...As I considered my personal values and the values taken into consideration in the simulations, I concluded that my personal value system had not changed but had expanded. Before performing the simulations, my personal value system consisted of values such as integrity, respect, trust, loyalty, and quality relationships. The new values that I have added to my value system are time and confidentiality. In the following sections, I will discuss my values on time, confidentiality, and loyalty an existing value. Valuing Time Time has become one of my values because everything that I do and every decision that I make depends upon how I allocate my time to perform and complete my tasks. I also consider time to be an important value because I must consider it when I create and plan schedules to show when project assignments are to be completed. And, time plays an important role on my job when I have to set up conference calls with out-of-state vendors or customers to finalize decisions and job assignments. Valuing Confidentiality Confidentiality has become one of my values because it is important for me to be aware of how I handle confidential information. Confidentiality is very important in my line of work because many of my job assignments involve classified information that is authorized for only certain individuals to handle. Confidentiality is also crucial because I must always be mindful of whom I discuss my job responsibilities with, conceal classified...

...I had previously taken the assessments on MyPlan during my first semester at Valencia College, however I decided to retake the tests to see if my interest have changed overtime. The first time I took the assessment my primary interest areas were investigative and enterprising, and after retaking it my primary interest areas are investigative and conventional. However, after taking a deeper look at the results I saw that my conventional score (13) and my enterprising score were the same on my second assessment. After reading the descriptions of what an investigative, enterprising, and conventional person was like I had to agree that the description fit me. There was a section on each interest area that had a list of words people would use to describe me such as “curious, trustworthy, and introspective”, and I was...

...Refection of My core values Timothy Maurer CJA/474 November 25, 2014 Paul Zepeda Refection of My core values Individual values are our core beliefs, values, and ideas that we look about life, its drive, and our own purpose. For instance we grow up, we take on board the individual values of others around us up to we reach the teen-age years and start to accept or discard such values as being a part of who we are,. Instead of just accepting those values that remained ingrained in us by close relative, instructors, and culture, we want to stop, take a look at ourselves, identify our values, and implement them into our lives.. I have many core values, such as in family. Family means a lot to me because they are there for me. My loved ones care deeply about what is best for me. I would do anything for them. When my wife gave birth to our wonderful son, I as a person has changed. Since I am a new father who needs to show my son the way of life and right from wrong, this experience has changed the way I live and the things I do. Honesty is one of my favorites because you have to have honesty to achieve thing in life.

...EXAMINING SOCIAL WORK VALUES AND MY PERSONAL VALUES AND DEVELOPMENT In my essay I will be looking at what social work and values are. Due to the essay 1500 words constraint I look at the arguments for and against 1 of (Biestek 1961) 7 traditional values and then look at 1 of the new values before looking at a radical social work value. Secondly, I will re-evaluate my personal values and experiences to see how they relate to past and current social work values. Thirdly, I will identify the origin and development of my personal values, and look at the main influences and contributing factors. I will then look at the key areas of my personal values and attitudes that need further development as I progress and acquire new skills and knowledge in my course. I will conclude by highlighting and stressing the importance of values and self-awareness in working towards 'knowing and owning my fears, aspirations and values' (Antony, 1996). Social work is a human profession that promotes social changes, problem solving in human relationships and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being. Utilising theories of human behaviour and social systems, social work intervenes at the points where people interact with their environments. Principles of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work (BASW 2001) and values in social work are the principles, beliefs, missions or philosophies of an individual, society or an institution that have been elaborated to...

...Lead with respect, not with power. Throughout my Global Lead experience, I learned a lot about what a global citizen is and how to become a better one. I also learned a lot about myself and who I am as a person and leader and also how I lead my life. I believe a global citizen is one who is aware of what is happening around the world; one who genuinely cares and is curious, and one who has the desire to help in any way possible. When I first arrived in Greece and we talked about being a mindful traveler, I realized that I had never even thought about that. I realized that even when people visit America, I am not mindful of their culture. My Global Lead experience really made me realize that I never really took the time to learn other cultures and what was happening outside the United States. The only things I really ever knew about other countries were the things that affected America. I wasn’t even aware that I was not being a global citizen. Being a global citizen means to be aware of things going on outside your country and to try and help in any way possible, even if it is something simple like supporting another countries product. The Greece culture is so beautiful and full of history. The people are so nice and courteous to visitors, especially us when we visited. Almost everyone there knew English, which really surprised me because I am not fluent in any other languages. The fact that pretty much everyone spoke our language showed me a good example of global citizenship...

...Why would an author of a book influence me so much? It is because Daniel Quinn has written "My Ishmael" in such a beautiful way that what he's thinking comes across to you like as though you're having a conversation in person with him. He uses a talking Gorilla as a means to convey his points of view on how the world is in a degenerative mode and though I felt this strange at first, it became clear later as to why he used a Gorilla in the first place. The Gorilla here represents nature's voice and is a reminder that we need to look for ways to communicate with nature, first hand. This was the first eye opening aspect from the author. The second was the author's penchant for coming up with brilliant stories to derive and communicate his point to the reader. Instead of driving in his philosophies by pure theory would have been boring and heavy, but the author uses wonderful and thought provoking stories to do the same, so effectively. The first was the simple concept of food kept under lock and key. This is a practice that comes so naturally to us, but he brings out why this is a very unnatural way of things. For early man, what grew in the world belonged to everyone in the society, and to put it under lock and key is to basically create a working class who will do tasks, useful or useless, in order to earn their bread. Ishmael's (the name of the gorilla) teachings turn toward the subject of formal education, which he argues is merely a way to keep children out of the work...

