Looking back at the brain exercise
I was surprised at the way I responded in the values, family, and compassion. The
idea that many of these traits were very similar made me look at what exactly
does this mean for me. The 3 different examples that I used made me sit back
and realize that I share many of the same traits that my parents do. This wasn’t
a complete surprise but when I had to use the pro v con approach and what
exactly would cause them to change that did in fact surprise me.
I understand that I have a strong
moral background and that most of my decisions are based upon these morals and
beliefs because of the way I was raised. The influence of the family and my
religious beliefs seem to be a dominant aspect of this approach. I did find it
rather interesting that I would change these beliefs if the situation suited my
needs to advance my decision making. The
ideal of trading a value to gain an advantage was surprising but the thought
process of achieving this goal in my line of work understood. The idea that I would
have to give up a belief or a value in order to maintain the safety of myself
or others I completely understood.
The fact that many people do not
like to change the person who they grew up to be is without question one where
they have to adapt to their surrounding or they will be left behind. Incorporate
America this is common in order to advance yourself and standout. The person
who normally would have let an idea be shared and not take credit for being the
author of this idea is seen. If the person does not stand up and look out for them
they will not be noticed and the person taking credit will advance. I found
this very interesting and I can understand why people behave the way they do
because of the faults of mankind.
