Stephanie Maxfield Professor T. Cortina English 1A 1 October 2014 Integrity: Politics, Faith, and Jimmy Carter. We often find ourselves in situations which prompt certain questions; questions we often try to carefully navigate around (or avoid all together). It is here where we note that a difference exists between those individuals who hold fast to their personal beliefs during multifarious situations, and those who do not. Inarguably, Life provides us with plenty of opportunities to decisively exercise and demonstrate virtuous qualities: specifically integrity. Integrity requires us to remain honest and decisively act upon moral and ethically sound reasoning.

Hilary Hinton “Zig” Ziglar, a famous American author and motivational speaker once stated that, “With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt.” Integrity and morals are learned and practiced by countless communities around the globe.

The first unit in EDC131 has been an informative introduction to the question; what is language?
