When i refer to integrity, i have something very specific in mind. integrity, as i will use the term, requires three steps: discerning what is right and what is wrong; acting on what you have discerned, even at personal cost; and saying openly that you are acting on your understanding of right and wrong. the first criterion captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness. the second brings in the ideal of a person of integrity as steadfast, a quality that includes keeping one's commitments. the third reminds us that a person of integrity can be trusted.

Explanation:

Brackets are a type of punctuation mark mainly used to add information, in the case of square brackets [] these are commonly used in quotations to add words that were not specifically said by the original author but that clarify the quotation and do not change the words of the original author. This use is reflected in “[Integrity is] a quality that includes keeping one’s commitments" because in the original text the words "integrity is" do not appear in this section but other words in the quotation refer to the definition of integrity by the original author and this makes necessary for the writer quoting add "integrity is" for clarification.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
