Qualities Of Good Men

The Wambana Experience brought out many good qualities in the members of 9TMCMMN. The bike ride and fitness parts of the camp brought out the determination of many members of the class. Even though they struggled, they kept going and didn't give up until the end. Another trait of a good man is cooperation and teamwork. Living in Wardli meant that everyone had to get along with each other and work to each person strengths and weaknesses. They also had to listen to and contribute helpful ideas and constructive criticisms. Another quality of a good man is responsibility. Throughout the camp we were given responsibility for things like out own cooking. The leaders trusted that we would do the right thing and most people did because they learnt to be responsible. Good men should also show integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing all the time and we were encouraged to do so but not everyone manged to get through the whole camp without betraying the trust of the leaders and therefore not showing integrity. luckily they did show another trait of a good man. Honesty. They owned up to what they did and instead of trying to avoid punishment, they sought to fix the problem. Everytime something happened, the leaders gave everyone a chance to be honest and come forward, like when people tore up the bus seats and when some people left their rashies on the beach.
