The purpose of Rotary is to encourage and foster the idea of service as the basis for meaningful undertakings.
Specifically, the aim is to encourage:
1. Make Service Opportunities by Expanding Acquaintances
High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
Section 3 Each Rotarian lives the ideal of service in his personal, business and social life.
4.Promotion of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a global network of professionals united by the philosophy of service.
(RI Constitution Article 3; Standard Rotary Club Constitution Article 5)
Rotary regards the "ideal of service" as "caring for others," "helping each other," and "caring for others." We are striving to develop and practice the four items above.
In addition, there are four questions that Rotarians should always remember in life and work, which are the "Four Tests."An ethical guide for all people, regardless of politics or religion, the test has been translated into over 4 languages.
THE FOUR-WAY TEST Yotsu no Test
Of the things we think, say or do
| 1. | Is it the truth? | true or not |
| 2. | Is it fair to all concerned? | is it fair to everyone |
| 3. | Will it build goodwill and better friendship? | deepen goodwill and friendship |
| 4. | Will it be beneficial to all concerned? | whether it's good for everyone |
