Whats your Reputation...

First off to even talk about Reputation i feel like you need to know the definition. Reputation is the belifes or opinions that are generally held about someone or something. Its also a widespread belief that someone or something has a particular habit or characteristic.So now that we know what it is why is it important. Reputation depending on the person your talking to can either mean the world or mean nothing. A lot of guys in high school act a certain way to keep up a reputation. You can have the bad boy reputation, good girl reputation, the naughty girl repuation, nerd reputation, know it all repuation... so on and so on. In Beowulf.. Beowulf has the reputation of a hero and amazing human being. He has earned this because of all his hard work and will do anything to keep it even if it means dying by trying. In today's world we see people go to extremes to keep up their so called rep... Killing, drugs, stealing, and even sex.

Now what thinks can influence a persons reputation would be how they treat others, what they have done like wining a state championship, how they look, what they say, were they live, and who they hang out with. If you want to be COOL? You have to do certain things, say things right, like the right people, and even date the right people. If you ask me reputations should mean nothing. The only repuation I want is that im a good kid and thats good enough for me.
WHERE DO YOU FIT????

  1. I like that you brought up the part about how some people care about it and some people dont, that is so true! reputation is sometimes just how people judge you, and we shouldnt care what other people think as long as you are happy.

  2. Yeah, everyone has a reputation but not everyone cares about it. Just because someone thinks of you in a specific way doesn't exactly mean that you are that way.

  3. i agree with you! some people do things on purpose just to make their reputation better, and some people think their reputation is better then what it actually is.

  4. Your statement that our actions influence our reputation could not be truer. I would however expound upon Beowulf's reputation but that is my own opinion.

  6. I agree with your post! We earn our reputation if we like it or not. If someone is going to be rude to others than he/she probably will have a bad rep. Good job!
