Shared Responsibility
Being responsible means:
Standing up against wrongdoing, resisting negative
peer pressure, and serving as a positive example.
Responsible individuals hold themselves accountable for
their own actions, and work to discourage and prevent
misconduct by others.
Courage
Being courageous means acting in accordance with one’s
convictions.
Like intellectual capacity, courage can only develop in
environments where it is tested.
