Life would be so pleasant if everyone followed ethical principles. We could avoid war and all man-made catastrophes. Retaliation, the old “eye for an eye ” idea, however, is far too appealing when we have been hurt. To refrain from cheating on an exam and get a lower grade than someone who did cheat can seem unfair. To do more than others yet still get the same pay or grade can make us angry and resentful. To have integrity is to do the right thing----follow all the ethical rules----no matter what anyone else is doing. To have integrity is to honestly appraise our own feelings and motivations, and then follow the rules regardless of any outside pressure.
