The Six Pillars of Character is Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.
Trustworthiness: Be honest
Examples: Don’t deceive, cheat, or steal • Be reliable — do what you say you’ll do • Have the courage to do the right thing • Build a good reputation • Be loyal, stand by your family, friends, and country
Respect: Treat others with respect
Examples: Be tolerant and accepting of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements
Responsibility Do what you are supposed to do
Examples: Plan ahead • Keep on trying! • Always do your best • Use self-control • Be self-disciplined • Think before you act • Be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes • Set a good example for others
Fairness: Play by the rules
Examples: Take turns and share • Be open-minded; listen to others • Don’t take advantage of others • Don’t blame others carelessly • Treat all people fairly
Caring: Be kind
Examples: Be compassionate and show you care • Show gratitude • Forgive others • Help people in need
Citizenship: Do your share to make your school and community better
Examples: Cooperate • Get involved in community affairs • Stay informed; vote • Be a good neighbor • Obey laws and rules • Respect authority • Protect the environment • Volunteer
Reflection: I think these are good rules to follow because they show many things that apply good things to yourself and the people around you. I also think if many people would follow these rules the world could be a happier place. If parents show there kids from the start these rules they would grow up to be well behaved adults.
