Values dictate how a person lives there lives and what they pass on to their children. It hard for me to put into numerical order the values I hold so I will list them but remember they are not necessarily in order. Honesty is one value I hold in high regard. I believe that a person who is not honest cannot be trusted. Hence trust is another value I have. These two are the cornerstone of the most basic and important institution in our lives, marriage. Without honesty and trust it is impossible to have and keep a marriage together and marriage is the cornerstone of the family. My family is the most important thing to me. I trust my wife with every aspect of my life and if she was not honest I would trust her loyalty plays a huge part in a marriage also. There other values I have obtained after I joined the military.

...Values Reflection Paper University of Phoenix CJA 474 Research Process and Terminology Values are the ideas one holds dearest to them. The values change and mold a person as the person grows. This paper will discuss what my core values are, how people acquire and change their values, what values do for and to us and explaining the nature and importance of human values in the workplace. Core Values The first values I can remember were given to me by my parents. My parent raised me to help people when they are in need. As the old saying goes, I would give the shirt off my back even in the middle of winter. I still believe in this value and want my daughter to see the importance of it as well. I was also taught not to look for trouble but, if it comes around deal with it. This value was a main reason for me joining the military. It also goes a long with the last major value I was taught, do not let anyone hurt your family or friends. As I have grown into a man, I have added a few values that make me a better employee and friend. I believe while at work you must put 110% while you are on the clock and that your raise is the reward for this hard work. I also believe if you are a true friend you should be there in their time of need, for example if they are become hurt or sick you do their chores for them until that are well enough to do them again, not just wish them well. The last value I have gained as an adult is to give to those less fortunate instead of buying the...

...Values Reflection Paper Thomas Guerrero CJA 474 November 24, 2014 David Pettinari Values Reflection Paper Regardless of whether people work in the government or private sector, military or civilian, they will commonly ask, “what are my core values?” Most people are taught personal values from the early years of childhood, and throughout adolescence. In addition to parents, many public figures instill some values (such as respect) in the minds of young adults stronger than other values. Respect is one of my core values, and something that most kids from inner-city Chicago learn about. This paper focuses on core values. In this paper, I will reflect on my core values, describe the development and change of values, and explain the nature and importance of human values in the workplace. Core Values With the numerous amounts of social influences today, it may be hard for adolescents to decide which vales they believe to be most important. However, adolescents and adults are constantly faced with the question, what do you want to be or do in life? According to De Janasz, Dowd, & Schneider (2001), “Identifying your values will help you answer the question “What do I want to achieve with my life?” Once you determine your values and why they are important to you, you can then work on a plan for achieving your goals (p. 51).” Growing up in the tough neighborhoods of Chicago, it is easy to learn the values of right and wrong. It’s learned from award ceremonies...

...Values Reflection Paper Laura M. Martinez CJA/474 June 8, 2016 Michael G. Wilkie, DPA, Chief of Police (ret) Values Reflection Paper Money, stability, education, automobile are all things many people value, something that can be seen or felt or put into a garage for safe keeping. This is not always the case because there are some many more things in this world that need to be valued, and a price tag is not necessary for people to obtain them. When thinking about what are my core values the words came to me fast and quick. Honor, honesty, loyalty, trust, faithfulness, and caring. Nurturing, genuine, integrity and stability are right there up there in my top ten. Honorable is how I feel when I follow my values and that feeling helps me be a better person, mother, and daughter. I want my daughter to look at me and know I did the best I could for her, and I and I did it by standing by my values in a true and honorable way. Honesty is a huge value I stress to my daughter and the kids I help raise. I explain to always be honest even if it means not getting things your way, or possibly getting into trouble. I explain to them I would be more upset with them if they lied, than if they would tell me the truth. I practice this in my work environment as well. There are times when I am honest with a co-worker about something she did that I was not happy about, later they would come to me and apologize and thank me for being real and honest about the situation. I find this stops issues...

...Running head: VALUE REFLECTION PAPER Values Reflection Paper Value Reflection Paper An important personal value that I hold in my life is my spirituality. Spirituality can have many different definitions, depending on who is asked. It can be something as simple as looking for a higher meaning to life, or something so complex that one can base their beliefs, religion and overall life around it. There are several different ways to express one's spirituality; rituals, songs, dances, stories, and writings are all common methods of expression. Finding spirituality in something can make someone feel enlightened and bring strong emotion and deep feeling. Several authors have based some of their writings on their spirituality. Some of these writings are as intricate as the Bible or as basic as an article in a local newspaper, but the meaning and passion behind them should never be doubted. In my personal value system and for the purpose of this Value Reflection paper, spirituality is forever tied to knowing God and doing God's will. We often hear the word "spirituality" used to signify that one has faith in a higher power. Spirituality as it is seen in Christianity is to believe in God. As a Christian, we believe that God loves us. We believe that Jesus died for us. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead with all power in his hand.

