Summary and Response to “The Rules About the Rules” by Stephen Carter
Honesty comes from within. Many people throughout the world lack integrity. Even I have battled the evils of lying when I told my professor I was sick when I was not. For someone to have integrity, Carter suggests that people must go through these stages to achieve integrity: they must discern right from wrong, informed action, and verbalize one’s intent. First, to be a person with integrity, you must discern right from wrong. Carter emphasizes that integrity takes time and emotional energy.

They seemed very excited to hear the word integrity. That’s how desperate they were for the topic. As Carter talked about integrity, he gave examples about how the Supreme Court uses the Constitution’s structural integrity. Also, he mentioned ages, languages, religion traditions, and schools for our children. The author asserts that schools should focus on teaching students, right from wrong and the meaning of being a good person.

When we talk about integrity, it seems to me that America has more integrity than Uganda, for instance, in my hometown, they lack integrity. you will TALK MORE AOBUT YOUR HOMETOWN We need great leaders, great government that will follow the rules and became a great role model for our younger generations, but that doesn’t seem to be working right now.

Carter emphasized that we will play by the rules and stay committed to our nation. With integrity in our lives, we must decide right from wrong, act on what we say will do, and express our
