Not to enough people. Twitney Spheres still gets to make news with all her PR stunts, and she has never had any discernible musical talent, but she still had a "career" for some reason.
Success in the entertainment industry is all about hype now, and that attitude has spread into other industries. It's very, very sad.

It does to me! Everyday I try to live my life with integrity. And even though it seems like a lost cause, I do know some really nice people who still possess integrity. So we are not alone. And besides, people without integrity will end up as losers in the end.

To certain people, I'm sure it does. However, in this media-infused nightmare we live in...especially in the United States, it just doesn't have a firm grip.
Integrity goes hand in hand with concepts like honor and respect. The practice of these concepts may only happen on small scale and often (from my experience), these practices are corrupt. It's like "honor among thieves"...how can there be honor among thieves when there is so much dishonor among those in leading or role-model positions?
So...I don't know how many people believe in and practice integrity, but I know that there is at least one person that does believe in it and practices it to the best of her ability.
Good luck with your question.

People have lost their integrity but the word still means something.

We are a dying breed. But I won't go down w/o a fight. Integrity is part of a persons being. I wouldn't want to meet anyone w/o it.

What IS integrity? To me is a word to justify unwillingness to compromise with others.

Morals values are in such decline, to where a person assumes an individual is a prevaricator until proven otherwise. Honesty,Pride and Honor haven't disappeared, they are questioned more often.

It doesn't appear so. Perhaps more people have integrity than it looks like because we tend to remember those who act as if they are without it than those who, like ourselves naturally, act with it in mind.

You have to ask?
the answer is definitely no in most cases, sorry. those with integrity soon give it up coz it cripples their social lives and job prospects.
