			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A good majority of folks think just like &#8220;the box&#8221; dictates that they do. They run when everybody is running, sleep when everyone&#8217;s asleep, and jump when there&#8217;s a gunshot in their backyard &#8211; they eat whatever dish is served up to them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3255860051" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/04/13/32558600519b323a72d9_1.jpg" alt="" width="324" height="243" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Say less than 10% of the human population is able to think outside the box &#8211; create their own thought process and adhere to it, irrespective of norms or the status quo. Many times they hurt and sometimes they are slowed down, but most times they get the promotion because the boss recognizes the power of independence within them.</p>
<p>There are precious few &#8211; say less than 0.01% of people on the planet who realize the absolute truth: that there&#8217;s no box. And so they create their own boxes and make everyone else think inside, outside, or around what they have made. Gates, Soros, Buffet, Slim, Branson, Jobs, Zuckerberg&#8230; they blaze their own paths, and most the rest of us just follow!</p>

<p></p>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
</p>
<p>Values  and Norms are the foundation on which you present yourself to the  world. &nbsp;Values and Norms can be based on a variety of things. &nbsp;It can  include things such as individual freedom all the way to topics such as  love and marriage. &nbsp;Values and Norms vary in a many different ways.  &nbsp;People base their values on where they are at the time. &nbsp;Values and  Norms can range from personal at home values to work values.  &nbsp;Furthermore, values differ across many cultures and countries. &nbsp;Without  values and norms there wouldn&rsquo;t be a foundation to put yourself on to  build who you are today.</p>

<h3>The Idea in a Nutshell</h3>
</p>
<p>Values  and Norms are all about how and why people act. &nbsp;They differ from place  to place and person to person and all across cultures. &nbsp;Without values  and norms all people would act the same and do the same as the person  besides them. &nbsp;Values and Norms provide that variety to make each person  and culture unique. &nbsp;Values and Norms provide insight to many unique  cultures. &nbsp;They help people answer the main question&mdash;Why?</p>
<p><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/topten_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/topten_1.jpg" alt="top-ten" /></a></p>
<h3>The 10 Things You Need to Know About Values and Norms</h3>
<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Values and Norms date back to the first man and woman. &nbsp;Values and  Norms don&rsquo;t have one specific place that they came from. &nbsp;They developed  as time passed on. &nbsp;Many cultures have developed the unique values and  norms that many people follow today. &nbsp;Values and Norms are based on  where you live and what you believe in. &nbsp;In America, we base our values  on freedom and the law. &nbsp;Other societies base their values on a wide  variety of things including Gods and other justice systems. &nbsp;</p>
<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Norms are the social rules that govern people&rsquo;s actions toward one  another. &nbsp;Furthermore, it&rsquo;s the reason why people act the way they do  towards their selves and others. &nbsp;Norms tell us what is normal in a  variety of situations. &nbsp;It tells us what to wear, eat, think, and so on.  &nbsp;It provides the basis of what we consider normal in our everyday life.  &nbsp;</p>
<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Norms consists of two forms, which are Folkways and Mores. &nbsp;Folkways  consist of the routine conventions of everyday life. &nbsp;Folkways have  little moral significance. &nbsp;They consist of things such as proper dress  code, correct eating habits, and proper language. &nbsp;A violation of these  will not result in a serious punishment but still play a huge role in  why we act they way we do. &nbsp;Although folkways may not seem as important  as other things they are still apart of who we are as an individual. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/600x600_1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="291" /></p>
<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  The other norm is Mores. &nbsp;Mores are norms that are seen as central to  how a society functions and how people socialize. &nbsp;A violation of a more  can bring great retribution. &nbsp;Mores consists of things that involve  theft, incest, cannibalism, and so on. &nbsp;Mores will vary from culture to  culture and in even some cultures mores have been enacted into law.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Values are abstract ideas about what a society believes to be good,  right, and desirable. &nbsp;People in a culture all value different things.  &nbsp;In America we value freedom. &nbsp;In other cultures they may have a  different value at the top of their list. &nbsp;In all, values form the  bedrock that each culture evolves around. </p>
