Blog Post #12

This week I have been thinking a lot about character and what it means to society. When I think of the word character, I think of the quiet heroes that live in our world's limelight. I think of people like Russell Westbrook, who although is one of the NBA's best players in the league, continues to keep a good presence in the media and in his family life.

Often, I find that I have the utmost respect for a spouse who only sings praises about their significant other. Hearing people pour their love and admiration out for their family is something that I feel is a quality everybody needs.

Service workers, and those individuals that devote their careers and lives to improving the community are also the behind-the-scenes heroes that show great character.

I have found in my own life that character is a human trait that cannot be given a dollar price on it's importance in an individuals life. Striving to become someone who is known by the vast majority to have great character and integrity, is a goal worth all of us pursuing.

I believe that if we as a society could focus more on becoming men and women of character, and focus less on becoming men and women of solidified opinion, we would begin to see many of the socialistic trends change for the better part of society.
