Authenticity
Just to share with you some of the thoughts that i have on the subject above.
This is a series of subjects about self-leadership, i.e. to lead themselves. A flat mirror gives you the look of who and what you are. But to help ourselves "feel" better, we dress up and act confidently in front of the mirror. This in turn is a recipe for disaster when the reality gradually sets in.
Fakegoods manufactured in China. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8KnnKKdrb8 Integrity/Authenticity is to be what you are, i.e. be real or dont fake yourself. Quite often people try to be someone they are not, in situation such as job interview! Most likely than not many would just say responded positively for any questions that are posed, yet not able to react the same when the job is given. This could help people to relate to the concept of authenticity.
That is because people have forgotten about what is inside, not outside that counts. Dont judge a book by its cover. Dressing up like a ultraman doesnt make us an ultraman! Having a big muscle or beautiful face doesnt help us to get through the life without worries and problems!
One vocation stands out in terms of speculation around integrity/authenticity subject is pastors. Quite often people project a perfect human being on pastors, yet the reality is that pastors themselves who are made of flesh just like anyone else is subjected to all kinds of roller-coaster in life. Be it financial, family, relationship, marriage and etc.
I can think of one game for now, which is replay a video record of guests on the spot! This could help them to know their own expression when they look back at the video! And they are pretend to be a superhero! Or celebrity!
Few videos i found on youtube which maybe useful,

    In the opening verses of “Mirror,” the narrator commences its narration by declaring itself neutral. It announces it has “no preconceptions” and without bias or emotions it will metaphorically “swallow immediately” what it needs as it is “unmisted by love or dislike”. It is the truth which causes much grief to a woman who visits it each day. Unlike Plath’s poem, Harwood’s omniscient narrator describes a woman who’s “clothes are out of date” to further enhance the…

    Integrity is a character trait. It is the willingness to do what is right even when no one is looking. It is the "moral compass" the inner voice. . A person of integrity possesses moral courage and does what is right even if the personal cost is high. The drama; A Few Good Men and the poem; O Captain My Captain by Walt Whitman are two different genres with the same theme of integrity and loyalty. Loyalty is primarily a function of trust, and that trust is usually given if integrity is perceived in the object of one's trust. Although they have the same theme the themes use or way in which the theme portrayed in each artistic work is different. The diverse definitions of the themes loyalty and integrity are put into play in order to fit the different roles they presume in both artistic works.…

    This chosen group of poems gives examples of contrast between appearance and reality. We learn that appearances can greatly deviate from what is hidden on the inside. Through the use of irony, we also learn the virtues of authenticity. Appearance versus reality is exhibited in “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson through the use of visually stimulating words to evoke various feelings in us. In E E Cummings’s “Buffalo Bill’s, the speaker admires Buffalo Bill's shooting skills and good looks. He also admires his “watersmoothsilver” horse. Admiration is preceded, however, by irony and followed by sarcasm depending on our interpretation. The dark humor of R.S. Gwynn’s "Scenes from the Playroom" tells the story of a day in the life of an affluent family. But are we getting the whole story? Or just a “scene” as the title suggests. Last but not least, “I’m nobody! Who are you?” by Emily Dickinson, simplicity and authenticity are shown through her use of tone in that is playful and comical. We no longer have to hide our authentic self away. Emily wants us to come out and play. Come be a nobody, even if you are a somebody in the world. Only a frog worries about life in the bog.…

    Ethics, Morality, and Integrity all have some of the same elements that defines a person character. Being trustworthy leads to other elements of integrity. Such as, helping to better the community and respecting authority as a Parole Officer shows honesty. Being fair is another element which shows integrity. How can you be a Parole Officer, but doesn`t treat everyone equally? Third, being able to take responsibility for your own actions and personal growth as a Parole Officer shows integrity, as well.

    accountability

    This essay will explain what meanings of integrity and accountability and also what those mean to me. The definition of integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. Integrity is the number one quality of leadership. Integrity in leadership is expressed in terms of constancy and consistency. It is manifested in an absolute devotion to keeping one’s word. The glue that holds all relationships together,including the relationship between the leader and the led,is trust, and trust is based on integrity. Integrity is so important that functioning in our society would be impossible without it. We could not make even a simple purchase without a high level of confidence that the price was honest and that the change was correct. The most successful individuals and companies in America are those with reputations of high integrity among everyone they deal with. This has a big impact in the military especially in my line of work. It means that my supervisor can put trust in me when he sends me out on the jet, to do a job, and the supervisor knows that it will get done the right way. It also means that when I get farther into my career I can one day become a responsible supervisor for the up coming marines that come from school. When I think about integrity it reminds me that it has consequences if you don't follow what you believe in or you let the people that believe in you down. “Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” said by Oprah Winfrey says that you should always do what is right when no one is around to inspect your work. “I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence” this quote is by Frederick Douglass. It states that you should always be true to yourself and do what you think is right so that you don't soil your name or make…
