Introduction
Honestly is all about telling other people the truth and integrity is telling truth to one’s own self. The word integrity originated from the Latin word "integer" which means to feel the whole or complete person. It is the quality that allows an individual to do the right things as much as possible. Integrity is the practice of individuals who are honest and show consistency and adherence to their ethical or moral values and principles. It is an individual’s accuracy of his actions which then clashes with his hypocrisy. Integrity points towards how a person lives his/her life. Living in this world means that one has to face all sorts of situations whether they favor people or go against them they have to make choices daily and only one who makes said choice could explain his reasoning behind them. Every individual decides how he/she is going to live their life and the way one lives his/her life defines them.
Discussion
Integrity is doing the right thing and in ethics, it is regarded as the truthfulness and accuracy of one’s approach and actions. A few of the basic characteristics are taking responsibility for the actions without having the fear of being criticized by others. It also teaches society that one must ignore the consequences and must follow his/her values and ethics despite taking a look at the effects that one would be incurring on himself for speaking the truth. One of the simplest things that one could achieve is their pride through which they could win integrity. Integrity could be treated by two different kinds of people, one for whom integrity is everything and the other ones for whom integrity is nothing. Those for whom integrity is everything is considered to be the best in this world. On the other hand, those who take integrity for granted are looked upon as dishonest people.
Integrity is a tool through which one could win the trust of others as when one speaks the truth in all the conditions. So it automatically leads others to trust the person who supports truth in every situation. When people become more conscious of integrity they are respected but they can't have a healthy personal relationship when one loses his/her integrity and trustworthiness. Losing of integrity means losing a critical part of one’s personality as it has been seen that both credibility and truthfulness are based upon integrity.
Though there are numbers of positive elements that could be observed in those who practice and never leave integrity in their daily life. However, a negative thing attached with integrity is that it compels people to stand alone against groups as in today's world not everyone has the courage of standing with the truth. Being a student I never cheat and use unethical means for clearing my examination as it is against my moral values to cheat others just for the sake of marks. In today's world, there are very few people who are not ready to go against their ethics and morality. For example, one of my teachers was offered a bribe in exchange for leaking the exam question paper but he adhered to his values, morals, and integrity.
Conclusion
Taking a look at the above discussion, it could be said that integrity is one of those qualities that earn people trust and respect. Integrity demands not to compromise on the value system that teaches to support truth in all situations no matter how much one would be suffering. So it could be concluded that in today's world if every individual is going to follow what integrity teaches half of the world's issues would be resolved.
