Rewarding Those Who Do Good

 
I recently came up with an idea for an organization or program that actively looks for those who possess good, self-less, and humanitarian qualities. These individuals are those who prove to do good in the world, follow the law, and want to set a positive example for all. The only catch is that these individuals cannot have a large or maybe  any social status what-so-ever.  I call this effort Rewarding the Hidden Angels. This organization seeks out individuals that possess such qualities and rewards them with a grant (maybe a $1000 or more) or a gift that is unusually extraordinary (individuals can be rewarded more than once over a certain period of time). I believe such an organization will affect the population by giving them examples of positive life role models and move people to do good and help others.

Friends Before Dating?


For the average person, getting a boyfriend or girlfriend is the common method of seeking compatibility for finding love or a companionship. Essentially, if one is physically attracted to another and if not already taken by another, then it seems the couple can proceed to the possible desire to date until getting to know the other person more and hopefully eventually getting into an official relationship. This is the common method for finding love or companionship in the United States. A test for compatibility, functionality, and to see what a person is really like. Although this is the norm for relationships, I propose a different structure. I personally believe one should be friends with the individual they are attracted to and to understand the other person better before entering the process of becoming boyfriend or girlfriend. The reason I state this is because when people are friends they can have the ability to openly express, demonstrate, and reveal their inner most thoughts, personality, and a projection of who they really are. I believe this is the best way to see what a person is truly like.

Before entering a relationship with a person you have interest in, I believe one should suppress their emotions and urges and have a sense self-discipline or friendship until fully knowing what the other person is completely like both internally and externally. It seems obvious nobody wants their feelings hurt. By learning about someone as a friend, I believe one can examine if one is compatible or not, thus avoid getting their emotions hurt in the long run. I believe by becoming friends first, individuals can find those who are truly compatible with them. I also believe if everyone were friends before entering a relationship, there would be more of a standard of potentially meeting a larger selection of compatible people and people available; many of which with potential unique and different qualities. Furthermore, I believe when one finally confesses how they feel to the person they desire to be with for the rest of their life, it will make the feeling all the more pleasant, special, and complete knowing the person you’ve selected fits to be your companion the best from all the other potential candidates.

An Idea for a Hybrid Multi-Government Structure


The following are ideas for a different government structure. These ideas are simply stated for the purpose of information. 

I call it a hybrid selection government structure. In America there are political parties, each one is different and allows citizens to choose base on their beliefs or political ideologies. I was walking through Barns & Nobles and looking at the various people looking at books that appeal to them. Each individual seems to have a unique and personal interest with that of which they are reading. I was wondering, what if like books and political parties, people got to choose their own government structure. What if the United States made a government with different branches that had different kinds of government structures. Each government structure had its own system of operation and could not interfere with other system of governments. It’s as if a person could have the ability to choose a government system designed for their interests and had laws, rules, and regulations that only applied to the individuals of that government. What if these individuals belonging to a specific branch of government system had elections within their own political parties, only for their branch of government, in which they could vote for candidates. Maybe an example of how such a government system can function in society can be the utilization of a registration card or personal ID. Each government presents its own perks, methods, pros and cons, and socio-economic differences. This would present a uniqueness in individuals following political ideologies to experiment what is functional, to choose based on lifestyle, economics, and beliefs. In addition, I also believe it’s necessary to state that all branches consisting of different government structures will be designed to abide by the United States Constitution and basic/ necessary human rights.

Another idea, utilizing this same concept can be to turn it into a micro multi-government structure or a structure I would like to call a micro hybrid selection government structure, where the same idea applies but is utilized in local governments or even individual towns. This idea is different from the idea above because it would allow individuals to move to locations where their government are utilized. Furthermore, this structure of government is also supervised by the overall UnitedStates government and dictated by the Unites States Constitution and basic/ necessary human rights.

In conclusion, perhaps such a structure could be the solution to the cycles of governments known by the greek philosopher Plato, Rene Descartes and other world famous philosophers. I believe such a system of government can bend citizens to move around in political ideology to get more functionality to current world situations and events. If citizens do not like a certain branch of government, they can simply change to another form of government and abide by those rules and laws.

The Elegance of Mr. Darcy.


The 1995 version of Jane Austen’s The Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite classic series of all time masterpieces. After coming across the BBC series, I revisited the world of Elizabeth Bennet and the irreplaceable Mr. Darcy and rediscovered an elegance in an era that I have relatively very little interest in and to desire to be fully immersed in the plots, settings, and unraveling of the serie's story. The film presents itself as a harmonious, elegant, and completely charming atmosphere. No action, little drama, and unexplainably I find myself fascinated and excited by the unraveling of the characters and story.

After watching the series, I thought extensively about Mr. Darcy’s character. A man who is often misunderstood, seen as having a strong and direct approach, and who’s real or inner side presents him to be one of the most charming, polite, elegant, respectable, and hospitable character ever. After learning to understand Mr. Darcy, I found myself with a great admiration for his character. Therefore, I have drawn the conclusion that there is a lot people can learn from Mr. Darcy. I particularly like the use of etiquette; respect (for others and for oneself), and the use of precise words (to be able to say anything in a way that is unhurtful, truthful, unpersonal, respectable, or with a great deal of sincerity).


In conclusion, if one is willing to watch the series with an open mindset and the ability to set action, drama, and any other content found in modern entertainment aside, I would heavily suggest watching this series.