...you for considering me for the position of Sales Manager at Einstein Furniture and Design in Dallas. Interior design has always fascinated me and after working at a small furniture store in my hometown, I fell in love with how creative one can be in this field. Cindy Wilbanks, my ninety-year-old manager at the time, was a true inspiration. Her knowledge and experience in interior design paved the way for my continued interest in designing spaces and creating one of a kind experiences for customers. Ms. Wilbanks’ fifty years of experience and her unique wealth of knowledge encouraged me on a daily basis. She worked her way up over the years and never gave up on her dream of owning her own store. She indeed opened and ran a successful store of her own and landed herself at the top of the industry. She eventually sold her legacy store, becoming one of the wealthiest women in Texas. Thankfully, she decided to train individuals like myself and worked in the industry with an undeniable passion all of her life. I’m excited that I now have that same passion for my career and I look forward to visiting with you to discuss what I can bring to your team. Paragraph 2 Like I told you before, there is a position open here at Schmaltz Bookkeeping Service. The position is as assistant to my boss, Glendora Brock. I know you feel like you don’t have the experience to be an assistant in the bookkeeping world, but I honestly feel like you would be perfect. I would like to recommend...

...on learning. At ITT I plan to achieve a career, not just to float through life one “job” after another. A goal that I started to attain before leaving high school is developing the ability to see the value in maintaining a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances. When I include my goal in the curriculum, I have a better understanding on how positive words, positive character traits and positive thinking can impact life immediately now and in the future. Another goal of mine is to be happy. To be happy is the most important thing there is because you only have one life and if you go through it fighting, competing and struggling you have wasted your one life. Being a human on this planet is like winning the lotto and if people would act that way we could all help each other and try to make the time we have not be a waste. I think that's my ultimate goal... I don't know that it's everyone's, if it's THE ultimate goal or even if there is a THE ultimate goal. Also I was thinking that there is a difference between being happy and being gratified. To me being gratified is having enough food, money, air, friends, love, support, a car, a vacation every couple of months, and maybe chocolate brownies... Basically to me being gratified is about having enough good stuff come my way. Whereas being happy seems to me to be the effect of having good stuff come out of me, like kindness,...

...It was one of the few events in my life that I felt totally compelled to attend .When Elijah and I had broken up two years ago ,it was an acrimoonious parting .We were both too young then to value the relationship and in the end ,decided we could eventually talk to each other in a civil manner before breaking up .Now he was going to be married to someone else ,and I was invited. I knew that my bossom friends were expecting me to turn down the invitation ,which made me even more determined to attend the ceremony .I felt that I was mature enough to handle such event and wanted to lie to rest the rumours about me still hurting after all this time.It was certainly an important event for me as it was golden opportunity to prove my strength once and for all. "My maturity was at stake!" I thought. On the day of the wedding,I woke up bright and early,determined not to be late.I had laid out my white dress which had been picked out the week before.I was going to look good and be gracious at the wedding.I could let "bygones be bygones," period. The sun shining in a clear blue sky and the rustle of leaves,as they brushed against each other on the gentle breeze,was like soothing music to my eras.When I left the house,there was still a good two hours before the wedding.I decided to go and window-shop at Queen Bay which was next to the church so as to be sure that I would be at the event on time. The shopping centre was particularly crowded at that time,being a Sunday...

...be defined as a geographic structure, in which divisions are created to support the needs of customers in a particular region, country, or world area. (Jones: Introduction to Business: How Companies Create Value for People) Walmart as we know it here in the United States operates in a number of different countries under numerous names, all the same corporation. Walmart consists of three main business divisions. These include Wlamart United States, Walmart International, and Sam’s Club. These main divisions are the core of its’ organizational structure. From these divisions leadership and management is then regionally developed and divided into regions of each division all the way down to store managers. The headquarters of this nearly billion dollar corporation still lies in the state of Arkansas where it was began, which would make Walmart United States the top division of the three. This organizational structure is for a global, publically shared company that is seemingly only profiting more with time. A smaller company such as a hometown car dealership would operate under a much different organizational structure. Most of them in my area are family owned and operated, which would reflect on the matrix structure more than anything. One head CEO of the small company in my hometown is in charge of the whole thing....

Do a case study of its success (or failure) and how it has changed the landscape of product innovations. For example, Thomas and friends has clothes, stationery, household products, jewellery etc. *** She is a successful independent woman, who lives in a world of pink, where she owns a dream house in Malibu. Every day, she wears high-heels to work, and even runs a fashion chain under her name. For many, she was the influential icon of American culture in the late 20th century. Until now, I dare say that her image is still very potent worldwide. Who is she? Never before has she ever starred in a Hollywood movie or performed at a famous fashion show. Surprisingly, she never exists in real life and she is literally a toy. Yes, it can hardly be any other toy but Barbie. Nowadays, girls can be seen wearing Barbie clothing, using Barbie perfume, carrying Barbie backpacks, and sleeping in Barbie pajamas, not to mention cosmetics, sneakers etc. (Morgenson 1991, 66). Mattel, Inc., the mother company of Barbie, should feel proud of her. Because on average, an American girl has ten Barbie dolls, a British or Italian girl may own seven, while five is the number of Barbie that a German or French girl has.
