Integrity is what you do when no one is watching.
In this lesson you will:
- Define honesty, integrity and discipline.
- Explain why integrity matters in public office.
- Apply integrity to a school situation.
The Three Values
- Honesty — telling the truth and not deceiving others.
- Integrity — holding to good values consistently, even under pressure.
- Discipline — controlling your actions and following through on commitments.
Why It Matters
Trust is the foundation of cooperation. A leader without integrity wastes public money; a student without honesty gains marks they did not earn.
Practice
Return excess change. Cite sources in your assignments. Admit mistakes early instead of covering them with lies.
A small choice
A shopkeeper gives you too much change.
Honesty means returning the extra money, even though no one would know.
Tip Integrity grows through small decisions. You are practising it every time you choose the truth.
Practice
- Define integrity in your own words.
- Give an example of honesty you have seen or shown.
- Explain why discipline matters for a student.
Recap
Honesty, integrity and discipline build trust and are practised in small, everyday choices.
