that is used every day. Self-staging is different from any other college class I have ever taken. After only two days, I not only knew my classmates names, but also a fun fact. Knowing this made the “awkwardness” of a college class disappear. I feel more comfortable in the class, which I know will help with future assignments. I have seen a few of my self-staging classmates outside of class and said hello. I am by no means a shy person, but I feel as if this class will help me with communication. I was never nervous about speaking in front of the class, but now I might be more open with everyone in it. I know having good communication skills is needed throughout life. It will help me in school and at my job. Another aspect of this assignment that I liked was meeting everyone. I am having to commute to campus this semester, so I do not know that many people. I have friends that came here from my hometown, and I have a few acquaintances from last semester. Already meeting everyone in this class will make friendships easier to develop. Although I am not making everyone in my classes stand up and tell me...

...Critical thinking can help you make much better decisions in life. Knowing how to fully understand to think clear, rational, and with an open mind will help you be smarter with any decisions you make. The ethics involved in critical thinking can help you use deductive reasoning to lessen the rational choices in decision making. Having exceptional critical thinking skills along with good ethics can make it easier for you to move up in a professional setting. Sometimes the best choice you can make is to follow your own intuition. After taking the ethical lens inventory test to help determine how I think, I have come to the conclusion that I think in the greater good of everyone else before myself. I like to see the results of my actions to help someone else to make their own choices better. I reflect a lot on my own past experiences to help me analyze and evaluate each situation before I make any sort of a decision. I always share my thoughts and stories with anyone who I am helping but I always let others make their own decisions. People always have to learn to think for themselves as well. Using the ethics I was raised with helps me to be able to think clear. Being a manager in the working field and being responsible for numerous people, mostly minors, I feel I am more inclined to take my time to think clear and rational to make the best decision for everyone else on my team. Also have a young child myself and want to be able to teach him the best ethics I can so he can grow...

...The Destiny of Destitution Poverty has multiple definitions according to different aspects. It can be viewed from the religious, economical, spiritual, or societal standpoints. Poverty is a global issue that has been tormenting the human world ever since its beginning. According to the Oxford dictionary, poverty is "the state of lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society." (Poverty, n. pag) Poverty is the insufficiency of money and resources to meet the basic needs of life. It is also the deprivation of participation in economic, social and political decision-making that affects one's life. Unfortunately, it is the state of majority of the countries. The rich get richer, while the poor get poorer, the gap between them increases over time. The issue of poverty is not justifiable in both societal and individual level. Therefore, preventing poverty is one of the goals of the international organizations like United Nations and the World Bank. Ever since the time of Jesus Christ, in accordance with what the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Church's Social Teaching preach, the issue of global poverty is unjustified, and therefore, is preventable by the efforts of the human world. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines poverty as not only the lack of material, but also cultural and religious aspects as well. Poverty is the human misery caused by material deprivation, unjust oppression, physical and psychological...
