I feel that the job desciptions and duties will help me; but I am afraid the interviewer will look down if they found out I got fired. If I should put it on the resume, what should I say to them if they question pops up?

It depends on the reason of fire in all reality.
Usually on there they ask why you were fired, if it was for a reason that you don't want them to know, don't put it.
If the reason has an excuse, then put it. You can always speak about it to someone as well during an interveiw. After all, you can't judge a book by it's cover.
If the question pops up about why you got fired, simply tell them. Mistakes are made to be learned from, yes?
I've had to put a drug paraphanelia charge on my job applications for the past few years... I'm not proud of it, but I am past the phase I was in during the time.
I am gainfully employed at the moment as well.
My wishes are with you, follow your heart and you won't go wrong.

You should, but you don't have to say you were terminated or fired. That would be asked of you during the interview. In case that question is asked this how you should handle it.
Do not reveal any negative situations unless directly asked. If you must explain a negative situation, keep it brief and blame-free. Emphasize how you have learned from the situation and emphasize that the same problem will not reoccur.
If you simply had a troublesome relationship with a former boss or coworkers but were not fired, there is no need to share these negative details in an interview.
Peace and blessings!

Do not put the fact of the firing on your resume. Your resume should not include the circumstances of why you left any job, either voluntarily of otherwise. It should focus on the jobs you've held, and skill you've acquired. If you are asked in an interview about why you left, by all means tell the truth, but find a way to phrase it that is benign.

Never hide any employment experience. Should you try to hide it or mask it, it could come back and bite you later on. Never state the method of your departure unles specifically asked to do so. Never talk bad about anyone, or any experience. It will never help you, and almost always will take you out of contention for the job. When asked directly, be truthful about being fire (sugar coat it but don't lie). Being fired is not an auto-disqualifier, it will depend on the reason. But keep in mind, your previous employer is barred by law from discussing your departure except to say whether or not you are eligible for rehire and confirm details you provided..........Good luck.

Depends on why you were fired. If it is because the company was downsizing, or because your position was eliminated for other reasons, than go ahead. If it was because you weren't performing your duties properly than definately don't put it on your resume. What good is the job description and duties if the prospective employee feels that kind of job was not one you had the ability to perform?

First off - You should NEVER list how your employment ended on a resume - that is a discussion left for the interview. Second, list the job - it shows that you have nothing to hide, you can always state that it was a matter of integrity and that you choose not to burn your career early on.

On a resume you show when you worked for each company. The date you started to the date you ended employment.
There's no reason to mention why you stopped working for them.
If they ask, just say you had some disagreements, or just that things didn't work out, but I doubt they'll ask.

Its okay in the sense that you are honest. But it has a negative impact that you had been fired and your employer will think you have done wrong thats why you are fired.

6months is a short period of time to be working someplace. Assuming you are applying for a decent job, they will ask you, why do you work there for six months.
