weekly reflection

A topic that we discussed in class was integrity. Integrity can mean a lot to everyone. To me integrity is the morals, values, beliefs and ethics(credibility) of a person. Integrity is honesty, respect, and commitment to your self. It is who your character is. The consistency of beliefs on what you think is right or wrong. C.S Lewis said, “Integrity is doing the right thing. Even when no one is watching.” I’d like to think that I always do the right thing, however I don’t think that’s true for anyone. We have all came to a situation or conflict in our life when we should have done more to help, but didn’t. However, the little things we do in everyday life count too. Whether it is helping someone with a struggle or fallingĀ  and picking them up or saying something when you see something wrong happening. Integrity is staying honest on a test, and not allowing others to cheat from you. Integrity is important at home, school and the workplace. Integrity is important at home because I think without integrity at home there is no structure. We all have our own ways of doing things or a way our families do things and we all know how important those values can be. Two character traits important in my family values are honesty and respect and with out them things wouldn’t flow as smoothly. Integrity is important in school because of fairness. It wouldn’t be right if someone who didn’t put as much work and effort as you got a higher grade. Lastly, integrity is important in the workplace because without it you wouldn’t be able to maintain a job. No one wants someone who is untrustworthy or unreliable to be or run in their business. All in all, integrity plays a major role in our lives and society because without it the world would be in chaos and things wouldn’t have the right flow.
