Blog Nine: C.A.R.E Model

In order for individuals to respect others and they must respect themselves. For this to be successful, one must set goals that are ethical yet realistic to the world we live in today. Many people in the room you may be sitting in, to the world we share have different opinions. To make the best decision those compromises to other, a step-by-step process should be put into place. And what do you know, the 
C.A.R.E model does exactly that!

C:ompassion
-Understanding an individual’s perspective is a very important element on the basis of recognizing their what is right and what is wrong. By respecting other people’s outlooks, we can meet the needs of everyone, whether it is emotional needs or just general concerns, it is important to incorporate every person’s image of the correct decision. 

A:ction
-To take action, an individual must feel as though they are free from any potential peer pressure or difficulties. As a global community, we must provide others with the intentions that it is acceptable to have courage around anyone. If these notions are executed respectfully, it will provide perseverance in reaching goals individuals may have in mind. To ignite these goals, we must be optimistic towards others and allow opportunities to lead you to where your biggest aspirations may lie.

R:esponsibilty
-Trust, loyal, faith and confidence are many of the characteristics that feed responsibility. For one to be responsible we must provide rational suggestions and solutions that cannot only help you but help others.

E:quality
- Although achieving a perfect balance is next to impossible, striving for it in your everyday actions can seek solutions in other needs you or others may have. Showing respect others is one of the many ways to do this. This is because it will provide a ripple effect that others can admire and do as well. Accepting and honoring an individual’s personal and cultural difference is one of the many ways to allowing equality to flourish within our communities.

  1. All of these traits are absolutely necessary in affecting change in our world. The two that really jump out at me are compassion and action. Action is probably the most important as we can talk about doing something all we want but that really doesn't accomplish anything. Awareness is only helpful as long as because take the awareness and take action with their knowledge. Compassion also jumps out at me because it fits right in with empathy. To truly help someone I believe you need to do all you can to understand their situation. This is why trips to Kenya, and the DR are so crucial to creating a generation of informed youth that will have no problem taking action and making a difference.

  2. I completely agree with you and Sam, the CARE Model is a great "tool", and the traits describe in the acronym are very necessary to being a action driven global citizen. A person has to have passion about an issue, and once the passion is established, they can use the CARE model to take action.

  3. I fee like you excellently outlined the ideal "go for it" person. We need more people to demonstrate this in order for real change to be displayed during our time . I especially like what you said about compassion, it is very important to be able to see the perspectives of others. If we all learned how to do just that imagine what our world would be like.
