Integrity and Episode Water Parks
Sam Pugh
Professor Clark
TV and the American Family
29 June 2014 “Malcolm in the Middle”

Integrity is and will always be a how a person is remembered. In my opinion, integrity is the single most important personal or character trait anyone can have. Being able to do the right thing or having the willingness to do the right things when no one is looking is a big part of this. Having integrity involves having accountability, responsibility, and honesty in each and every situation that you are faced with. Being in the United States Air Force, I am very familiar with the word Integrity. The meaning of integrity has been engraved in my mind and heart for 14 years, ever since basic military training in San Antonio, Texas on June 14 2000. Integrity boils down to having honesty, accountability, and responsibility. Having honesty in every situation ensures what you do and say matches. Exhibiting the trait of accountability ensures other around you steal, cheat, or lie. Being responsible enables other around you to trust and believe that you have their very interest at heart, and that you will not be selfish to not only take care of yourself but others as well.
In the show of Malcolm in the Middle, episode “Water Parks” show examples of integrity, I didn’t agree with. The first of which happened when Hal and Lois decided to get a babysitter for Dewey. As the parents called each and every babysitter they could find, it seemed as if the parents didn’t do any homework or research to check the credentials for each person. As a parent I believe that you are having a responsibility to look out and protect every person in your family. Hal and Lois fell way short in their parental duties.

    Value and Integrity

    • 6 Pages

    Merriam-Webster dictionary defines integrity as, firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values: incorruptibility; the quality or state of being complete or undivided. Although this is correct this isn’t exactly the complete meaning of this word. For every situation, every job, and every position this word “integrity” is defined differently. The position at which I am applying for is an Administrative Assistant, with this comes great responsibility, handling and having access to sensitive information any candidate must possess some level of morals and values. In my previous positions as a bank teller I’ve come in contact with highly valuable information from social security numbers to endless financial details not to mention large amounts of money. And I can attest to the fact that none of that irreplaceable information was ever mishandled or compromised, not just because it was my job or duty but out of respect not only for myself but for those that would be affected. If there isn’t one thing I’ve learned so far in life, I’ve learned that every decision made has a monopoly affect whether the outcome is good or bad. Integrity is having the ability to be selfless, being confident in yourself that you can make decisions that will not only affect you but staff, the company brand and customers.…

    I will answers questions related to the “Water Park” episode of Malcolm in the Middle. After watching this episode, I was appalled with the parent’s behavior. In my opinion, the definition of integrity is an important trait that everyone has; it’s having the ability to know and do the right thing(s) when no one is looking; as well as being trustworthy and dependable. For example, the integrity of law enforcement officers has been questioned by the public more now than it ever has in the past. Citizens are questioning their integrity because of countless numbers of innocent citizens being shot and killed by police. The police are supposed to protect and serve the citizens but lately they are killing the precise people they were expected…

    Army Values-Integrity

    • 498 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Integrity is one of the most talked about and most abused of the Seven Army Values. First we must define integrity it is doing the right thing consistently. That means that we must do the legally and morally correct thing every time. Just because something is hard or unpleasant does not mean that we can look the other way. Doing the right thing is not a matter of deciding do I help my fellow soldier and let him slide on an Army regulation or do I uphold the regulation. It means doing both they are both equally important. Sometimes helping a soldier means that you must enforce the regulations and in some cases that can mean discharging them from the Army at other times it means fighting for the soldier and getting them the help that they need to succeed in the Army.…

    I believe in integrity. Everyday you show people who you are, what you value, and what you represent. If you see something happening that you know is wrong, will you say something, or will you keep quiet? As a child, I was kind of a goody two shoes and would speak up if I saw something wasn’t right. At recess, if somebody went up the slide instead of down, or if somebody cut in the lunch line, I was that person that would say something about it. But now, being older, it’s harder to speak up for what you believe in.…
