People with good character and ethics are people you can trust. Learning these character traits early in life will help later in your decision-making process, and it will give you the basic information on what it takes to develop positive character traits. Trustworthiness is a very important pillar of positive character development. As a 4-H member you have a responsibility to your club, community, country, world, and, most of all, yourself to be a trustworthy person in every area of your life. This quote by Jessie Jackson is a reminder ro us all that we should treat each person as our equal and never act better than anyone else.
Respect is the second pillar in the Six Pillars of Positive Character Development.
We all want a chance to be ourselves, make decisions, be accepted, and be treated in a polite, decent way. Respectful people give others the information they need to make decisions about their lives. Respectful people treat others with consideration. They do what is tasteful and proper in dealing with others. They don't stoop to violence, vulgarity, meanness or rudeness.
