Reputation

Reputation is the estimation in which a person or thing is held. When I think of reputation, I think of it mostly being a positive subject but can be negative. Reputation can be very positive for example in businesses. Businesses want to have their name known to the consumers that they are know for their quality, friendliness, reliability, etc. Businiesses take lots of time in wanting to build up their reputation because if they don't have a good reputation, their business would fail. This is the same for people, too. When I think of reputation used in a negative way, various classmates pop into my mind. Some kids think that since they are popular, or have a high reputation; they think that they are better than everyone else. This is where repuation is abused. Reputation is good, if used in the correct manner.
