his/her beliefs about what is right and what is wrong.
• A person of integrity shows commitment, courage, and self-discipline.
• A person of integrity doesn’t get involved in things that he/she thinks are wrong, even under social pressure.

But, of course, it isn’t that easy…• Integrity requires courage to
do the right thing and to be true to your best self. It's one of the toughest requirements of an ethical life because courage requires us to face down what we fear most.

FEAR• Fear is powerful. When faced with
conflict and paying a price we might not want to pay, it’s easier to compromise our values, go with the flow, and not stand up for someone or something that’s right.
