Assignment 1: Preview Reflection Blog Post: When to Get Involved?

I think it is ok to most of the time not to get into other people's business. I have learned this to be true because lets say person A is fighting with person B. I am person C and if I intervene for person A, then person C is not going to like me. Person A might fix things with person B, but now person B is mad at person C for having intervened for A. The same would go the other way around. I think the only way when someone should intervene is when there is a possible reason for harm. Otherwise, just mind your own business. You might end up with more enemies than friends. If the problem started with two parties, they need to fix it. No one knows the problem as well as they do to fix it. They will call a third party if needed.

Assignment 1: Preview Reflection Blog Post: Is it all about the money?

I think that life is definitely not all about money, but it is something we definitely need. People's actions are definitely influenced by money in many ways. Some of the wealthy often times view people that are less fortunate not as good as them. A person's views and values should not change when they have money, but it happens more often than it should. This happens even in the workplace. A lot of people who get promoted in a job start to act like they are better than someone else who has less power at their work. I just think that sometimes the more people have, the more they want. I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be happy if I had a lot of money. I definitely would be very happy, but that is not the only thing I need to be completely happy. Some wealthy people earned their money by working hard and being entrepreneurs. Others though just depend on others to do the hard work for them. One example is large business owners. A lot of them just hire workers to do the hard work for them. Basically, most of the time you need money to make money.
