Examples Of Integrity In Remember The Titans

Football was and is a very popular sport in America and has always been a favorite. Erik Fisher plays football because he is great at the sport, hence page 27, “Dad had brought Erik to meet Coach Warner earlier in the summer. Dad had knelt down and held the ball for Erik to drill fifty-yard field goals, one after another, while according to Dad, the Coach’s jaw had dropped lower and lower.” But, Erik played football primarily for and because of the fame. He had never cared about whether he had to hurt someone in order reach the top of the “Erik Fisher Football Dream”. On September 5 (pages 50-94), when Mike Costello dies of lightning, Paul finds Erik and Arthur laughing about how Mike’s hair was singed off. Paul was disgusted. Though Erik and Arthur didn’t kill Mike, their laughter reflects their inner evil and selfish selves. Paul then reflects on his own self and decides to walk a path of truth, unlike Erik. In continuation, Ray Lewis had once said, “Don't walk through life just playing football. Don't walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone's life, that's the ultimate vision, that's the ultimate goal-bottom line.” Erik never had any character or integrity, whether he played sports or not. On the other hand, Paul did have character and integrity. Paul noticed Erik’s evil actions to get higher and higher up the Erik Fisher Football

Integrity is the quality of having good moral principles and being strongly grounded in them. Campbell compromises his integrity several times in the novel. An example of this is the fact that “[his] wife never knew [he] was a spy”(41) for the Americans. He told and allowed Helga to believe lies about the Nazis in Germany while he was actually on the side of the Americans.

Integrity is being fair and not taking sides when someone asks for my opinion. Having the ability to truly be honest and say what is right instead of trying to placate the truth. Integrity is affording, anyone the opportunity to correct their issues, instead of continually endeavoring to find fault in them. Integrity is after returning home from a six month deployment saying NO I won’t go on leave during the time that the command is scheduled to go to Vulcanex. The integrity to go and support my command and fellow sailors so that they are not overly stressed and over worked for an exercise, that I may have the option not to

For a lot of kids, it’s not until it’s all said and done, and they look back on it several years later, that they realize the difference the sport made in their lives. They are proud of playing the game. Have you ever met anybody who accomplished playing four years of high school football, and at the end of that run said, ‘Man, I wish I wouldn’t have played’? It doesn’t get said. Football players aren’t perfect. Nobody is. But millions of former players, one by one, can recount the life-altering principles they learned from football. They know the value of football is the values in football.That’s why high school football – and particularly high school coaches – play such a vital role in our society. Our football coaches are on the front lines of the battle for the hearts and minds of the boys in our society.

I feel the game is more of a mental sport. A players must be extremely smart at all times on the field. We play the game like a bunch of wolves but at the same time we are extremely educated on the field. I had many things that I valued while playing football with my team. A few things I really valued were the friendship with all my brothers, valued the team, the atmosphere during the game, and the game itself. This was important to everyone because we all felt the same way. Since we all had a lot of the same values it brought us closer as teammates. Because of this it made our team strong and there wasn’t anyone who could break us down. We were a family and a brotherhood and we all knew that. Even though sometimes during practice there would be scuffles and fights we always had each other’s backs no matter what the situation was. We all had great pride in the team we were the eagles and we would always be an eagle.

“ Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don't walk through life just being a athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life.”

Integrity is having a standard of morals and ethics, and living by them. It is a willingness and ability to do the right thing even when it is hard. The story To Kill a Mockingbird is filled with integrity. For example, many of the people in Maycomb share a prejudiced sense of integrity when it comes to its racist views. However, it is Atticus Finch’s integrity throughout the novel that really embodies the idea of moral and ethical principles. He puts into action every moral idea that he supports. Atticus is a role model to not only his children, but to the whole town of Maycomb, and his integrity is a great part of what makes him such a good example. Integrity

