Essay/Term paper: How my actions affect other people

Essay, term paper, research paper:  High School Essays

The biggest way that my actions affect other people

is that of betrayal. Other people trust me with

responsibilities, and when I take a negative action

towards that trust it decreases. On the other hand, if

I have a positive reaction towards the trust that

awarded to my behalf, then I am trusted with more

and bigger responsibilities. Trust comes in many

shapes and forms, and there are too many people

in the world today for us to not go a day without

someone relying on us in some way. There are

many things that we are obliged to do on a daily

basis. Everything from me starting the car in the

morning and not taking off, to me going to school

everyday and so on. There are also irregularities in

our daily responsibilities such as me having an

English assignment on occasion or me having to

get to guitar lessons.



Every one of those things is a responsibility that if

neglected will have a negative impact on all parties

involved. If I don"t go to school, then my parents feel

like they are neglecting me as a child and I am

doomed for the streets, or they are given the

headache of trying to discipline me, which despite

all teenagers beliefs – discipline is not something

that parents have fun giving out. Also, should I ever

start the car in the morning and take off, my mother

now has to walk to work, or call Dad. They now don"t

trust me enough to know if I went to school or not,

and a 1000 lb. Monster has now taken off with a

very irresponsible and untrustworthy person

controlling. Also, should I ever not do that English

assignment that I was asked to complete, then Mr.

Cobbe is now given the headache of punching in a

zero to a kid who he honestly believes, "is one of

the top students, if not the top student in the class;

who is sitting at a 60-65%, and should be

mid-to-top nineties" Causing him not only a little bit

of grief but a lot of frustration.



So, all in all. My actions affect other people in many

many ways. I can not do something that I shouldn"t

do and not cause others grief. Also, even in the long

wrong. Despite how many good or bad decisions I

make, and how many 100"s of 1000"s of people I

cause either a lot of grief, or a lot joy. It is I, Adam

Abernethy, who has to live with the consequences of

his actions.
