The Meaning of Character

Character, in terms of its substance, is the product of the internalization of moral values and moral norms in the individual. In terms of its function for the individual, just as intelligence is the internal regulating mechanism of an individual's intellectual behavior, character is the internal regulating mechanism of an individual's social behavior.

Morality is an important element in the development of advanced culture and the formation of human civilization, especially spiritual civilization. The morality we usually talk about refers to the principles and standards that people's behavior should follow. The definition of morality can be summarized as: being kind to those around you and contributing to society.

Morality is a code of conduct that regulates the relationship between people and between individuals and society, based on the standard of good and evil. Morality always promotes good and suppresses evil. Morality is different from law in that it judges a person's quality based on social opinion, traditional culture and living habits, and relies mainly on people's conscious inner concepts to maintain it.
