↓Values ↓  **I was taught to respect everyone, including all life, possessions, property, and the environment. Being honest, caring, forgiving, and having the ability to empathize are very important things in my life. I think that I can be known most by my consideration of other people.**

↓Social Construction↓ **I believe that our society has become intensely greedy, and i believe that individuals are becoming vulnerable to this greed. People become star-struck for the celebrities, and are influenced by them. Advertisements, for example, might have that certain celebrity drinking a soda, as a result, people will buy that drink to be more like the celebrity. Also, people are easily influenced, and seem to not be able to make their own decisions. They conform to their surroundings.**

↓Behavior↓ **People are refusing to take responsibility for themselves. They constantly try to pass the blame to other people (as we learned about from Dan Granger) Nothing can be done to change this unless every individual is ready to change themselves.**

↓Inspiration↓  **I would try to be like Rosa Parks. She has strong morals, and stuck up for herself. Which i think is a trait to be envied. In a society where it is very hard to stop yourself from conforming to those around you, I would love to be able to say that when every other person has a completely different value system them me, i still back up my own beliefs and i don't conform to society' ideas or beliefs. **
