On my honor
Article Abstract:
People learn honesty and trustworthiness because these behaviors are not something humans are born with, as shown in a study of two-year olds. Almost everyone knows of somebody who has profited from dishonesty. It is surprising that more people are not dishonest. However, living morally gives people a purpose to live and many believe that after death they will be held accountable for their actions. The insurance industry exists simply to improve people's quality of life and therefore its agents should hold themselves to a high moral standard.

Article Abstract:
Certain members of the profession have earned the insurance industry a bad reputation, but many others allow this image to survive by not stopping their colleagues' unethical actions. It takes courage to turn in a co-worker or fellow American Society of CLU and ChFC member, but without such vigilance, the industry will remain tarnished in the eyes of the public, hurting everyone's business.
