What am I?

Just because we see (or don’t see different things, It is not wrong – it is just different! If we all saw the same thing and thought the same thought, would we ever create anything “NEW”!

When I Was Young When I was a young person I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn’t change my nation, I began to focus on my town. I could not change my town so, as an older person, I tried to change my family. Now, I am very old and realize the only thing I can change is myself. I now realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on my town. The impact from my town could have changed my nation and I could have indeed changed the world.

Values-3 - Advice Column

Q1: My best friend wants to borrow USD $1,000 for a down payment on a used car. He promises I’ll get my money back within six months, but I expect it will take many years for him to repay it. My wife is not willing to lend the money to my friend; but I am afraid if I don’t, it will ruin our friendship.

What should I do?

Q2: I will be starting at the university next year. I have been thinking I would like to major in Fine Arts, but my parents insist I study business instead. They think that with a Fine Arts major, I would find it hard to get a good-paying job when I graduate. It has always been my dream to learn more about Fine Arts.

Am I wrong to go against my parents’ wishes and decide for myself?

Q3: While taking the National College Entrance Exam, I saw two friends cheat by secretly sharing answers. Some other students saw what they did also, but the teacher giving the exam did not. We think their cheating was not fair to the rest of us who studied so hard to make a high score on the test. If we report the cheating, we could destroy our friends’ opportunity to enter top universities.

What is the right thing to do?

Q4: My seven-year old son is in the second grade. At home recently, I overheard him using racial slurs about black people and other minorities. His father and I do not allow him to talk this way. I am concerned that he is being influenced to use bad language by his friends at school.

What can we do to solve this problem?

Q5: I am a 40-year old African-American woman who recently applied for a job as an accountant with a large company. I had all the qualifications for the position plus many years of experience. The final decision was between a Caucasian man and me. In the end, they hired the man. I am acquainted with him, so I know that he is much younger than I am. He also has fewer years of experience and weaker skills. I feel strongly that he was hired because of his gender, age, and race.

Is there anything that I can do about discrimination in the workplace?

Moon SurvivalYour space station on the moon has just lost the life support system.

You have 10 minutes to decide what to take with you.It is about 100 miles back to the home base.

You have the following items you can take with you.Rank the items from 1-15 with the most important item being #1.

You can only use each number once! (You may only have ONE Number #1 item!)You will need to make assumptions (Be careful about where you are!)Use your prior knowledge and teamwork skills to solve this problem.

After you rank the items from 1 to 15 in the My Rank, you will be placed in a group to come up with a Group Rank decision about what you should take.

You will make a presentation to show your TOP 4 and BOTTOM 4 items.You will need to think about Graphics and Icons for your Most (Top) and Least (bottom) important items. You need to name your Space-Station Team and design a Team Logo.
