http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/znjy/1674251.html 我觉得帮助子女理解亚裔为什么缺integrity和courage，对他们形成culture identity很重要 完全同意你说的两点。但我觉得传统文化也是个相当大的原因。 有些亚裔子女会看不起亚裔移民的这种行为，让他们觉得无法为自己族裔感到骄傲。但是如果能够帮助他们理解这种现象背后的原因，他们会更容易接受自己，从而得到inner peace. http://ww.xys.org/forum/db/6/193/192.html#postfp 一个美国人如何理解integrity 今天我让我们这里的一个美国人的scientist看了方先生提到的科学杂志上的英文信全文，并问他文中的integrity是以下两种意思（来自dictionary.com）的哪一个： “adherence to moral and ethical principles; honesty”； “the state of being whole, entire” 他说应该是前者。 我不能据此说是方先生错了。只是想说一些人理解的和方先生理解的不一样，似乎情有可原。 http://bbs.taisha.org/viewthread.php?tid=1701376 怎么去理解"integrity”，顺带对学习英语的一点小议。 对学习英语的小议：多用维基百科或者 美国 传统英英词典或者据说非常强大的微软百科全书或者google一下。 ; S+ g+ {8 L: q, { 最近写了篇作文： Government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts.

In western ethics, integrity is regarded as the quality of having an intuitive sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard to the motivations for one's actions. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy , in that it regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs. + D% Z Y( a) L O# Q The word "integrity" stems from the Latin adjective integer (whole, complete). In this context, integrity is the inner sense of "wholeness" deriving from qualities such as honesty and consistency of character . As such, one may judge that others "have integrity" to the extent that one judges whether they behave according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold. 3 R!
