I will provide you with various examples of codes of conduct. Review them and use them as a guideline for yours. Do NOT copy the statements from the ones you receive. In reviewing these, look carefully at the different areas that are covered. Be sure to include those in your code of conduct. If you were, or are involved in sports, think back to some of the experiences you had in dealing with parents. Use those to help you create your statements. If you have a child participating in sports, or may have one in the future, think about how you would want other parents to act during the sporting event. Create your code of conduct to reflect that behavior. If you want to make a code of conduct specific to one certain sport, that is fine. Otherwise, you can make it general to cover any youth sports. You need to hand in one code of conduct per group. Be sure to include all names on the paper. Please type up the code of conduct.

...about cadets that were accused of cheating on a take home exam at the United States Military academy at West Point. Over 100 juniors were involved in cheating scandal which made them in violation of the Cadet Honor Code. Anyone who violates such code is to be expelled from the Academy. 52 of the accused were found guilty and 48 appealed their cases. The cheating scandal brought about the attention of the media, press, and even caused for the involvement of the secretary of the army and congress. DIAGNOSIS- The cause of the problem stems from the vagueness of the Honor Code. The Honor Code simply states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal nor tolerate those who do.” The fact the Honor Code has a toleration clause makes the system code extremely difficult to enforce. The dilemma that Lt. General Berry, the Superintendent, had was whether to use the Code as a determination of guilt of the cadets or a more detailed and systematic method. During the case some of the accused cadets begin to write affidavits implementing their fellow classmates. They pointed out specific incidents of other cadets lying, cheating, and stealing. If the Honor Code does not allow toleration then that would mean that the other cadets would have to be tried for the violations of the code as well. THEORY- The theory that applies to this case is personal accountability. One of the things that really stuck out about the case, in my opinion, is the affidavits from the accused cadets. After they got caught...
