Do you have chores or jobs that you have to do at home? What are they? Why do you have to do them? Do you like doing them

I have a job and my job is to just clean my room, and maybe wash dishes. I have to keep my room clean cause my mother likes a clean house she don't like it just a little clean she like it clean and ants it clean. Washing dishes I don't have to do it but my mother comes home from work late so I wash the dishes from time to time. I like cleaning my room cause when I have friends over I don't want them to say I have a nasty looking room.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Heroes may seem old-fashioned today. Many people are cynical and seem to enjoy discrediting role models more than creating new ones or cherishing those they already have. Some people, moreover, object to the very idea of heroes, arguing that we should not exalt individuals who, after all, are only flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. But we desperately need heroes—to teach us, to captivate us through their words and deeds, to inspire us to greatness.
Adapted from Psychology Today, "How To Be Great! What Does It Take To Be A Hero?"
Assignment:
Is there a value in celebrating certain individuals as heroes? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

To me yes there is a celebrting certain individuals as heroes.Why cause one he shows young people that there are good people in the world,and you can be just like them but you really don't have to have powers like cartoon charaters you can just be yourself and do good deeds for yourself nad others. Also celebrating certaains individuals as heros can also help the youth in wanting to be that person that is being celebrated meaning that one, or more young children or teens want to make themselfs better.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the prompt below.
People are happy only when they have their minds fixed on some goal other than their own happiness. Happiness comes when people focus instead on the happiness of others, on the improvement of humanity, on some course of action that is followed not as a means to anything else but as an end in itself. Aiming at something other than their own happiness, they find happiness along the way. The only way to be happy is to pursue some goal external to your own happiness.

Are people more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

People now of days are most likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness. Cause to me if u really want something go out and get mainly because if u really love what you want to do as a goal. Then when you finish your happiness will wonderful cause you achieved something that you been wanting for the longest, and your happiness is truly great.

Hypothetically speaking, which would you rather take, a three day holiday spent at home, but with your favorite people to spend with your favorite people in the world, or three days anywhere you choose in the world (all expenses paid), but with no one you really know well.

The last vacation I went on was with my family to orlando. Where we went to islands of adventure,Tampa to visit my family who lives up that wa,bushs gardens an more. When Im out of town it does necessarily have a certain place. Why cause I can't go to a place boring. And it doesn't necessarily have to have certain people cause I willing to meet new people. I think I'll stay at home with my favorite people to spend time with cause I have people that are friends and people I just know so I'll jus spent with my time with my real friends.
