Solidarity
 I chose this trait that I feel identifies with me. Whenever I can I try to help people, helping them with homework, listening to them or with money if possible.
I think that the world would be a better place if we all practiced solidarity
In this video I provided a man with a job, because he really needed the money to take his daughter to the hospital
I think another trait is represented as well, love! Loves for human kind, many people aren’t capable of worrying for their neighbor and I don't think it should be that way. I know there are many people in this world and if we all gave a little the world would be a better place.
We shouldn't practice 1 or 2 values but all of them whenever we can.

HW: VIDEO (NO VALUES)


In this video we can see a man who stoles a police car, and try to run away really fast. He´s missing a lot of values in this video first of all he stoles a car and he drives really fast, what means that he doesn’t really matter about his life he has not self love, plus he doesn’t respect the people who is on the streets or driving, he’s not being fair because he is taking something that doesn’t belongs to him.
Like we can see on the video, missing values is not a good thing, sooner or later bad things may happen to us, and if that doesn’t happen we may fell a bad person

VALUES AND ETHIC

Values
A personal and/or cultural value is an absolute or relative ethical value, the assumption of which can be the basis for ethical action. A value system is a set of consistent values and measures. A principle value is a foundation upon which other values and measures of integrity are based. Those values which are not physiologically determined and normally considered objective, such as a desire to avoid physical pain, seek pleasure, etc., are considered subjective, vary across individuals and cultures and are in many ways aligned with belief and belief systems. Types of values include ethical/moral values, doctrinal/ideological (religious, political) values, social values, and aesthetic values. It is debated whether some values which are not clearly physiologically determined are intrinsic such as altruism and whether some such as acquisitiveness should be valued as vices or virtues. Values have typically been studied in sociology; anthropology; social psychology; moral philosophy and business ethics.
Values: are something that is not objective, each person use their values in a different way than the other ones, values make persons act in a certainly way when they are facing different situations. Is supposed that we learn our values in our homes or at school but nowadays children learn values from television and internet too so we have to care about what they see or do. Values are something more personal

Ethics
 also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality—that is, concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice, etc.
Ethic: I think it’s dictated by the society, it’s not a personal thing. It has to do with moral philosophy and it try to determinate what’s good or evil, good or wrong, it’s all about how we have to act on society, what we have to do and tell us what kind of behavior we most have.

Homework by : Beto Leon, Strawberrieshortcake and Daniela Tarrin :B

Adults use the computer for many things, they use it to search for information as do children but not the same kind of information, they seek news of great importance; information a little more serious, in many or most of the cases adults use the computer to work but they also use it to check their e-mail, surf social networks and for fun as most of us do, they watch movies, videos and other things they find interesting.
