It is staying with your original values and not letting anything or anyone negatively affect them. An example of something with integrity would be a church. A church is something whole and complete. They maintain their beliefs. One is their belief in the bible. The bible teaches the values and rules that the church accepts and sticks to even though other churches or religions can challenge those beliefs.
