Rights and responsibilities
Introductory lesson on the basic needs of human beings and how these are connected to our rights and responsibilities.
The Respect Basics -Respect begets respect
Respect begets respect. But to earn it ain't easy. It ain't too complex either.
1. Never be late. Respect their time and effort to come meet you on time. Give them the same courtesy at the very least.
2. Never be mean. Anything you want to say can be said in two ways - always choose the better way. Remember that yelling at someone is only acceptable if it would mean saving his life - say, to protect him from an oncoming car or to help him during a fire. Remember that Keep Calm poster? Do that. Always.
3. You can never go wrong with kindness. Even when people are being unkind, treat them with kindness. So you are afraid that people are going to take advantage of your kindness? Remember that karma is a bitch.
4. Everyone needs help sometimes. Always offer a helping hand - even as simple as giving your time to listen. Never be too busy for anyone who needs help. Similarly, never be ashamed to ask for it.
5. There are ranks and positions in organizations for a reason. Know your place and respect authority. However, treat everyone with the same respect and kindness - not because they are below you in the organization, you may treat them like they're beneath you. It had been said that how you treat the help is indicative of the type of person you are.
6. Never intrude on someone's privacy. Never gossip. Respect that people value personal space. Never pry. Remember that when people open up to you, it is a privilege and not a right.
7. It is a rudimentary principle that you must never be rude. A very simple act of texting while in the meeting or on a date is already a manifestation of rudeness. Never have a sense of entitlement, and think just of yourself or your own welfare. Remember to always be sensitive to everyone else.
8. Word of honor is crucial in earning respect. Always keep your word and do good on your promises or commitments. For what good are you without trust, respect and honor?
The above are just basic rules in earning respect. But I'm sure you already knew that.
Good habits
This document outlines good habits for children including waking up early, brushing teeth and bathing daily, going to school on time, speaking honestly, respecting elders, communicating with others, reading books, praying to God, and going to bed early at night.

Honesty is a best policy
Honesty used to be considered the best policy, but some argue that profit at any cost has replaced it. Dishonesty can lead to negative consequences like corruption, crime, and violence. However, companies may bypass honesty due to lack of transparency, competitive pressures, and stakeholder expectations focused on short-term gains. While honesty is a moral choice, the alternatives of a punitive "tit for tat" world or one with rules for everything are not preferable either.
Believe IN GOD
The document discusses different types of beliefs in God. It defines key terms like theist, atheist, and agnostic. Theists believe in God, atheists don't believe, and agnostics are unsure. It says atheists may believe when facing death, while agnostics realize God's presence at life's end. Theists remember God at all times. In the end, it thanks God for life's blessings and hardships, which bring one closer to God.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES IN LIFE WITH SKILLS
1) The document describes the author's journey from a young student who struggled in school to eventually becoming a doctor, as was his lifelong dream.
2) He faced many obstacles and failures along the way but was able to overcome them with the help of friends and finding new skills, such as learning to type.
3) Throughout his career he continued to face challenges but adapted by acquiring new skills and a willingness to change, which allowed him to have a successful career as a doctor and find new ways to serve others.