<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Values differ from place to place also. &nbsp;Values are very prominent in  the household. &nbsp;The head of the household lays down those values,  usually consisting of quite of few. &nbsp;The top family values are  belonging, flexibility, respect, honesty, and forgiveness. &nbsp;These values  play an important role in having a harmonized household. &nbsp;Many families  will hold each other accountable to these values and help each other  learn from these values.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/diversity20collage220rows_1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="224" /></p>
<p>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Also, values take place in the workplace. &nbsp;These values define the  workplace that you work in. &nbsp;Many businesses set a list of values by  which the workforce has to partake in and live by. &nbsp;Most businesses have  zero tolerance for breaking these values. &nbsp;They believe that these  values will bring great harmony between employees and create a positive  work environment. &nbsp;The top values in a workplace are strong work ethic,  responsibility, positive attitude, and honesty. &nbsp;</p>
<p>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Like said before, values and norms differ all across culture.  &nbsp;Different cultures will have different takes on what they value and  what they consider normal. &nbsp;This depends on a lot of different aspects  such as their economy, government, and politics. &nbsp;Even in some cultures  their values and norms are decided for them. &nbsp;In America, we decide on  what we value and what we think of as normal. &nbsp;Even though values and  norms differ across cultures, it is something that we all can believe  in.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/bb32_1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="399" /></p>
<p>9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Knowing another cultures values and norms can give you a competitive  advantage over other people. &nbsp;It can give you the edge in doing business  with foreign investors and companies. &nbsp;Knowing what others believe in  and what they consider normal is shown to be a great sign of respect.  &nbsp;In a lot of situations the person with cultural knowledge will be put  ahead of everyone else and land the deal with the foreign investor. &nbsp;It  can also help you understand why another culture acts they way they do.  &nbsp;Having that competitive advantage helps you answer a lot of questions  before partaking in foreign business. &nbsp;It helps you prepare for any  situation.</p>
<p>10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  Lastly, values and norms are what makes you, you. &nbsp;Values and Norms  give us that uniqueness that separates us from a lot of other people.  &nbsp;People place different values on things such as family, income,  education, and personal appearance. &nbsp;These vary from person to person  depending on when and where you grew up and was raised. &nbsp;Without the  values and norms society would all act the same and there wouldn&rsquo;t be  any cultural diversity. &nbsp;</p>

<h3>The Video Lounge</h3>
</p>
<p>
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tbfTLrYXkfo"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tbfTLrYXkfo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>This  clip really does a great job showing what really goes on in the world  today. &nbsp;The world today values comedy and making fun of the social norm.  &nbsp;&nbsp;The video shows what society considers normal like opening the door  for someone, and it also shows how society breaks those norms. &nbsp;The  video is definitely right on point on how society acts today and shows  how violating a social norm is just as normal as following them. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/questionmark_1.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="408" /></p>
<h3>My Take</h3>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  The concept of values and norms still exist today, but society has made  it very acceptable to stray from those values. &nbsp;The world we live in  today has made it very easy to get away from what we consider normal.  &nbsp;Managers today really have to make sure that employees will be loyal to  them and their business. &nbsp;Managers are having to ask employees real  extensive question to make sure they are the right person for the job.  &nbsp;&nbsp;The word trust isn&rsquo;t what it use to be. &nbsp;Even though, there is a lot  of corruption in the world now there are still people who hold their  values to a high standard in their life and I really believe that. &nbsp;In,  all values and norms still take great precedent in many peoples life,  but there is one thing we have to remember and that is that values  differ from person to person and culture to culture. &nbsp;So, before judging  someone learn what their culture is and it will answer a lot of your  questions. &nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>World without Rules</strong></p>
<p>Everywhere in the world there are rules that make it possible for people to do the thousands of different things that are part of everyday living. Without such rules, it would be impossible to get things done. Everyone would be in a state of confusion. Two people could not even play a simple game of checkers if each one followed a different set of rules. Driving from one place to another would be very dangerous if all drivers made up their own rules of the road.</p>
