Moral & Ethical Principles

​Morals: Principles or habits with respect to right or wrong conduct. While morals also prescribe dos and don'ts, morality is ultimately a personal compass of right and wrong. Morals are individual and internal. We all have a moral code of what we think is right and wrong. 

Ethics: The rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group or culture. It is part of our society - what the society, generally, believes is good and wrong, and how we should act within society in order to benefit society and do the right thing.

Basically, you follow your morals because you believe in something being right or wrong. You follow ethics because society tells you something is right or wrong. ​

Integrity & Kindness

Kindness and integrity are just about the most fundamental, important morals there are. A person who has integrity is going to do the right thing in most situations, if not all situations, because they have the self-confidence to stand up for themselves and others. A person who is kind is going to treat other people well. That is why kindness is a is so important. We will not always agree with each other. We will not be perfect every day. We will have bad days. But as long as we are trying to be kind to each other, we can get through our bad days, grow, and have better ones.

It is more important to respect yourself than to give someone the power to make you act violently or dramatically.
