Four-Way Speech Contest

The Four Way Test is one of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of ethics, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four Way is still relevant today and transcends generations and national boundaries.  The Four-Way Test has captured the imaginations of generations of Rotarians as a simple checklist to help ensure that we are applying this positive and powerful ethics code to how we try to live our lives and serve others.

1.    Is it the truth?      
2.    Is it fair to all concerned?
3.    Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4.    Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

One student from each of the six Chandler Unified School District six high schools will participate in a speech contest.  In the speech, the student will show the application of the Rotary Four-Way Test in our everyday relationships with other people. The speeches will show clearly the practical application of all four points of the Rotary Four-Way Test to what is going on in today’s world or to a student’s life of today.