<p>Most of these rules for everyday living are not found in books. Many are not written down at all. But everyone knows what they are. They are the things that help us understand what other people may expect from us and what we may expect from others.</p>
<p>These unwritten rules are part of what we call culture. A culture is the total way of life created by a group of people. It includes things, ideas, behavior, and speech.</p>
<p>There following are some of the examples of the different kinds of behavior that people expect of each other. You will see how a culture&#8217;s unwritten rules protect people from confusion and harm.</p>
<p><strong>Expected Behavior</strong></p>
<p>Have you ever seen an angry baby? Then you know how it behaves. All over the world, angry babies behave in much the same way. Their little hands clench into fists. Their faces wrinkle with temper. Then they take a big breath and yell. They want what they want when they want it. They have no other way to say so. But such behavior is only for infants. Part of growing up is discovering that one cannot always do as one pleases. After all, the world could not work if everyone went about acting like angry babies. People must learn to control their behavior. This is why every culture has rules that define how people are expected to behave. A culture&#8217;s unwritten rules of behavior are called its norms.</p>
<p>Children begin learning the norms of their culture when they are still quite small. They learn by being told and by watching others. As they grow older, they get into the habit of behaving in the expected ways. They learn to do this almost without thinking about it. They are startled if they see someone else go against the norms they have learned.</p>
<p><strong>Being Polite: A norm we expect from each other</strong></p>
<p>Many norms develop in an effort to make life easier and more pleasant. For example, one doesn&#8217;t start talking when someone else is speaking. That would be impolite. Being polite is something we expect of each other. We have learned that politeness makes everyday living much more pleasant.</p>
<p><strong>Setting Up Our day</strong></p>
<p>Some norms deal with how our days are set up. Many people in the world work from nine to five, with an hour off at noontime. But in countries with very hot climates, people may go home for four hours in the middle of the day. This is a time to rest. They return to work later, in the early evening, when the heat of the day passed.</p>
<p><strong>Norms and People</strong></p>
<p>Norms can tell you where people are from. In European countries, Americans stand out because of their table manners. As they cut their food and eat it, Americans shift the fork from one hand to the other. People in Europe keep the fork in the same hand when they eat. But always keeping one&#8217;s fork in the in the same hand is considered bad manners in the United States.</p>
<p>To say goodbye, you are used to putting up one hand with the palm facing out, and then waving it. But if you did this in a country like Turkey, people would think you meant &#8220;Come Hear!&#8221;. The norm in Turkey is different.</p>
<p><strong>Norms in Different Members of a Culture</strong></p>
<p>Norms are often different for the different members of a culture. In an American culture, for example, teenagers are expected to carry packages and hold doors open for their grandparents. Parents are expected to give their children comfort and advice whenever necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Norms that changes our behavior</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes, norms of behavior change. During the period of change, people may feel uncertain and confused. After World War II, the country of Japan experienced many big changes. The norm of behavior in this new and changing Japan was for people to act according to their own consciences, to their own sense of right and wrong. In 1950 a young village woman discovered that a local official had cheated in counting election votes. Acting as her conscience told her, she reported this to the police. The official was tried, found guilty, and put in jail.</p>
<p>People in the cities thought she had done the right thing. City newspapers praised her. But the people of her village refused to speak to her. Why? They believed that no one should be shames in public. This belief had long been a norm of Japanese culture. It was much older than the new norm of following one&#8217;s conscience. The villagers believed that the woman had shamed the official. They felt that she had brought shame to the whole village and everyone in it.</p>
<p><strong>Changes in norms amongst women</strong></p>
<p>Before World War II, young women in the United States were expected to grow up, marry, and have children. They were supposed to become good housewives and mothers. But after the war, expectations have changes. More and more women left home when they finished school. They went to big cities and took jobs. Many did not marry. Often, those who did marry still kept their jobs. Today there is a new norm that a woman can have a business life as well as a life as wife and mother.</p>
<p>The new norm is that woman may choose. But during the time that the norm was changing, there were problems. Young women who left their hometowns to take jobs were likely to be severely criticized by people who knew them. They were going against what had long been expected of young women in their country.</p>
