　　Honesty——The Beauty In My Eyes Respectable teachers and friends.I am XXX,from XXX.Today my topic is “honesty——the beauty in my eyes”.
　　Walking on campus with flowers blooming,the beauty can be seen everywhere.However,the moral beauty is spreading without being noticed.As we all know,honesty is the universal code of ethics.In my view ,honesty is the beauty on campus.
　　If you are dishonest,it`s i mpossible to gain other people`s trust.Instead,people will respect and think highly of you if you are honest.Being honest will help you live in peace and harmony.Honest is playing a more and more important role in our life.
　　One of my roommates as well as my best
　　friend,isn`t good at finance.He always borrows our money.However,we are willing to help him and never judges him.Because he always pays back the money as soon as he has money on hand.So honesty is essential to establish our relationship in society.
　　On the other hand,there are many behavious around us showing the lack of honesty,such as,cheating in
　　exam,telling lies in order to skip classes and so on.These behaviours reduce college students` moral standard and also damage other people`s trust on the students.The harm is self-evident.
　　In my view,being honest and trustworthy is the basic principle.In modern society,people are
　　increasingly realizing the importance of honesty.As college students who are receiving higher education,we should keep the promise that we are never do things which will destroy the national interests or other people interests.Please always remember:honesty is the best policy.
　　In a world,our campus doesn`t lack beauty,we should find the beauty,create the beauty and develop the beauty.Let`s build a harmonious campus with our honesty.It`s the beauty that never fades and lasts forever!
　　My speech ends here,thanks for lisenting!
　　since the quality of honesty applies to all behaviors, one cannot refuse to consider factual information, for example, in an unbiased manner and still claim that one's knowledge, belief or position is an attempt to be truthful. such a belief is clearly a product of one's desires and simply has nothing to do with the human ability to know. basing one's positions on what one wants — rather than unbiased evidence gathering — is dishonest even when good intentions can be cited — after all even hitler could cite good intentions and intended glory for a select group of people. clearly then, an unbiased approach to the truth is a requirement of honesty.
　　because intentions are closely related to fairness and certainly affect the degree of honesty/dishonesty, there is a wide spread confusion about honesty--and a general belief that being dishonest means that one always correctly understands if their behavior is either honest or dishonest. self-perception of our morality is non-static and volatile. it's often at the moment we refuse to consider other perspectives that there is a clear indication we are not
　　pursuing the truth, rather than simply and exclusively at the moment we can muster up evidence that we are right. socrates had much to say about truth, honesty and morality, and explained that if people
　　really understood that their behavior was wrong — then they simply
　　wouldn't do it — by definition. unfortunately, honesty in the western tradition has been marginalized to specific instances — perhaps because a thorough understanding of honesty collides with ideologies of all types. ideologies and idealism often exaggerate and suppress evidence in order to support their perspectives — at the expense of the truth. this process erodes the practice and
　　understanding of honesty. to an ideologist the truth quite often bees insignificant, what matters most are their ideals and what ever supports their desires to enjoy and spread those ideals.
　　human beings are inherently biased about what they believe to be good due to individual tastes & backgrounds, but once one understands that a decidedly biased approach to what is true — is inherently dishonest, one can also understand how idealism and ideology have poorly served the quest for an honest, moral society. both honesty and morality require that we base our opinions about what is good — upon unbiased ideas of what is true — rather than vice versa
　　(determining what is true based on what we feel is good) — the way all ideologies would have us believe.
