Role Models
When ordinary people display tremendous acts of courage and unselfishness, their behavior stems from the traits embodied in character and ethics.
Each person is a role model for someone. When we take responsibility for the affect our words and actions have on others, we are showing our desire to be a good example.
By deliberately focusing on character and ethics in our behavior, our potential for good morals expands to its fullest. Where this potential is working there are real heroes and great role models.
What Kind of Person Are You?
What are your standards? Are you reaching for something better? Self-improvement and modeling for others starts by knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Character and Ethical conduct will develop from awareness and practice.
Character Fitness
The Character and Ethics program has steps leading to a goal. Step one is the individual's personal promise to be attentive to character and ethics issues. Step two is exercising behavior that manifests good will and concern for others. The goal of Character Fitness is to encourage individuals to make sound ethical choices the basis for all their actions -- choices which are embodied in the Character and Ethics Project Promise and Calendar.