<p><strong>Learning Expected Behavior</strong></p>
<p>As we learn the behavior that is expected of us, we are learning the social values of our culture. A culture&#8217;s social values are all the ways of thinking and acting that the people consider important.</p>
<p>In some cultures, it is important to try always to win or gain things that many people want. We would say that such cultures value competition. In Japanese schools, for example, students compete very hard for the highest marks.</p>
<p>Among certain Indian groups in the United States, it is considered wrong to try to do better than others. Some who wins too often at a game might not be asked to play again.</p>
<p><strong>Learning the Social Values of our Culture</strong></p>
<p>How do children learn the norms and social values of their culture? In most cultures, children begin learning from their parents. In many cultures, the learning goes on with grandparents, older brothers and sisters, and other family members as teachers.</p>
<p>But learning to follow the norms and accept the social values of a culture does not stop when a child steps out the front door. In fact, much learning takes place away from home. In most countries, schoolteachers play important part in helping children learn how to get along in their culture. They also learn from friends, neighbors, and religious teachings. They learn great deal from the mass media. As adults, most of us learn about our culture in our places of work and from the new social groups we join. For most people, learning continues all thorough life.</p>
<p><strong>Learning Norms by Observation</strong></p>
<p>One important way to learn is by observation. This is the act of seeing and noticing. A child watches what older people do and then tries to do the same. If a Quechua girl sees her mother and older sister spinning wool, she may also want to try. Just by watching, she begins to learn how to do the job. How to keep the wool from getting tangled.</p>
<p><strong>Learning Norms by Instruction</strong></p>
<p>Another way to learn is by instruction. This is being told or shown what to do and how to go about it. It is instruction when your math teacher shows you how to work new kind of problem. Your mother is instructing you when she shows you how to write a thank-you note for an enexpected birthday present that arrived in the mail.</p>
<p>Short stories also teach the social values of a culture. One story told, &#8220;The Boy Who Cried Wolf!,&#8221; has been retold for centuries. The story is about a little boy who likes to shout &#8220;Wolf! Wolf!&#8221;. Each time he shouts these words, other people come running to save him. But there never is a wolf. The little boys is just playing a game. Then one day when he is alone, a real wolf comes along. The little boy is truly afraid. &#8220;Wolf! Wolf! He shouts. But nobody comes to save him. You may already know what social value this story told us.</p>
<p><strong>Encouraging others to keep the norms followed</strong></p>
<p>All people everywhere have ways to encourage others to keep following the culture&#8217;s norms and respecting its social values. Hugs, kisses, smiles, and kind words let people know that we like what they are doing. Such things are called rewards. They are like presents given for doing right.</p>
<p><strong>Norms and Rejection</strong></p>
<p>But what happens when we notice someone doing something wrong? We do not smile or say kind words. We may frown or speak harshly. These are forms of punishment. A child who does not play fairly with other children may be punished by rejection, by being sent or kept away from the group. Adults who break certain traffic laws may be given a fine, a sum of money they have to pay as a punishment. People found guilty of such serious crimes as robbery may be punished by being sent to prison.</p>
<p>Most people usually follow the expected ways of their culture. It is only a small number who break the most important rules. This is why most groups, most of the time, work much as they supposed to.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A culture is made up of many elements. Such as symbols, language, norms, values and technology.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Symbols:</p>
<p>We conceive and recognize through symbols. We can judge a person on his physical appearance and gestures. Symbols are very important for the transmission of culture from one society to other society and communication is the most important way to transmit symbols.</p>
<p>Language:</p>
<p>Inner feelings and thoughts are transmitted through language. Combinations of symbols is language and there are different languages in different regions of the World.</p>
<p>Values:</p>
<p>Values are the guidelines what to do and what not to do in a particular situation. Generally people follow the behaviors in the organization in which they work.</p>
<p>Norms:</p>
<p>Norms are standardized behaviors of doing something. There are some types of norms such as:</p>
<p>Folkways: normally prevails in any society and if the people of that society don&rsquo;t follow them then there is no punishment is given to them.</p>
<p>Mores: are to be implemented by a particular society and if the people of that society don&rsquo;t follow them then they will receive harsh reaction from society.</p>