Responsibility Presentation.pptx
This document defines responsibility and explains why it is important. Responsibility means doing what you are expected to do and accepting the results of your actions. Responsibility is important because actions have consequences - acting responsibly leads to positive results, while not acting responsibly leads to negative consequences. Being responsible helps people live together safely and cooperatively by doing things like taking care of tasks, others, and property.
Responsibility+powerpoint
This document discusses the importance of responsibility. It provides examples of responsible behaviors like doing chores, keeping promises, admitting mistakes, and not making excuses. It also discusses responsibility in different contexts like at home, school, and in social activities. The document encourages taking responsibility for one's own actions and life. It suggests this leads to self-respect.
Responsible decision making steps
This document outlines a 6-step process for responsible decision making: 1) state the situation clearly, 2) list all possible outcomes, 3) weigh the pros and cons of each outcome, 4) consider how each aligns with your values, 5) make a decision and take action, and 6) evaluate the outcome of your decision. It emphasizes gathering advice from others, considering both short- and long-term impacts, and reflecting on decisions made to improve future choices. The process is meant to help make thoughtful, values-aligned decisions in a variety of situations.
Respect powerpoint 26 slides
The document discusses respect and its three components: respecting yourself, respecting others, and respecting the environment. It defines respect as thoughtfulness or consideration for feelings, wishes, rights, traditions, and belongings of oneself and others. Respecting yourself involves honoring your own emotions, skills, beliefs, and body. Respecting others means caring for others, embracing differences, communicating kindly, listening, and using good manners. Respecting the environment entails helping create a greener world and protecting nature and property.
Honesty
Honesty refers to integrity, truthfulness, and straightforwardness in one's conduct and interactions. It is valued across many cultures. Thomas Jefferson is attributed as saying "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." Stories are provided as examples of honesty being rewarded - such as a poor boy returning a lost money bag and receiving a good job as a result of his honesty. Reasons for lying include making oneself look better or avoiding embarrassment. To be honest, one should anticipate feelings of guilt, stop comparing oneself to others, accept consequences, do things that make one feel pride, and avoid situations where one might be compelled to lie for others.
Characteristics of a good citizen powerpoint
The document outlines characteristics of a good citizen. A good citizen is friendly to others, respects people from all backgrounds, and helps those in need like the elderly. They also keep their community clean, follow rules like traffic laws, and are respectful and responsible both in school and in their neighborhood. A good citizen guides friends positively, controls their anger, respects others' property, and obeys authority. They are aware of their rights and work to improve their community.
The importance of freedom
The document discusses how expectations and rules are placed on people from the moment they are born by family, society, and friends. While rules and expectations help provide order, there is no true escape from them. However, one can experience freedom by understanding the positive purpose of rules, standing up for their own beliefs, and using rules to their advantage to create the lifestyle they desire rather than feeling constrained by them.
Being Considerate
Teaching children about manners and being considerate towards others can be challenging, especially for young children where their view of the world is gradually expanding from self to others. Modeling of adults is the most efficient, but I thought by adding a fun way of learning about being considerate to others through storytelling in a rhythmic way. I created a poetic story through PowerPoint about manners and the “rules of living with each other”, adapted from “Disney’s Elegant Book of Manners”. This artifact shows my ability to use media form of communication to tell stories. It shows my knowledge and skills in PowerPoint as well as scanning pictures and editing them so they can fit into the slides nicely. As technology is constantly changing, and children that we are teaching are born in the digital generation, it becomes increasingly important to use technology effectively to communicate important skills and messages to children.

Govt
A citizen is someone who gives loyalty to their government in exchange for protection. Loyalty means obeying laws, paying taxes, and assisting in national defense. Citizens are also expected to participate in their republic by voting and engaging in political discourse. Citizens have certain rights guaranteed by the constitution, though some rights can be revoked if a citizen is convicted of a crime through a fair trial process. The United States has a two-party system, with citizens typically aligning with either the Democratic or Republican party when participating in the political process and elections.

Observing a Civil Rights or a Civil Liberties Event
"
[A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse.
" - Thomas Jefferson
Civil liberties and civil rights are salient rights enshrined by the U.S. Constitution and subsequent congressional legislation, executive actions, and judicial decisions. Whereas many times civil liberties and civil rights are used interchangeably, the two terms are distinct.
Civil Liberties
: "The personal guarantees and freedoms that government usually cannot abridge, by law, constitution, or judicial interpretation. As guarantees of "freedom to" action, they place limitations on the power of the government to restrain or dictate an individual's actions." (OConnor & Sabato, 2019)
Civil Rights
: "Provide freedom from arbitrary or discriminatory treatment (treating someone differently based on a variety of characteristics including race, religion, gender, or — in many cases — gender orientation) by government or individuals." (OConnor & Sabato, 2019)
In short, civil rights are a person's right to be free from discrimination based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, etc. Civil liberties are a person's basic freedoms. For example, basic civil liberty is the right to marry. If you were not allowed to marry because the court clerk refused to sign your marriage certificate, then that is a civil liberty concern. But, if the court clerk refused to sign your marriage certificate because you were LGBTQ, then that is a civil rights concern.
The
Department of Homeland Security's Citizen Resource Center
explains the civil liberties, civic rights, and responsibilities of U.S. citizens. Following are the rights, liberties, and responsibilities enjoyed by every citizen:
Rights:
Freedom to express yourself.
Freedom to worship, or not, as you wish.
Right to a prompt, fair trial by jury.
Right to vote in elections for public officials.
Right to apply for federal employment requiring U.S. citizenship.
Right to run for elected office.
Freedom to pursue "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Responsibilities:
Support and defend the Constitution.
Stay informed of the issues affecting your community.
Participate in the democratic process.
Respect and obey federal, state, and local laws.
Respect the rights, beliefs, and opinions of others.
Participate in your local community.
Pay income and other taxes honestly, and on time, to federal, state, and local authorities.
Serve on a jury when called upon.
Defend the country if the need should arise.

The document summarizes key events of Reconstruction, including:
1) Radical Republicans imposed stricter rules on the South compared to President Johnson's more lenient plan, placing the South under military rule and requiring new governments be formed that allowed African American men to vote.
2) Radical Republicans clashed with President Johnson over his firing of Stanton, leading to Johnson becoming the first president to be impeached.
3) The 15th Amendment was passed, prohibiting states from denying men the right to vote based on race, allowing African American men to vote. This led to over 600 being elected to state legislatures.
Greek citizenship
Citizens had some rights and responsibilities in ancient Greece, while subjects had no rights. Only free, native-born men who owned land were considered citizens. Citizens had rights like choosing laws, voting, holding office, owning property, and defending themselves in court.

