<p>So the same NHS at my high school that rejected me as their vice-president wants me to write and deliver a speech about character for our induction on Friday, and practices are tommorow…I looked up character on m-w.com, and nothing useful came up. What does character mean to you guys? I can write speech easy, but I need to know where to start!!!</p>
<p>just pick some good qualities a person should have and talk about them.</p>
<p>You should refuse to deliver the speech on the grounds that they rejected your nomination to vice-presidency, and that there are at least two people (the VP and the P of NHS) who could clearly do the job better than you can.</p>
<p>Character is the very principles (we’ll go w/ the definition that states “an idea that govern other ideas”) upon which a person is founded upon. Character defines everything about the person, from their ulterior motives to their public demeanor.</p>
<p>use examples… remember be unique</p>
<p>Character is the core, unique, self-chosen, integral moral identity of an individual.</p>
<p>Core - who we really are, what we are becoming (consists of observable behavior, attributes - vices and virtues, and the mystery behind our actions)
Unique - our “moral fingerprint,” our talents, skills, and experiences
Self-chosen - our choices, the response to God, neighbors, and others
Integral - consistency, the “coherent me”</p>
<p>Character is intimately linked with actions.</p>
<p>AeroEngineer’s first paragraph made absolutely no sense.</p>