<p>Laws: If someone violates the law then the society and state both are there to punish that member of society.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The culture of any society is very important for the human beings living in that society they are always bound to follow that culture whether they like it or not.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are puppets in the hands of culture and we are controlled by the culture. Human beings are not free they have to adopt the values, norms and practices of that particular society. Every family has its own values. There is always a societal pressure on the citizen of any society culture control the habits of these citizens. If people are getting education it means they wanted to improve the quality of their current level.</p>
<p>The situation always define what is good and what is bad. Man has made every thing for his survival even the poison is also good for health if it is used in medicines. Culture sets the standards of any society and the most powerful and effective phenomena of the society. Culture is the controlling agency of any society. There are some people who don&rsquo;t follow the customs of society and they are called :</p>
<p>1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Abnormal because they are against the normal patterns of culture</p>
<p>2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prophets because they bring new patterns of culture in society</p>
<p>3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Revolutionists because they are against certain patterns of society and they wanted to bring change in these patterns.</p>
<p>Culture always tunes the behavior of its citizen and it has anatomy in its structure. It shapes or molds our behavior. We even change our personalities according to the culture of any particular society. Culture is composed of symbols, language, norms, values, behaviors and technology.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Is there a correlation between society, dress, mood, and profit? We think so.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dressing up in costume to go to work is taboo on days besides Halloween, but we believe dressing up in the workplace can have a positive domino effect. We often fall so deep into societal norms that we can lose sight of simple life concepts. For example, happiness is a great motivator. Happy workers means higher productivity, higher customer satisfaction, and higher morale. Here are some examples of times we feel management should break the norms of our culture to give their company a boost.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/02/25/40588848326a55cab97d_1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<h3>1. Capitalize on the Holidays</h3>
<p>There is no better time to dress up for work than over the Holidays. In retail, Christmas is a make-it-or-break-it time for sales goals for the entire year, so anything that can be done to generate interest should be attempted. Dressing up a worker as Santa is sure to get some attention for the store. Santa and elf costumes are also a great addition to the company Christmas party.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>2. Halloween Fun</h3>
</p>
<p>Allowing workers to dress up on Halloween is a great way to build company morale. Some firms will even give prizes to the workers who come dressed the best. If you are thinking about a costume to wear to work, remember not to make it too revealing.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>3. Opening Day or Playoffs</h3>
</p>
<p>In many cities, opening day in baseball is treated like a holiday. Dressing up as a baseball player for the start of the season is a fun way to show you are a fan. If your team is in the football playoffs, maybe the boss will let you come in dressed as a football player. At the very least, try and get the company to let you come to work on these days in spirit wear, showing off your love for your team.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>4. Big Movie Opening</h3>
</p>
<p>Several times a year, there is a huge blockbuster movie release which presents a golden opportunity to wear costumes to work. For latest Harry Potter movie, workers could come dressed as Harry or Lord Voldemort. The latest drama in the <a href="http://www.twilightthemovie.com/" target="_blank">Twilight</a> series also presents the opportunity to dress up as your favorite vampire. Be creative and have a little fun.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>5. Co-Worker Birthdays</h3>
</p>
<p>A great way to celebrate a birthday at work is to have co-workers dress up as the person whose birthday it is. Reuse a wig from one of your other costumes to come up with a look that resembles the birthday boy or girl. Have everyone dress in that worker&#8217;s favorite color and make it a real celebration.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>6. Company Anniversary</h3>
</p>
<p>If the company is about to celebrate an anniversary or founder&#8217;s day, figure out a theme and have everyone dress appropriately. If the firm is in construction, maybe you could dress like a carpenter or painter.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>7. Employee Spirit Day</h3>
</p>