American government powerpoint
The document summarizes the evolution of the American system of government from the Articles of Confederation to the U.S. Constitution. Key figures like Jefferson, Madison, and Washington came together and drafted a new Constitution that established a more centralized federal government with three branches: the executive, led by the President; the judicial, headed by the Supreme Court; and the legislative, composed of Congress. The Constitution and the addition of the Bill of Rights helped transform the loose confederation of states under the Articles into a unified national government.
Right to Vote_2022.pdf
The document discusses the importance of the right to vote in a democratic society. It notes that citizens often take this right for granted or do not exercise it, despite how hard others fought to achieve it. While some parts of the world still experience violence and oppression, citizens in the U.S. have the right to vote for their representatives, which is fundamental to a democratic system. However, the system does not always fully encourage or allow citizens to vote freely. The right to vote is protected by amendments to the U.S. Constitution that prohibit denying citizens the right to vote based on race, sex, failure to pay a poll tax, and age for those over 18.
Right to Vote
They all say that they are playing with the fire for freedom, and the right to live. That is right, it is the RIGHT to have RIGHT, and it is worth dying for to have the RIGHT. A RIGHT to speak; a right to have expressed; above all a right to select our representatives – the voting right is the right of an American Citizen that many are jealous of, at least that is what we are told. This is fundamentally critical for a civilized nation of a democratic class to have voting right. As President Abraham Lincoln best described democracy as the "government of the people, by the people, and for the people." For that government to be "by the people," however, requires that the people decide who shall be their leaders including Mayors, congressmen, senators, governors, and the president.
Legislative Branch, First Set of Slides
The document discusses the roles and structures of the United States Congress based on information provided in Unit 4. It summarizes that Congress translates public will into policy by making laws, overseeing bureaucracy, building consensus, and clarifying policy.

Athen's and u.s. government
The document summarizes and compares the governments of ancient Athens and the United States. It describes how Athens created one of the first democratic governments, with male citizens directly participating in the Assembly, Council of 500, and People's Court. However, in Athens only adult male citizens whose parents were both Athenian could participate. The US government has three branches and people 18+ can vote, while the President and Congress make decisions. Overall it contrasts how citizenship and participation in government differed between these two historical systems.
Pwrpt govt tech
The document summarizes the three branches of the United States government:
The executive branch is led by the President and Vice President. The President is elected by citizens and must be at least 35 years old. The term is 4 years.

The legislative branch is made up of Congress which has two parts - the House of Representatives represents the population of each state, and the Senate has two representatives from each state. They create and pass laws.
Hw#17 voting rights
Voting rights in the US have expanded over time. Originally only white male landowners could vote.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 reinforced protections. Women gained the right to vote in 1920 via the 19th Amendment. American Indians became citizens in 1924. The District of Columbia gained voting rights in 1961 under the 23rd Amendment. The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 in 1971.