Integrity is to stand true to yourself, your morals, and not compromise it because some officials hundreds of years ago imposed standards about what is right and wrong. Its not about the fame but for your own personal satisfaction and humanity that despite all odds you see the truth in the nonsense of discrimination and hatred for ways that are so called “not right”. Jane Eyre and Caitlyn Jenner embody integrity for they didn't go along with “normality”. In the 18 century most women desired love and wealth but Jane Eyre didn’t care about fitting in society it just so happens that she falls for a man like that. Bruce Jenner was once viewed as the best athlete in the world. Recently Jenner revealed that he was transgender. For the first time

If you have integrity, it means you can be trusted and be honest. “‘You got anything to tell me about their defense?’ ‘Yeah. They play it well.’” (140). This shows that Brett demonstrates integrity because he could have told Ben how his old team played. Brett had transferred to a new school because his football team, the Saxons, had bullied him. The Tigers would have an advantage over the Saxons because Brett told them their tactics. However, Brett knows it’s not right to tell his teammates and cheat. In short, Brett shows integrity, no matter what the circumstances

Sports are a significant part of society and spectators enjoy particular events regardless of the type. However, there are many players who develop special working and social relationships with whom they are participating regardless of the type of sport. The relationship and how people interact with one another can be the determination of how successful a team can be. The particular film based on a true story that I chose is titled When the Game Stands Tall. This film consists of a high performing football team of De La Salle High School in the state of California. Jim Caviezel portrays the head coach (Bob Ladouceur) as a man with such vision and passion that goes beyond the fundamental principles of coaching the game of football. The football team had won 151 games without being defeated which is the highest winning record a team has had in the game of football. The film shows the internal struggles of the players in their lives as people, and how they perform on the field. It also shows the external tragic difficulties that they face while they attend and play for De Le Salle High School. In the movie, the head coach helps the students/players by not only coaching them but also showing them how to live a flourishing life by committing to endure difficult life situations and the way to overcome them. He helps teach the principles of brotherhood and companionship with the team that they build. In the movie, the head coach and the staff had taught the players

Miep Gies, a woman who helped people during the Holocaust, showed her integrity when she did not hesitate to help the Anne Frank family. She was not Jewish and she could have been killed for advocating for the Frank family but she helped them anyways. My hero will have integrity because he will know that his inner ethics must match up with his actions, this dependability he displays is a very admirable trait. Chesley Sullenberger a commercial pilot showed his confidence when he disregarded the Airline Safety instructions and stuck with his instinct of landing the plane on the Hudson River. My hero has confidence because he knows that to be a hero he must trust his instincts thinking about what will create the safest outcome. Ernest Shackleton

Integrity (def’n: a person with integrity is prepared to stand up for what he or she believes in). In your opinion, do the police officers featured in the film display integrity? Why or why not? Does Pat McGinness display integrity in the film? If so, how? (In each case, provide specific examples from the film)

A person with integrity is humble – He is more concerned about what is right than about being right. He recognizes principle and puts it ahead of self.

Other features of an individual having good character are honesty, integrity and ethical behavior. These characteristics are brought about through being a participant of a sport because when an athlete recognizes they are in the wrong during game play, they develop the importance of honesty. (i.e. In baseball/softball: a

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines integrity as “the quality of being honest and fair” (Merriam-Webster, 2016), so what does it mean to have integrity in athletics? My response to this question before and after doing my research on the topic turned out to be the same because I believe sports are one of the true level playing fields that are offered in life. I say this because the world of sports and athletics doesn’t care where you come from, how much money you have or who your parents are. All of these factors contribute to your makeup as an individual and may influence how well equipped you are to play a game meaning, your environment could supply you with the tools and gear to be successful but at the end of the day it all comes down to athletes ability to play the game and also how hard he works to become better his or her craft. many of us have stressors that weigh us down so much in the real world and influence what we are able to do like social-economic problems and personal issues in relationships or work. These factors can dictate so many things for a player: their attitude, temperament towards others, how hard they play the game, how they believe others view them, etc. But for some reason once you step on a field to compete against another person or team its almost euphoric how all your worries go away and it becomes just a simple contest between two people or two groups of people