<p>When companies have morale-boosting days, it is another chance to dress up in costumes. A little costume competition will definitely turn some heads in the office. Try a Cleopatra costume played down for an exotic look, or dress up as your favorite board game. A dress made out of the Twister layout will generate a little conversation.</p>
<p>Wearing <a href="http://www.buycostumes.com/browse/Adult-Costumes/Humorous/_/N-3iZn/results1.aspx" target="_blank">costumes </a>to work is a great way to break up the monotony of the day-to-day grind. It gives people a chance to express themselves and will make them look forward to coming to work. What costume will you wear to work?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At present, people exert so much time and sweat working so as to be able to buy tangible things, which has made their lives more carefree. Together with this scenario, a contention has been made, of which I totally disagree, that several traditional values and rituals have disappeared.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Indeed, one&rsquo;s belief s and customs are deeply rooted on one&rsquo;s character. It is something that cannot be taken. The capability of many nowadays to buy material things does not equate to the loss of traditional values and rituals. On the other way around, tradition has improved with it. The value of sharing is further acknowledged since a lot of people are now able to bring happiness to myriads of impoverished families as they give some of their material blessings to the destitute ones. Furthermore, the custom of family togetherness, whether by physical or virtual means, is still highly present since bonds remained intact with the constant giving of gifts and other material things to different family members.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the Philippines, for instance, traditional values and customs remained firm despite the capability of many Filipinos to acquire material things. The value of care and love as well as the custom of respecting elders and celebrating fiestas continued to be in strong footing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Beliefs and rituals may be affected by material wealth. However, this does not imply the loss of it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In a nutshell, material capability has basically made life easier without causing the loss of traditional values and customs.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Position can bring good or bad for us.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Topic around the office is always interesting to be addressed and discussed. News and information about the positions and promotions that will be contested or in which we work and in which we move, become the focus of interest for the internal community of the institution concerned. Community talk about who is worthy to be promoted to the position. As for those who nominated for these positions, also always hope and a race to be able to obtain the job position. Especially with regard to public office, many people are racing to gain a position as public officials by using a variety of ways.</p>
<p> The question is, if the job does offer a tremendous advantage to us, so many people want to get it?. Perhaps many of us would answer, of course, will provide many benefits for anyone who occupied it. The reason is classic, that the office would increase the prestige for us. Position will provide material benefit for us. Position raises our social status. Position will be easier for us in getting something. And many more benefits that will be obtained. For the arguments above, concerning this question I agree and disagree. But there are other questions that maybe are a little less attention in more depth about the philosophy and the consequences of occupying an office. In particular public office. The question is, whether the positions that will be obtained by us will give good value for ourselves, our families, and the good of the office itself?.</p>
<p> Some of the following points are expected to slightly provide alternative viewpoints and answers to the above, concerning the consequences of a position that will be accepted. At least there are some consequences that should be considered by us to see a position that will be provided by us. Considerations include:</p>
<p> <strong>1. Are we really the right person and the best available at the moment and deserve to receive / go at it?.<br /></strong> <br /> If we have measured the extent to which the decency we go at it, then we can consider further in order to accept or reject the job. The highly fatal is, if it turns out we are not able to assess our ability in office in the offer or that are expected by us. When this happens, and we were elected at it, then we can not give the best results to the place where we go at it. Another concern is when we encounter the fact that the positions that we desire it was not in line with expectations and characteristics of ourselves. This condition will eventually make our work performance declines, and also make ourselves depressed. Whereas previously we are looking forward to the position.</p>
