Raising children to become
decent and responsible adults is a
complex and challenging job that
is becoming increasingly difficult
in our society. To be a person of
good character, youth must
develop strengths of the 4 "H's":
head - they must know what is
good; heart - they must desire to
do the good; hands - they must
be willing to do good; and health
- they must develop a lifestyle
that supports the desire and
willingness to do good.
The Morrow County 4-H
program strives to develop good
character in 4-H members.
Qualities that define good
character have been debated by
various groups but in 1992, the
Josephson Institute of Ethics
with the help of scholars, parents,
youth workers and others
published the Aspen Declaration.
This ceclaration has become the
cornerstone for the character
development education programs
in the United States. The Aspen
Declaration states:
-The next generation will be the
stewards of the world.
-The well being of society needs
citizens with good character.
-People do not automatically
develop good moral character.
Children must be taught so that
they develop the values and
abilities necessary for moral
decision making and conduct.
-Character education is based
on core ethical values - pillars of
character
development
trustworthiness, respect for
others, responsibility, fairness,
caring and citizenship.
-These core values transcend
cultural, religious am. socio
economic differences.
-Although character education
is first and foremost an
obligation of faith, communities,
the community in general,
schools, and youth and family
serving organizations are also
responsible.
-Youth have a better chance of
learning moral values if all
groups work together to teach
and reinforce moral values.
-Every adult must take
responsibility to model and teach
the
pillars
of
character
development.
You can see, that although this
declaration was only developed
in 1992, 4-H, as the youth
program of the land-grant
universities
(Oregon
State
University) has been using
similar guidelines for the past 75
years.
