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, and 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 102 years.