<p> <strong>2. Does this position will provide good to me who occupied it?.<br /></strong> <br /> Many cases have taught us, especially regarding public officials, directors, managers and many other positions. Where personally from their positions after the change direction is not good for themselves. Not ready for his mentality and cultural background very different from the person concerned, usually the cause of this is happening. A person who previously was known as an honest, simple, familiar, and have values other positive behaviors, can easily turn into the opposite of the beginning of his personal traits. Many of us know someone who used to be very honest, but when he was occupying a certain position, personality became greedy and tends to lead to corrupt. Many of us accept the fact, that there is a friend we are being very good, generous, friendly and familiar to us, but once he got the promotion of a strategic position, personal turning into a not unpleasant. And many other contradictory stories. For me personally, values and norms of goodness that we have adopted is very valuable if need be exchanged for an office. Values and norms of kindness will give comfort to our real life. When we have entered the values and norms that are less good, it will be difficult to re-make this into a personal private good.</p>
<p> <strong>3. What, when I get the position will also provide additional benefit for children, couples, and families, as well as my community?.<br /></strong> <br /> Nothing much can I review in this point, just based on two points above explanation, at least we should be able to anticipate the consequences of the less well that can happen to couples, children, families, and our environment. Even not to a position that we desire, it brings destruction domestic life, family, and our social life.</p>
<p> When we feel all the above points we can anticipate and meet the value of kindness, then indeed you deserve to become an official. You are indeed worthy of the position. Since you are providing additional benefits for the good of yourself, family, work environment / activity, and social environment where you are. And that position has also been provided for your kindness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why should revile and vilify our own country on various issues arising in domestic and foreign policy concerns in our country?.</p>
<p> Increasingly difficult to get a job right now so expensive plus the necessities of life that must be met to make increasingly felt uncomfortable to stay in this country. Work very hard to get, if any work results can not meet the various needs that exist. Health care costs for hospital treatment and extraordinary expensive. Children&#8217;s education costs are also very expensive. Taxes never want to compromise. While taxes are paid with difficulty just wasted a lot for various government policies that do not benefit its citizens. Why are our tax dollars thrown away to war? Removed to create the world&#8217;s apparent domination of the international and existence in the eyes of the world that has no impact to the residents and communities in the country. Not to mention the corruption that increasingly uneven. Great abroad, but can not solve the problem of the welfare of its citizens own and many other basic problems affecting their citizens.</p>
<p>Who is wrong? Does this country not to notice us?. Countries can only sue our obligations as citizens, without going to really consider our condition?. This country really capitalist that made man only as a source of income and productivity alone. Humans are not machines. Humans have hearts and minds. Humans are human. When conditions are like this, why should we devote to our country? While the state does not pay attention to the fate of our citizens?.</p>
<p> Really like that the condition is my brother?. Is it true that the State does not pay attention to our citizens fairly and equitably?. Is it true that this country simply siding with the handful of citizens in particular? Our country is playing favorites, making the rich richer while the poor poorer and miserable?.</p>
<p>My brother&#8230;. Actually, all this happened not one of these countries to us all. State simply following our will and the will of the majority of its citizens. When we choose to make our country as a capitalist country, so be it capitalist State. When we want and set the majority of our country into the State colonizers, then our country will direct itself as a colonial state. All of us who drive. Is not our democratic country?. All internal policies that occur in our country, is our will. Why do we choose our leaders and representatives who turned out was not a good person. Error is in our hands for failing to choose the people we trust to lead and make a variety of policies relating to the fate of all elements of our lives as citizens. Why are we silent when the leader and the representatives we elect to make policy that is not our prosperity? In fact they make policies that drain the various financial sources and make this country bankrupt by war, corruption, and many other unpopular policies?. Leaving the tax that we submit to the sense of love was used incorrectly according to our needs.</p>
<p> This condition is a result of our error. Not our beloved State Error. The country is very dear to its citizens. The country is just following the will of our citizens. When good and careful ourselves as citizens of this country set a goal, then our country will be good and strong. The choice is in our hands all the brothers, in the hands of citizens. Not the hands of the State. Because of my brother &#8230; .. whatever happens, do not ever speak ill of our own State. Because our country has never vilify us, we are the ones who always make our own country to be ugly.</p>
