Integrity as "the quality or state of being of sound moral principle, uprightness, honesty and sincerity." Its synonym is honesty. Integrity is a "firm adherence to a code of especially moral or altruistic values." Integrity is an uncompromising adherence to a code of moral, artistic or other values, utter sincerity, honesty and candor, avoidance of deception, expediency, artificiality or shallowness of any kind. However, along with the subject of truth, there are also issues of honesty, integrity and character – all of which we need in our political and religious leaders, teachers and parents. I believe that an honest man will refuse to lie, steal or deceive in any way. To be honest is to have an upright character – this is something that is extremely lacking in our society today. A man with integrity is someone who has sound convictions and moral values. Last, I look at character Merriam-Webster's dictionary says, "A man with character is someone with moral excellence and firmness.
