When you hear the word courage what comes to mind? How can you define courage? Do you believe it only has one meaning or others as well. Here's the definition i got for courage.
COURAGE: mental or moral strength to venture preserve and withstand danger,fear, and difficulty.
The reason why i choose this word is because i think it relates to the movie we watched THE WHALE RIDER . The word courage reminded me about the young girl in that movie Pakea of how much she wanted to prove to her grandfather that she could do all the other things that the boys did at school since the girls couldn't go because they didn't want them learning more than the boys.
I do believe that she had alot of courage she dis obeyng her grandfather letting him know that she was capable of doing alll the things that the boys couldn't for example when the father took the boys to the ocean to try and catch his shark teeth no one could but the next day when the took Pakea to the ocean she was able to give her grandfather his necklace back plus she also grabbed a lobster to eat that same day . So i do believe that courage fits Pakea exactly.
Here's a famous quote i found on the Internet by James Freeman Clarke and it says something like this: Conscience is the root of all true courage, If a man would be brave let him obey the conscience.
Here's are other sentences that i found on that same website. John Courage for congress. Finding courage within you. The physical courage of the astronauts and others. Teaching guide for courage produced in association with chard counts. Well understood psychical and moral courage matter in the military.
I also found courage in three different languages Italian-carggio, Spanish- valor, Dutch tapperkeit.

The word loyalty evolved as fellow-feeling for one's family, gene-group and friends. Loyalty comes most from naturally amongst small groups or tribes where the prospect of the whole casting out the individual seems like the ultimate, unthinkable rejection. In a feuadal society, centered on personal bonds of mutual obligation, accounting for precise degrees of protection and fellowship can prove difficult. Loyalty in these circumstances can become a matter of extremes: alternative groups may exist, but lacki of mobility will foster a personal sense of loyalty. Wars of a religion and their interminglings with wars of states have seen loyalty used in religious senses too, involving faithful support of a chosen or traditional set of beliefs or of sports representatives. And in modern times marketing has postulated loyalties to abstract concepts such as the brand.
Customer churn has become the opposite of loyalty, just as high treason once stood as the opposite of the same idea. Compare loyalty card. A person can be loyal to something and something can be loyal to a person. Loyalty is also seen in business in a variety of ways. As governments have grown in size and scope, some people are more loyal to a company rather than to a country. As corporation complexity has grown,people have shifted their loyalties to individuals rather than companies. As those individuals move between companies, they often take other people with them. Stock options are one method devised to keep a people loyal to a company. Loyalty means the stare of quality of being loyal, a feeling or attitude of devoted attachment and affection. Loyalty is faithfulness or a devotion to a person or cause.
In the movie Whale Rider the little girl was very loyal to her grandpa even when he was very rude to her. She really proved that she respected her elders. Respect is almost like being loyal. In the end he realized how mean he was to her. He gave her more respect and loyalty.
I found many websites looking for loyalty at: www.comarch.com It attracts new customers and develop your business. Also at www.kudoshow.com Kudo's employee recognition program think different; culture of giving. Also at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty it just helped me find out what loyalty really is about.
Some quotes I found for loyalty is:
"Loyalty is still the same, whether it win or lose the game; true as a dial to the sun, although it be not shined upon". "Loyalty is something you give up regardless of what yoiu get back, and in giving loyalty, you're getting more loyalty; and out of loyalty flow other qualities".
In French loyalty is LOYAUTE In German loyalty is LOYALITAT
In Portuguese loyalty is LEALDADE

The word determination comes from the Middle English from Latin. It can be said in many different languages; Spanish, Determincion, Italian, determinaione, and German, Entscheidung. Determination means the settling and ending of a controversy. The self-determination theory is to endorse one's actions at the highest level of reflection, and the freedom to do what is interesting. In my opinion it means getting done what needs to get done, and trying hard to achieve a goal.
Alexander Graham Bell once said, "What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it." The girl in Whale Rider shows that she has a lot of self-determination. In Whale Rider, the little girl is determined to prove that she is good enough to be the chosen one even though she is a girl. Her grandpa wouldn't let her because he wanted to respect the ancient ways. But she didn't let discouragement affect her determination to become the chosen one. She was faced with many challenges when her uncle was teaching her how to fight the ancient ways. She wanted to wanted to show them that she was worthy. Because of her determination, the grandpa finally accepted her as the new chief and he broke tradition.
While searching the internet i found many websites that have to do with determination. www.psych.rochester.edu/SDT talks about the self-determination theory. Also www. self determination.com talks about a working collaboration of individuals and organizations committed to the principles of self determination to help all persons create the life they want. www.ssa.gov/disability/determination.htm talks about the decision for disability determination services through the social security administration. The self determination committee is another website. It talks about how they help educate the African slaves descent on how to become self determined. Also the self determination- wikipedia the free encyclopedia shows the history of the word.

