	I speak about honor because the dictionary lists the term ''honor ''as the chief synonym for the word ''integrity''. My concern in this article is to ask: “What is the meaning of integrity?” If we use the pedestrian definitions given to us by lexicographers, such as we find in Webster’s dictionary, we read several entries. In the first instance, integrity is defined as “uncompromising adherence to moral and ethical principles.” Second, integrity means “soundness of character.” Third, integrity means “honesty.” Fourth, integrity refers to being “whole or entire.” Fifth and finally, integrity means to be “unimpaired in one’s character.”		I speak about honor because the dictionary lists the term ''honor ''as the chief synonym for the word ''integrity''.
