It is truly an honor to be acknowledged by the National Honor Society at CCHS.

Therefore, by showing that I possess each of these four qualities, I can contribute to the Catholic Central High School community as a member of the National Honor Society. Being a part of NHS…
geographic locations. Zooming in a little tighter in these areas, Germany and the United States each have their own unique set of values when it comes to, their social etiquette, self-policing, work/family balance, and even the way they engage in courtship to find a mate. The way the Germans and Americans have shaped the norms within their culture are a direct result of their values. These norms are just activities reflecting their opinion of how the “world should be, rather than the…
How do you birthduring your life even after you are brought into this world? The human condition, defined as the the characteristics which compose the essentials of the human existence. All humans experience (birth, growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict, mortality) characteristics that people in this world feel that you need to be a moral human being.

Ethics and morality is something that has been discussed among humans for as long as we have been on this planet. People everywhere have a set of moral codes or guidelines they follow on a daily basis. Often though, these same people may not even be aware of this phenomenon.

People have their own universals but the great part of universals is not having them but also sharing them with other cultures. By sharing universals of one's culture with others it can change people from another culture. When one applies Kwame Anthony Appiah’s idea of Universals in Cosmopolitanism to the character, Nwoye in…
Personal Values and Attitudes Every person is unique and has a different set of personal values, attitudes and beliefs that shaped their way of living. As a Disability Support Professional (DSP), I am going to support individuals with mental, physical and intellectual disabilities, who may have a different set of values and beliefs as compared to my values and beliefs. As a DSP, I should keep in mind that the person I am going to support has his/her own values and beliefs and I should respect…

In an ideal world, both of these values could thrive…