Main causes of wwi ppt
The main causes of World War 1 were imperialism, militarism, alliances, and nationalism. Imperialism and the need for new markets and resources led European nations to compete for land and colonies, fueling rivalries. Militarism caused an arms race as nations built up their navies and armies. These growing tensions and rivalries led countries to form alliances for protection. By 1914 there were two opposing alliance systems. Nationalism also rose in Europe as countries felt great pride in their industrial and imperial successes, exacerbating tensions over territory and independence.
Analyzing imperial motives
This document provides context and instructions for an activity analyzing the imperial motives behind European colonialism in Africa in the late 19th century. Students will examine placards containing written and visual sources from the time period and identify which imperial motives - economic, political, cultural, religious, or social Darwinist - are demonstrated in each source. They will describe what they see, analyze the motives shown, and explain their choices. The document outlines the activity process and provides several example placards for students to examine containing quotes, poems, cartoons, and descriptions related to justifying European imperialism in Africa during this era.
French revolution
The document summarizes key events and outcomes of the French Revolution:
1) King Louis XVI ruled France with absolute power but faced growing debt and opposition from the people and other estates who did not want to pay taxes.
2) To address the debt crisis, King Louis called the Estates General meeting in 1789 but negotiations failed to raise taxes, leading to dramatic events like the Tennis Court Oath and Storming of the Bastille.
3) The Revolution established several new governments and produced influential documents like the Declaration of the Rights of Man promoting equality, liberty, and limiting the power of hereditary rulers.
American revolution
The document provides instructions for students to analyze documents related to the American Revolution and the resulting Bill of Rights. Students are asked to discuss a revolution comparison chart, analyze the Declaration of Independence by discussing important grievances, rank and discuss the importance of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and note similarities between the English and US Bill of Rights. They will also take notes on essential unit questions about why political revolutions occur and when change becomes progress.
Glorious revolution
The Glorious Revolution occurred when James II, a Catholic king, violated laws and ignored Parliament, concerning English Protestants. In response, Parliament offered the throne to James' daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange, who were Protestant. James abdicated and fled to France. This established constitutional monarchy, with the monarch ruling under Parliament's consent based on the English Bill of Rights, which protected individual liberties and limited the monarch's power.
The Revolutions in England
Parliament emerged supreme in England through a series of revolutions and civil wars:
- The English Civil War of 1642 was fought between the Roundheads and the Cavaliers over the divine right of kings and the power of Parliament. The Roundheads defeated the Cavaliers.
- Oliver Cromwell became Lord Protector after the execution of King Charles I, ruling without a monarch.
- The Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689 saw King James II flee and William and Mary invited to rule, establishing Parliament's supremacy over the monarchy in the Bill of Rights of 1689.
Regulation and deregulation
This document discusses examples of government regulation in everyday life such as water quality, food safety, traffic laws, and education. It then provides an overview of regulation and deregulation. Regulation involves government control over industries by setting prices, output, and standards. Deregulation removes government control to allow a free market. Specific regulatory agencies are outlined such as the FCC, CAB, and EPA. Reasons for regulation include protecting firms and consumers by ensuring necessary services and safety standards. However, regulation generally increases prices and lowers output. The airline industry is used as an example of deregulation, where removing the CAB increased competition and lowered airfare prices.
The role of_government_in_a_market_economy
This document outlines eight key roles of government in a market economy:
1. Protecting property rights to encourage productive use of property.
2. Maintaining competition through regulating monopolies and prohibiting anti-competitive practices.
3. Protecting consumers, savers, and investors through agencies that ensure product safety and regulate financial markets.
Market structures
This document discusses different market structures using the wheat industry as an example. It begins by defining the key characteristics used to analyze market structure: number of firms, product similarity, barriers to entry, and price setting power. It then explains the four basic market structures - perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly - using examples. The rest of the document analyzes each characteristic of the wheat industry in the 1990s using a graphic equation to determine it exemplified monopolistic competition. It provides instructions for students to analyze different industries using this same method.
Laws of supply__demand_equilibrium
The document discusses supply and demand in markets. It defines key concepts like quantity demanded, demand curves, quantity supplied, and supply curves. The law of demand and law of supply state that quantity demanded increases when price decreases, and quantity supplied increases when price increases, respectively. When supply and demand are in balance at a market price, equilibrium is reached where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. [/SUMMARY]
01 west africa kingdoms
The document discusses the rise and fall of West African kingdoms like Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. It notes that increased trade, especially of gold and salt, led to the rise of these kingdoms. The Empire of Ghana taxed trade routes in the 700s, growing rich. Mali emerged as a major kingdom in 1235 after resources grew scarce and trade routes shifted south of Ghana. The document examines how these kingdoms demonstrated the richness and complexity of African societies through trade, administration of their empires, and cultural achievements like those described in a primary source quote about the extravagant court of the king of Ghana.
Causes of the_crusades
The document discusses the Crusades between 1096-1291. It provides context about the goals of the Crusades, which were for Christians to retake Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule in order to restore it for Christian pilgrimage. Pope Urban II launched the Crusades in 1096 to unite Christians under his influence and give knights a purposeful mission. The Crusaders were groups like serfs, children, women, and knights who joined the Crusades for various reasons such as a desire for change, belief in the mission, or to have something to fight for.
Feudalism ppt
Feudalism developed in Western Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire to address the lack of a central governing authority. With the collapse of Rome, hundreds of independent kingdoms emerged to fill the power vacuum. Peasants, facing insecurity, offered their labor to landowning lords in exchange for military protection. This led to the rise of a feudal system where lords provided security and land to vassals who then owed military service back to their lords. At the bottom were serfs who were bound to the land and provided labor but had little freedom. Overall, feudalism established hierarchies of obligation and service to maintain order in the unstable early Middle Ages following Rome's decline.
Buddhism short
Buddhism originated in India with Siddhartha Gautama, a prince who abandoned his luxurious life at age 29 to seek enlightenment. After years of meditation, he achieved nirvana and became known as the Buddha. The Buddha taught that desire is the fundamental cause of all suffering, and that the path to eliminating suffering is through following the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path to achieve nirvana. The essence of Buddhism is the "middle way of wisdom and compassion" as shown through the 3 jewels of Buddha, the teachings of Dharma, and the community of Sangha.

The sources will show both positive and negative experiences.
