"REQUIEM FOR A DREAM"

I chose this movie because it talks about the problems of 3 friends that decide to get into the drugs buisness. They suddenly start to have luck and they started to grow in the buisness. But then one of them went with some friends in a truck and one of the friend with he was take out a gun. The police caught them and one of the main characters went into jail. So the other 2 friends take him out of jail, but in that move, they lost all the money. At the end they finish one in the hospital, another again in jail and the woman finish doing whatever it takes to get drugs.
    This move talks about self respect that at the end, they all lost it. And responsability, that since the beggining, they didn´t have any of this for themselves.

The GOLDEN rule in respect

 "TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED", That´s the golden rule generalised. This means that if you are going to treat badly a person, don´t expect to be treated good. Otherwise, if since the beggining, you treat good the person, he or she will treat you the same.
 This is annother way to express it

What is Character?

What Is Character?

Dictionary Definition of Character

One dictionary defines character, in the sense we are considering here, as "the complex of mental and ethical traits marking a person." In another dictionary, character is said to be "the stable and distinctive qualities built into an individual's life which determine his or her response regardless of circumstances."

Our Character Is Who We Are

Abraham Lincoln said, "Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree." Our character is not just what we try to display for others to see, it is who we are even when no one is watching. Good character is doing the right thing because it is right to do what is right.

Everyone Has Character

Character transcends race, religion, education, position, age, gender, and personality. People sometimes think of character as something a person either has or doesn't have. They say, "He has character," meaning he has good character. We recognize the truth that everyone has "character" and we distinguish between "good" and "bad" character.

Our Character Determines Our Responses

The definitions above said, character is a "complex of mental and ethical traits" and those traits, or qualities, are "built into an individual's life." It is those qualities, those character traits, that determine a person's response in any given situation.
