¶ … personal interests. There are four references used.
In today's world, it's important to realize that work's not everything and that you need to relax and enjoy life. Everyone has their own way to unwind and leave stresses behind. This paper will look at some of the personal interests of people, how interests can influence people and conflicts that can occur.
How Others Unwind
It doesn't matter how good you are at your job or how much you love it, you need to leave it behind now and then. Adam Kaufman, who is one of Cleveland's top realtors, works 80 hours a work, but still finds time to pursue his interests. Adam feels friends are important and makes it a point to go to dinners and movies with them. Adam also loves traveling. He is making plans to go to Israel, and one day hopes to spend his honeymoon in Australia and New Zealand.

Personal interests can sometimes cause conflicts. In 1998, The University of Virginia President, John T. Casteen III was faced with a dilemma. Was he complying with state and federal conflict-of-interest laws since he supplemented his income by sitting on three corporate boards. Of these three boards, two of them had business with the University (Anderson, 1998). Due to the wording of the state's laws and since the University policy didn't give him authority to negotiate or approve contracts, he was relieved to know he had done nothing illegal nor unethical. However, after this he looked at things he participated in outside his job a little closer.
The Lost Art of Communication
You may not realize it, but your television may be costing you some wonderful conversations with those around you.

Personal Interests Life should never be limited to just a few activities, and I have two interests/activities that I take great enjoyment in. One is in the development of various technologies and information regarding these technologies, including the development (with a few friends) of an mp3 system for people to use to share audiobooks -- the fact that I can put my knowledge and skills to practical ends that enable
ethical reflection in weighing your personal interests against the objective responsibilities of your administrative role. Then, describe the ethical dilemma you selected, and include whether it represents conflict of authority, interest, or roles and explain why.

She concluded that culture and ethnicity are governed by geography and that these issues are the root of conflict. When one group
Personal Circumstances Even the perfect adolescence would be difficult -- it's hard to imagine young life today, in even the kindest of families, without struggles about identity, without fights about determining what one's future vocation might be, and simply arguing with one's parents. These are all typical pursuits of the typical adolescent, to say nothing of self-imposed and socially imposed academic pressures, and the pressures of preparing one's resume for college. And
