House of Values

Family

This Value is important to me because my life is incomplete without my family. Without this value, I wouldn’t be able to do a lot of day to day things because my family is supportive of my choices and guide me through what is right and what is wrong. My family has helped to shape a lot of my other values, making my life easier to navigate and understand. E.g. My family had set ground rules, implementing respect and patience, so throughout my upbringing I was able to learn the importance of respect and patience. At times I wasn’t willing to be patient, however, I always remembered the value of patience and was able to resolve a lot of problems this way. Making my life easier and more calm.

Ambition

This Value is important to me, because Ambition helps a person to understand what their aim is and what they expect to aim for. This Value is important because it is helpful in setting a standard, a standard in which you know what to expect and you can be proud of. Ambition is the main drive for Hard-Work and Dedication. Ambition is a value that requires drive, something to strive for and an end goal. E.g. In year 7, I had an Assessment that I wasn’t excited for, however, I wanted to get a good mark, so I studied hard and dedicated my time to studying. I did this in order to clear any queries and become more stronger in that topic, as well as get a good grade.

Confidence

Confidence is an important value, because it helps you to move forward with people and opportunities to come. It gives a sense of satisfaction and optimism to your life. It also helps with your decision making, which keeps you satisfied and away from Mistakes. Confidence motivates you and helps other values such as resilience. If a person is more confident, they feel more comfortable around people and are less prone to making mistakes that can put them in a bad spot. It improves relationship, because the other person feels relaxed rather than intimidated, this helps to calm the situation as well as keep the conversation going. Finally, confidence also helps with communication as people can understand you better, and acknowledge what you have to say. This results in pride as well as a sense of relaxation. E.g. This one time, I had to present a power-point to a group of students, I rehearsed it thoroughly and made sure that I was clear and easily understood. I tried my best to engage the audience, even as far as to asking the Audience Questions. This was an effective method and thanks to it, I was able to get different opinions and output on the task, making it easier to understand as well as explain.

The Bad-Donald Trump

• Q6)

Donald Trump is approximately 75 years old and has a variety of eating habits that have resulted in a significant increase in cholesterol, fat and vulnerability to deadly health conditions. The eating habits of Donald Trump are questionable, as he is careless about what he eats and the quantity he eats. On average, Donald consumes 2400 calories from McDonalds daily as well as snacks and an alleged 12 cans of diet coke. Due to his large consumption of foods that are unhealthy and dangerous, he puts his body and teeth at risk while consuming all that fast food and soda. As a matter of fact, sometimes Donald Trump avoids breakfast and fasts until the evening, so that he can eat to his heart’s delight. This isn’t good because; He misses out on breakfast, the one meal that helps people get through the day, this results in him not being able to work through the day due to his increased fatigue and tiredness. However, after evening he “Rewards” himself with unhealthy foods such as McDonalds, large number of red meat, a lot of snacks and 12 cans of diet cokes. Due to this, he overeats and consumes more than 400 calories over the average calorie intake.

• Q7)

Donald Trump has a obese and stocky build, he is 190 cm and most accurate sources claim he weighs approximately 111 kg. He looks unhealthy due to his weight and obesity, a common issue a lot of American people struggle with. Some reasons to back up why Donald Trump is unhealthy are; his unhealthy and junk filled diet, his lifestyle and what he likes to do in his spare time. Firstly, Donald commonly consumes a large number of calories and avoids a balanced diet, something that can benefit his health in the long run, putting him away from deadly health conditions caused by junk food. Secondly, Donald Trump constantly travels and doesn’t have “Time” to eat a well-balanced meal, hence he eats junk food because of its convenience, accessibility and simplicity. All these contributing factors cause Donald Trump to eat these foods, resulting in bad and compulsive eating habits. Finally, in his free time, Donald likes to occupy himself by eating junk, he commonly does this to pass time and get through his day without any hassle.

• Q8)

Through his years of presidency Donald Trump has promoted a lot of unhealthy behaviours and messages. These messages have resulted in mixed opinions, however, most reasonable people will agree that the claims mentioned are all blasphemy. The worst of all these claims, came amidst the horrible Covid-19 outbreak, and outbreak that had hazardous effects especially to America. During his span as president, Donald Trump didn’t take any action up the sudden death rate and made suggestions that all medical practitioners would advise against. Firstly, he gave the people of America the wrong message, claiming it was safe and suitable to inject themselves with sanitiser to combat this horrible virus. This claim had a lot of flaws, as it send mixed messages among the people. The first and foremost issue with this claim, was that there was no science and medical study to support his so called-facts. This would be unhealthy for the people and nation, as injections could be used for the vaccine and not wasted on sanitiser, something that could come with unpredictable medical risks. Secondly, he didn’t acknowledge the health and safety of his people and stayed idol through this troubling times. To make matters worse, he even claimed that the flu was worse than the virus, regardless of all the changes, deaths and interruptions that had occurred on a local and global scale.

• Q9)

Children should definitely not look up to Donald Trump as an idol due to his horrible eating habits and lifestyle as well as his negligence to millions of people that suffered and had to pay the consequences. Donald Trump is clinically obese and is renowned for starring in fast food commercials due to his diabolical obsession with junk food. He promotes an unhealthy lifestyle and bad decisions commonly, as children and adults have access to his toddler like actions during important events or how he openly admits to consuming 12 cans of diet coke daily. With all of this exposure, children are likely to look up to someone who seems funny and hilarious while not truly understanding the devastating damage he has done to himself and the nation he was elected to run. E.g. Not taking care of his body properly as well as proving his unwillingness to help people.

• Q10)

Most things the media highlights about Donald Trump are the truth and realistic, due to all the evidence the media and general public view first-hand. However, the media can sometimes exaggerate a point in order to come across to a variety of customers and people interested. The Media takes their story from their audiences perspective and does whatever it can to make headlines and attract customers and controversy. In a regard, it works as initially most audiences believe what the media makes, e.g. If the media was to use a common man, no one would be interested in the story unless he does something insanely controversial, whereas with celebrities the media highlights the small things and twist the angle of the story to portray the celebrity as a bad person. However, as I mentioned previously, I personally think the media is spot on with all the details about Donald Trump.
