Character Counts

“The Six Pillars of Character”

The six pillars of character are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.

 Trustworthiness is the character where someone is able to trust you with anything. An example is if they let you borrow a book and then you have to take care of it because they trust you and if you bring it back with pages ripped out they won’t be able to trust you.

 Respect is a big characteristic because you need to be respectful of other people and their religion/beliefs, of their items, and them in general.

Responsibility is probably the most serious one. You need to be responsible, and it also involves trustworthiness like with the book you are responsible for that book because the person that let you borrow it trusts you.

 Fairness has multiple situations when it is different because you have to come down to an important decision. For example, let’s say you have two cousins Daniel and John who are fighting over some candy now Daniel had already eaten some candy and now wants the rest but with John he didn’t have any candy so then you come to a choice where John gets the candy because it is only   fair.

When you care for someone you need to also be nurturing for what you care for. For example, you care about your parents you can’t be mean to them but then again you care for them you need to also be nice.

If you have citizenship in a country, you have the right to live there, work, vote, and pay taxes and you need to apply yourself to that.
