Answer 4

Character is how you think and how you act upon your thoughts. Other people can judge your character by actions, words, and body language.

It is a part of society that is inevitable, and needs to be checked on. People want people with good character, good rowk ethic, and such that can be good in both personal relationships and business relationships.
