Cultivating
Character
You have just found the most effective
character education in existence!!
Evidence shows
that this program decreases the need for disciplinary action
by 60%!
Used in 92 countries in a variety of settings
from governmental agencies (Canada's Department of
Health) to corporations (Hallmark) and has been shown to
dramatically decrease violence, enhance self-esteem and
increase productivity as well as profitability.
Often
building a Culture of Character is seen as the key to
achieving a peaceful, just society. The debate has focused
on values. What are the important values to teach? How do
people learn about or, more importantly, learn to live
those values? That debate can be contentious as the
importance of specific values vary from individual to
individual and culture to culture.
What is the solution to the problem of
diminishing values?
The debate needs to rise above values which
are individual or cultural. The solution is one step deeper
and lie in virtues. Virtues are universal, innate qualities
of character. They are important to all cultures and
faiths.
