Principles

Learning Outcome: Explain how principles determine consequences
Principle: Natural laws or fundamental truths that operate without our understanding or acceptance.
Integrity: To be true to your feelings, values, and commitments.


Honesty and loyalty are principles because a principle is understanding or acceptance and to do that you need to be honest and loyal. In the video the girl wanted acceptance and ignored her friend and principles but later was honest about it and was being loyal to her friend.


The three principles that I live by are: honesty, respect and responsibility
The consequences for violating these principles are that you could get in trouble for it.
honesty- people should be honest with other people, I feel bad when I"m not honest with people, lying would make you look bad
respect- is something you should have learned when you were little, respect your elders and the people around you. If you don't respect others it could make you look bad
responsibility- people should be responsible for stuff that they're doing or what they say that they're going to do. Not being responsible would probably make you look like a liar

Senior Project

My favorite project was by Brenda Carrasco- "The Graphic Novel". I liked it because I thought that graphic novels are interesting and fun to read and it was interesting to see what kind of stuff she made.

My least favorite one was probably the one about physical therapy. I didn't like it because of the way it was presented and I didn't find it interesting.
