abstract="As we rush around attending to the essentials of our lives (family, friends, clients, employers), what is left? Nursing Forum invites readers to engage in thoughts and activities that may awaken an untouched place. We hope these writings will kindle your personal involvement in something that was previously avoided--because of bias, fear, or uneasiness--in order to stretch your mind and spirit. The purpose of this paper is to explore the act of speaking up as a moral obligation and its relationship to moral courage and habit. The difficulties of speaking up and the consequences of silence are examined. The benefits of speaking up are raising self-respect, gaining courage, forming good habits and passing on that legacy.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
