MORAL COURAGE

- Moral courage is the willingness to stand up for what is right or just, even in the face of opposition, discomfort,
or potential harm. It involves acting in accordance with one's moral or ethical principles, even when doing so
may be difficult or unpopular.

CHERRIE
- Our idea of courage in modern culture essentially distinguishes between two types: moral courage and physical
courage. Physical harm or death and "loss of moral integrity or authenticity or social criticism," respectively, can
be proven to correspond to two different kinds of fear that are encountered. Physical courage is most similar to
the initial context of courageous acts performed in battle, although it has evolved in modern times to
encompass everyday activities as well as actions performed in battle. When a physical act is completed, athletes,
firefighters, police officers, and soldiers are frequently praised for their physical courage. On the other hand,
people who take moral stands are thought to have moral courage.

CHERRIE
IMPORTANCE

- Moral courage is important because it allows individuals to act in accordance with their values and principles,
even in the face of adversity. It enables individuals to speak up for themselves and others, and to resist unethical
or unjust practices. Without moral courage, individuals may be more likely to go along with the crowd or remain
silent in the face of wrongdoing, which can perpetuate harmful or unjust practices.

Examples of Moral Courage

- Standing up to injustice: When someone speaks up against an injustice, even if it means putting their own safety
and well-being at risk, it shows moral courage. For example, Emmeline Goulden joined the fight for women's
suffrage. The movement aimed to give women a voice in society, better working conditions, and the ability to
cast ballots in elections.
- Resisting peer pressure: When someone goes against the group consensus to do what they know is right, it
shows moral courage. For example, a teenager who refuses to participate in cyber bullying with their friends.
- Reporting wrongdoing: When someone reports misconduct, even if it means going against powerful individuals
or institutions, it shows moral courage. For example, a whistleblower who exposes corruption or unethical
practices in their workplace.

obstacles or challenges.

Will Power

- It bestows the ability to overcome laziness, temptations, and bad habits and to carry out actions, even if they
require efforts, are unpleasant and tedious, or are contrary to one's habits. It is defined as the "inner strength to
make a decision, take action, and handle, and execute any aim or task until it is accomplished, regardless of
inner and outer resistance, discomfort, or difficulties."
- Willpower and self-control are important not just for major accomplishments and overall success, but also for
daily decisions such as studying, attending classes or work, reducing weight, eating healthily, exercising, growing
