　　it is true that most of us value honesty highly. however, nowadays we often confront  confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on. i think that we  should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others  and the whole society. the reasons can be listed as follows.firstly, only honest people can  be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time.

　　secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the chinese people, can make our life  easier and more harmonious. thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. a case in  point is that singapore, a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity, has a  comparatively low criminal rate.

　　responsbility can be understood in many ways. for the parents , they have had the  responsibility for caring for and fostering their children since the birth of their baby.for  teachers,both in kindergartens and colleges,they also should be responsible for the study and  life of their students,that is to say,teahers are the second parents of children somewhile.

　　for us,as a friend of others,it is our responsibility to help our friends when they are in  trouble or faced with difficulties. each one has the different responsibily based on their  roles but we must take it for granted that we are responsible for the society.
