The Insufficiency of Honesty

1. I expect the author to make points stating how being honest isn’t always the best way to get what you need to do done.
2. The factors that give Stephen Carter credibility are that he is a law professor, writer, and his critique comes from his own experiences as an African American student at Yale University Law School and Stanford University.
3. The three steps of integrity are to decide what you feel is right and wrong, act on what you feel, openly say that you are acting on you ideal of what is right and wrong.
4. An instance in which honesty is not a good quality is when someone says something honestly without thought and what that person says ends up hurting another person.

6. The manager’s error in integrity is that he didn’t think if what he believed was right or wrong.
7. Honesty and responsibility collide when someone makes an honest statement saying that they will not own up to their moral responsibilities.

	1. Carter wanted to tell the reader the difference between integrity and honesty.  The terms are similar in the fact that they both mean to tell the truth. Honesty is different from integrity because the difference between right and wrong is thought about in integrity.
	2. As a reader I do think that telling the definitions would have made Carter’s distinctions clearer because the integrity definition states that it is based on moral principles.  I feel that Carter felt that the words meant much more than their common dictionary meaning.  Carter defines honesty as telling the truth without any thought and integrity as telling the truth but only if the principles are morally right in the eye of the person speaking.
