Bravery:
ˈbrā-və- plural braveries. : the quality or state of having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty

What is bravery and why is it important?


On a physical level, bravery allows us to overcome fears, such as swimming or playing a sport. And, on a moral level, doing what we know to be right, despite the risks, gives us the sense that we are acting on behalf of a larger purpose. On a group level, bravery is inspiring and contagious.
courage:
Bravery refers to voluntary (not coerced) action in the face of a dangerous circumstance. This strength involves judgment; the brave person must have an understanding of the risks and consequences involved in acting.

According to Socrates and Plato, forethought separates acts of valor from acts of rashness. This means that bravery isn’t simply fearlessness, but instead the overcoming of fear. Bravery can take many forms. Physical bravery involves overcoming fear of bodily injury or death.

Moral bravery occurs when an individual does what he/she believes is right in the face of social and/or financial consequences. Mental bravery occurs when people overcome their everyday fears and anxieties.

Courage:
: mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.

Definition: "mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty" (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/courage).

There will be times when you may be challenged by situations you see unfair, difficult, or unjust. Find the motivation to do what is right and stand up for yourself, your instructors, or your classmates. If you feel as though honesty, trust, respect, responsibility, fairness, or courage has been broken, be courageous. Make your voice heard and seek out assistance.

Courage is demonstrated by:

• Bravery
• Standing up for what is right
• Not being passive or timid
• Taking action without hesitation

One definition I found said bravery is more spontaneous than courage. In other words, bravery is when someone makes a spontaneous decision to set fear aside. Courage, on the other hand, involves having fear, being mindful of the risks, and making the conscious decision to do something anyway.
