Dictionary Definition of Character
One dictionary defines character, in the sense we are considering here, as "the complex of mental and ethical traits marking a person." In another dictionary, character is said to be "the stable and distinctive qualities built into an individual's life which determine his or her response regardless of circumstances."
Our Character Is Who We Are
Abraham Lincoln said, "Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree." Our character is not just what we try to display for others to see, it is who we are even when no one is watching. Good character is doing the right thing because it is right to do what is right.

Character transcends race, religion, education, position, age, gender, and personality.
the pillars of character are:

Movie About Respect
for me a good movie about the pillars would be the longest yard because the prisioners all get togather to defeat a common enemy, the guards. they all become friends, the color ones with the white ones and they all respect each other.
