The Role Of Personal Responsibilities In Improving The

Quality Of Life In Our Communities Today
By Benjamin Emerlick

Junior

 

Personal responsibilities in your communities are values you must have. You must get it by starting it yourself so you have followers that do a good job for your community. This is a process of self-determination if they get up, clean up, and protect their investments or goals they have achieved during community roles that they have taken part in. Cleanliness is the best value that they can have in doing the roles in your community.  The quality of life has to be a concern on their part because if you do not respect it citizens won’t have anything to improve.

           

To start your important role in improving the quality of life in your community. Citizens definitely have to start the clean up. They have to clean up main roads, back roads, and even alleys to keep the town looking in top shape. To do this role there has to be no laziness and citizens have to have a positive outlook. People have to tell themselves mentally that if I don’t do this role, it will be a big step backwards. People should start by going around their own and their neighbor’s yard to pick up trash. It is up to themselves to get the job done not only for themselves, but the older people that can’t get up and do the things the younger society can do.  Also for the community and friends.

           

Setting goals are really the only things that I believe in a  lot, and I know that it works. The first goal citizens of your community should achieve is the litter pick up. The next goals are community service and the helping of the elderly. Community service is nice to have because people that don’t have much time on their hands need someone to help them do their work around the house or even in the home. Helping the elderly is the most respectable goal that the people of the community must achieve and if they do, their friends and their respect for them will increase drastically. The elderly will also respect them as adults and they will treat them like one every time they see the helpful citizens on the street or even in their own home. 

           

Drugs and Alcohol are other things we have to destroy in people of this country’s hometowns.  To locate the problem and make sure the countries kids aren’t being handed drugs or alcohol or getting any peer-pressure. People have to make house checks or get undercover police officers to go around and look for the problem. This is a very important subject we need to stress to our kids and some adults. Some good kids are being persuaded to do some horrible things that would mess up their lives. All it comes down to is it does nothing, but ruins someone’s life that might have a great talent that no one has and won’t be able to do this because of drinking or doing any sort of drug.  Alcohol has ran through my ancestors and it ruined one or two of their lives. My uncle had everything going right for him in high school. He had great educational talent and he was a great soccer player.  He had the chance to go to school to play soccer with a great college team and he let go of this great opportunity to stay in his hometown and be a nobody.  He let go of his dream to drink beer and get into trouble.  Alcohol is nothing to play with and should be faced with a fighting attitude.

           

The last thing I have to stress is how every community shouldn’t have any criminals or use any illegal substances. I know everyone thinks this will not happen, but it really can if people just stick to what they believe. Everyone goes through life thinking that he or she can do something, but it gets washed away with negatives that shoot them down. If the community can just get past all the negative thoughts and other people’s negative comments, then they can do anything. This could definitely happen and if it doesn’t, I believe, this will be the end of us. These are my thoughts and comments and I hope I’ve got the meaning of what I’m trying to say to the communities of America and many of the people that face these horrible things. The things in the community that I have written are some of the key elements every community needs. Help the community; do not harm it.

Q6- How does the fact the USA is a democracy make lawyers particularly helpful, according to Kathleen Sullivan? How does our diversity, wealth and size make lawyers particularly helpful?

           

A6- We distinguish ourselves in the United States from troubled regions or into a faction from which we can’t escape. So democracy makes lawyers try different states. Lawyers are bringing lawsuits on behalf of other states regarding tobacco usage. So this is a standard decentralized kind of response consistent with American democracy as to lawyers, and consistent with ideas that America is a decentralized and very fluid country. As to the diversity, wealth, and size the United States has been extraordinarily heterogeneous by world standards not just with respect of religion but with respect to race, lawyers responsibility, and in the 20th Century with respect for women. Wealth, When basic needs for food and shelter are widely satisfied, we often turn to what other societies would regard as nice and collective luxuries. And as for size we not a single social custom. Which give us a good choice of what we want to do and what career to take and that’s how being a lawyer can be a helpful trade to have because of its importance or their decision.

           

Q7- Ms. Sullivan claims bad practices are changed either by regulations or punitive damages.  Which do you prefer and why?  Can you think of an alternative?

           

A7- I say regulations because of it having a regulated choice.You have no regulations you have no practice at all because you would have no end, its a never ending task and thats why their should be regulations on everything. I can’t really think of an alternative because punitive damages were designed to make the company absorb the real cost and regulations organize activities, and save money for human interactions.

Q10-    Name three things Truett Cathy and Tom Lewis in common.

           

A10- They both did things that were helpful and gave to the needy when they were young and because of that they grew up to be great business and talented adults. They both were poor wealthy and didn’t just focus on themselves, but to the people who need stuff more than they did. No matter what obstacles they went through they both picked themselves up, for example when Cathy rebuilt the burned-out location as a drive-in restaurant serving fast-food, but customer response was so poor that he leased the place to another local restaurateur who had better luck and needed it very bad.