...Values Paper Values that Shape Social Welfare Personal Values While attempting to understand what I consider my own personal values I wondered whether the values of social work and social welfare reflect my own or differ in respects to my own ideology. According to the National Association of Social Worker’s Code of Ethics (2013), “The social work profession is rooted in a set of core values: service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence”. From these “core values” social workers draw from when making their own decisions in the attempts to improve a client’s wellbeing and lift them up from whatever hardship they might be facing. My own personal values Personal Impacts My family and I had personally been impacted by the institution of social welfare which allowed us to continue living normal lives by providing basic needs like food and employment opportunities to avoid living on the street. The institution of social welfare has tremendously affected me personally because it allowed my mother to raised two children by herself without affecting our overall well-being. The social welfare programs helped my mother by giving assistance in the form of food stamps and gave her the tools to search for employment opportunities that, ultimately, led to a job. This was significant because it greatly improve my family’s overall well-being by allowing my mother to pursue employment opportunities...

...Arauco Case 1. Should Arauco build the Nueva Aldea project? (Hint: Estimate the project Net Present Value and provide a recommendation considering quantitative and qualitative arguments) Qualitative arguments We would suggest the company to go ahead with the the project Nueva Aldea considering next arguments: Horizontal expansion The company Arauco should build the project Nueva Aldea, for various reasons related to production, efficiency, access to lower costs and its growth internationally. Among the reasons that support the construction of the new plant, we consider that Arauco will be located in a specific region (VIII) close to the ports of Lirquén, Coronel and San Vicente where we can find the largest productive plantations and where this strategic position would favors the mobilization of processed materials, key point of analysis to promote the expansion and interconnection of a company of this magnitude.

...Eire Papers As part of the bid tabled by Eire Papers, it would purchase outside linerboard from the Southern division as well as for printing to be carried out by the Thompson division with compensations to the 2 divisions being $90 and $30 respectively. As provided in the scenario, Southern division’s sales price comprises a 60% cost component and a 40% contribution margin, this therefore amounts to 40% X $90 = $36 in terms of the contribution to the company. Thompson’s receipts cover its incremental costs of $25 which therefore yields a net result of $30 - $25 =$5 in terms of contributions that would be afforded to Papyrus as a whole. The act of supplying both the linerboard and the printing service therefore allows a profit to be made by Papyrus and therefore reduces the net amount it is essentially paying for the purchase of the boxes from Eire Papers. The bid price should consequently be reduced by the amount of expected profit. The true cost of the Erie Papers bid can therefore be derived to be in the region of $432 - $36 -$5 = $391 per thousand boxes. Thompson The comparable costs relative to Papyrus are calculated for all 3 bids. The 3 values reflect incremental costs to Papyrus, with Thompson having the lowest bid of $288. This method is employed to show the relative incremental costs Papyrus will bare from each bid. (Why are we comparing costs rather than Margins?) Thompson Total Incremental Costs to Papyrus = $120 + $168 = $288 Since 70% of Thompson’s...

...5 Forces Analysis on the Paper Industry Looking at the position of the paper industry relative to the five forces model I had to determine exactly what constituted the paper industry. I had to decide between the Paper Mills Industry and Pulp Mills Industry and ultimately decided to analyze the Paper Mills Industry specifically when it came to paper industry as a whole. The NAICS Code that corresponds to the Paper Mills Industry is NAICS: 322121 or SIC Code 2621. Porter’s Five Forces Model of Competition includes the firm’s, or in this case the paper mill industry’s, position relative to current competitors, suppliers, customers, potential new entrants and potential substitutes. Over the next few pages I will conduct a five forces analysis of the Paper Mills Industry. Current Competitors: The degree of rivalry in the paper industry is the center of the five forces and the other four forces branch off of this. The first aspect to look at is the number and position of companies within the paper industry. There were 445 companies in 2009 and as of 2013 there are now 119 companies in the industry. This industry still has many competitors within the industry and therefor, there shouldn’t be any impact of any particular company. This industry is large enough where these firms can prosper without having to steal market share from each other and this is a positive for the paper industry. The second key factor is the industry growth rate and if there is room to increase revenues...
