Step2
I did workout at gym and homework with my friends at library today, which makes me feel enriched. I pursue the healthy and enjoyable lifestyle.
My parents taught me to be a loyalty person from my early age, which does not matter with grade or appearance. Loyalty is also the most important requirement for me to make friends. No one wants to make with those people who say bad words behind you. And being a loyalty person will be valid throughout my life. Besides, my parents love doing sports and they often tell me the importance of health. You will lose confident and energy without healthy body. So that I have good habit doing exercise, which will follow my whole life I believe. And as for the goals, I want to improve my leadership skills most. It is useful in the future job no matter what concentration you focus on. However, I feel a little shy communicate with others though I have something to share. I feel like I should be more confident.
It is very interesting to start AAD250 with the topic “Values”. As for me, values could just be an abstract and intangible concept at first. It is hard to define what the values is and whether is useful for us.
With the considerable reading, I started to regard values as an issue, which related with many factors like culture, instinct, religion and etc. As for the author, he mentioned that although the term values is dismissed as a barbarous jargon, people use it frequently depend on personal evaluations and related beliefs (Lewis, p.5). I agree with the idea and it is totally true because we are notisolated unity in the world but are influenced by the community surrounded. People are good at imitating and learning, so it is anatural process to be effected by features like customs and living habits. However, I can not accept with the idea that author disagree individual human beings are programmed into their values, either by the influence of genes on personality or social pressure (Lewis, p.6). Although it is hard to prove the proposition by statistics and experiment, it can be explained by an obvious example. Comparing the family values between American and Chinese, I heard a story from my American friend, themainstream American family are more likely to be independent. Children will pay themselves for the tuition when they go to college and they will not live with their parents and care for them after they are married .But it happens differently in China. Those people who are not support their parents when they are old are condemned by the society. It can be explained by the different family values and it is hard to explore the reason why there are different situation between two country, but it has been back less than history. And it maybe programmed into values and genes may play vital roles for forming the value.
