  12. Do’s and Don’ts of Integrity Activity • With a partner, write list of do’s and don’ts for being a person of integrity. You should have AT LEAST 5 “do’s” and 5 “don’ts”. Be prepared to share! • Answer questions: • What happens when people live in accordance with these guidelines? • What happens when they don’t? • In what ways can/do young people demonstrate integrity?

  13. Your character is defined by what you do, not what you say or believe. • Every choice you make helps define the kind of person you are choosing to be. • Good character requires doing the right thing, even when it is costly or risky. • You don't have to take the worst behavior of others as a standard for yourself. You can choose to be better than that. • What you do matters, and one person can make a big difference. • The payoff for a good character is that it makes you a better person and it makes the world a better place.

  14. “Some believe the greatest threat to our national security and future comes from no external enemy but from the enemy within – in our loss of strong moral and community values and support.”Marian Wright Edelman