Integrity, an unimpaired or unmarred condition. In other words doing whats right no matter who's looking. The word comes from middle English, french, and Latin. Its basically the same in three different languages: German-integritat, Portuguese-integridade, and Spanish-integraidad.
The word reminds me of a story called 'Shooting an Elephant' by George Orwell. This is a book about solder who is hated by the people of the land and hates what he's fighting for. An elephant goes wild in the neighbor hood so he has to kill it or else he will be laughed at, which is a British solders worst fear. Although he feels that's its wrong to kill the elephant, and wants to just move it out of the area, he kills it. He wished that he hadn't, he wished that he had integrity. He did the wrong thing because everyone was looking.
Its a word that is used in print, speeches and so on. "Live with INTEGRITY, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss" The famous author Nathaniel Branden's words of encouragement. This word is used to be very motivating and bold. Like in the words of Charles Caleb Colton " Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of tricks and duplicity than straight forward and simple INTEGRITY in another." Text, like in magazines and news articles also use it to describe a person or organization. The Washington Post, for example" He has the character, honesty, and INTEGRITY to make a great president."
I was searching the Internet to find what kind of websites use the word integrity; two of them were church sites (www.integrityUSA.com and www.integrityworship.com). Two others were online computer companies (www.integrityservices.com and www.integrity.com). The last one I found was for horse, stock, and cargo trailers (www.integritytrailers.com).
Integrity, its a good word to live by. If its buying trailers, going to church, admiring others, wishing you could have it, even just writing an essay. Integrity is a trait everyone should have. It's doing whats right no matter who's looking.

Privilege.
Privilege is a right or immunity granted to certain people in order for them to carry a responsibility or to enjoy of something. I t derives from the Latin word privlegium.
Many books take use of this word, to refer to something great or hard to achieve; like in The Giver by Lewis Lowry; the main character called Jonas is given the privilege of holding the memories of a whole community so well organized, but that lacked feelings, and lived in an environment of sameness. It is a hard assignment for Jonas, since he will have to feel things he didn't knew about. Also along with that assignment he had to pay the price, he felt lonely and pain because of the memories he was given. He also had the choice of lying to other members of the community and read books that were different from the ones he used to read at school, those activities, regular members of the community could not do.
Privilege is a word that has been used for a long time. Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor said: "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive -to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love." This explains what privilege meant for him, in this case, being alive and do everything that came along with it. The most important from my point of view were to think, enjoy, and love.
Many of us see things as a privilege, and we all have a different concept of the word, but it all comes down to having a greater responsibility that we might as well enjoy.

Kawatta, différent, and dissimilis, in any other language the word "different" to me still means to stand out and/or be out of the ordinary. "Different from" and "different than" are both common in British and American English. The construction "different to" is mainly British because the 18th century, language critics have singled out "different than" as incorrect. Traditional guidlines say "from" is used to compare between two persons or things.
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." This is a quote by Coco Chanel that explains how being atypical is not something to fear but something to strive for. In the book The Giver Jonas was peculiar from everyone else because he was the only one who could learn of true pain and happiness. The community that Jonas lived in cherished similarities and knew of no other way of living. After he learned of an offbeat way of life that his community was ignorant of Jonas chose to run away and join a new community. Jonas' strive to be different lead him to his freedom.
In the movie "Whale Rider" the girl, Paikea, chose to break the rules to become a very important person in her village. In her village males were the ones who studied the ancient ways. She broke the rules and learned the ancient ways and inadvertently became the chief of the village by passong some of the most difficult test of the ancient ways. If she hadn't chose to be different and break the rules she would have never become the most important person in her village.
We all have the freedom to be different. It is something we should try to achieve and not to fear just because our community expects us to be similar. We must learn to fight for what we believe in ourselves and learn from our lessons of "Shooting an Elephant." Our differences will make us irreplaceable.
