" To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage."-Confucius

The statement allows us to envision an example of an individual who lacks courage and moral integrity. If you were to participate in a proper activity and you were aware the activity was correct you are exhibiting moral integrity and self initiative. If you were to participate in an improper activity and you were aware that the activity was improper you would lack moral integrity and self initiative, because many individuals who participate within unjust activities are usually individuals who lack self initiative. If you were to be aware of a correct activity and not participate with in the activity, you lack the courage needed to stimulate your self initiative and moral integrity. Suppose there is a child who does not assist an individual his group of friends despise, the child is aware of the other individuals need, but he decides to follow his acquaintances and leave the other child helpless, so therefore this child lacks the courage needed to stimulate his self initiative.

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing up for what is right is a true test of moral character."-Margaret Chase Smith

This quote conveys the never ending threat of peer pressure upon the general population. those who allow themselves to succumb to the grasp of improper actions are individuals in need of acceptance, suppose a child is asked by his friends to throw a rock at a stranger, the child proceeds to refuse, the other individuals offer to form a friendship with him if he were to throw the rock, the child contemplates the choices and decides that he would rather be accepted by this group of individuals, so he proceeds to throw the rock. The need for acceptance is one of the stimulants that provokes an individual to commit an action once he or she is pressured by a group of individuals.
