Quote Meaning

 



          This quote is about how you view situation and how you control you ethics in certain situations.  Ethics are  moral principles that govern a person's behaviors or the conducting of an activity. By that you can get that the meaning of ethics are a person's behaviors in certain activities, in  other words ethics are also your morals. Your ethics are the aspects that help you look at situations with different kinds of lenses depending on your usual morals. In the quote when they said "the lens you use to see the situation"the lens is your ethics. In the short stories "The Most Dangerous Game" and "Lamb of the Slaughter" the main characters had to use their ethics in certain situations that are important. In the "Lamb of the Slaughter" the main character, Mary, didn't stick to her morals/ethics and killed her husband. In "The Most Dangerous Game" Rainsford , thought about how he could use his ethics and morals and got out of the situation by thinking wisely. "Change your response, and change your life" is about choosing the right thing to do whilst sticking to your usual morals, are you going to change them? into worse? or into better? These answers depend on the person and how he acts. Some people get anxiety when they think about what they did right or wrong or how they can change their acts, others will become better people. When having good ethics, people can benefit by
-Learning they right to wrong.
-Learning their rights and responsibilities.
-Making the best moral decisions.
Some people actually intent on not making good decisions either to impress someone or because that person wasn't taught well since a really young age.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

The Surprising Science of Happiness | Dan Gilbert

  "Turns out that freedom, the ability to make up and change your mind, is the friend of natural happiness"      Dan Gilbert talks about happiness as it comes with making choices. Making choices doesn't literally mean having to choose, but he explains it in a way that is interpreted by having to live on with something that was manipulated and chosen for you, or something that you were able to contemplate whether or not you want it. He later on speaks about an experiment that was done on Harvard photography students. Some of these students were given the choice to take home one of their photographs and not look back at the other one. Whereas the other half, were given a reversible option in which they had the option to go back and change which one they can go home with.      In my opinion, that actually does make sense. In a way, that is why some people are indecisive and find making any decision extremely hard since they always find a possibility of ha...

Grit - spoken by Angela Lee Duckworth

  Grit        Angela Lee talks about something I've always believed in. That is that the students who are doing better in school than others, doesn't necessarily mean they are smarter. I've always believed in that because the students who do better in school are the ones that are only able to memorize, rather than actually understand. They are not trying to better themselves with knowledge that they can seek by themselves. They take the knowledge from their teachers and just apply it on tests.           Not that I wasn't one of these students, I very much were. I sued to study just for the sake of passing, nit worrying about if I'll remember the things I've learned after applying it on the tests and quizzes. However, as I've grown and realized that I was passing school in a very wrong way, I changed that habit. A very big part of changing that habit was changing school systems. Everytime I talked with anyone about school systems, th...
