...Honor “Honor- 1. honesty, fairness, or integrity in one’s beliefs. 2. a source of credit or distinction.” (dictionary.reference.com) If you were to ask someone what honor meant, they would most likely take a few seconds to answer and their response would be something like, “honor is being true to your own ideas.” If we really think about it, most of us don’t really know what honor means. We think we do, but in reality we haven’t thought too deeply into the question. Honor. Years ago it was one of the many traits that made a humble and decent man. Men would go through great lengths to get honor, and to make sure that it wasn’t lost, because back then if you lost your honor, you lost your manhood. In one of Aristotle’s books Nichomachean Ethics he described what an honorable man looked like. Years ago chivalry had a lot to do with honor. You had to protect those who needed protection, and if you succeeded then you had honor. If men showed certain traits they were considered honorable men, and that was what most men wanted.Now, honor has a different meaning than it did years ago. We have all heard of the many different types of honor there are. One of the most common type of honor that I have heard of is ,The Code of Honor, which is a list of requirements for one to obtain respect while being in a group of people. In most groups if the code of honor is not achieved your are to be shamed. There is also the group of honor, which is a group of people who agree and while commit...

...is the ‘Aggie Honor Code’ which entitles “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” This straight edged message which represents an Aggies honor and respect is written on a plaque which is attached to a statue right outside of the Corps of Cadet headquarters. This statue was donated by Dr. John and Carol Heit, fellow Aggies from the class of ’43. The Aggie Code of Honor statue seizes the attention of every Aggie that walks by it and with the use of pathos, ethos, and logos this statue is able to connect with the emotions of every single Aggie and convey Texas A&M’s six core values. The statue with the help of pathos and the purge of emotions suggests that the Aggie Ring is only attainable if you follow the path of the...

...steal nor tolerate those who do”, reads West Point’s honor code, allegedly violated in 1976. The West Point Cheating Incident revolves around an incident from 1976, where over 100 juniors were alleged to have cheated on an electrical engineering exam. Cheating on an exam can have damning ramifications at any school, but when it comes to West Point; it is a direct violation of the schools highly held honor code. The honor code is a West Point tradition, and has helped mold military leaders with high integrity and strong values. Due to the sheer number of individuals, who were alleged to be involved, and where the scandal was happening, the event garnered national attention. Due to the uproar in the press and across the country, more pressure was placed on General Sidney Berry, Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy by bureaucrats and politicians alike. Diagnosis West Point is not your ordinary school setting. It is a breeding ground for training our nation’s best and brightest future military leaders. In the United States Military, it is imperative for soldiers to lead with character, while remaining calm under fire. It seems West Point, at the time of this event, concerned itself more around punishing for crimes than it did developing character. If West Point was truly interested in developing leaders with high character, it would not utterly dismiss individuals for any perceived violation of the honor code. “[E]ach organization is embedded—more or less—in...

...considered of the genre. Old School at first glance would not be considered typical of the school story but under further inspection its clear that it follows the same rules as any other in the genre. The three points that are considered the make or break of a school genre are as follows. There is an outsider character that does not play by the rules set by the school. There is an established authority structure and an unwritten code among students. The last point is there must be a conflict between said outsider and power structure, ending in either the school being changed by the outsider permanently or the school re-asserting its control, either way a balance of power is again found. Old School's outsider is the main character and unnamed narrator. The schools authority is strict and it has unannounced animosity towards Jewish people. The conflict between Outsider and the schools authority structure comes when the narrator believes he can cheat his way into winning a contest and plagiarizes, breaking one the the schools rules and defying the code of honor that the students follow when in contest with each other. The narrator in Old School is not the traditional outsider character, it is not his pears or the staff that labels him as such. It is himself, he puts the label on himself within his own mind. The narrator has a Jewish background on his fathers side; At his school there is an unspoken infamy for Jewish people. "Yet it seems to me that Jewish boys even the popular ones...

...“Why colleges should ditch honor codes” on The Washington Post discusses how honor codes encourage rather than stifle cheating. The author, Susan Greenberg, argues that the honor code fails because it relies on students reporting their peers when witnessing a violation of the rules. Students are hesitant to report their peers because they gain nothing from it. Greenberg also states that the honor code is ineffective and have difficult guidelines to follow when today’s society should encourage collaboration, not inhibit it. Due to the punishments school give out for breaking the honor code, students are reluctant to collaborate with others and share problem-solving ideas. Using both personal anecdotes from students and surveys given at colleges as evidence, Greenberg makes her point that colleges should abandon honor codes because they are now obsolete. Throughout the article, Greenberg shows how important the issue of honor codes is to her. However, although she is very passionate...

...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, they wanted to tell things that they should have told from the beginning, according to the Honor Code’s toleration clause. I think that the cadets that...

...significantly to such a "choice." inadequacies in the Honor System, in the Academy environment which was to have supported this System, and in the administration of the EE 304 examination combined to make a cheating incident practically inevitable. A. Honor System Perhaps the most fundamental of the Honor System's inadequacies has been the expansion of the Code well beyond its intended purpose. Cadets have been found guilty for isolated conduct which cannot fairly be characterized as having made them dishonorable. Recently, for example, a cadet who reported himself for stating that he had done 20 sit-ups, when in fact he had done only 18, was found guilty of violating the Honor Code. A similar incident had occurred in 1970. in July of 1974, a new cadet who reported himself for telling his squad leader, who "did not remember the particular incident," that he had shaved, when in fact he had not, was separated. In 1975, a third classman was found guilty by the Cadet Honor Committee of "intentionally deceiving" in that "he wore a second class dress coat to a motion picture" during the week (a regulation prohibited third classmen from attending weeknight movies). If these cases were aberrations, our concerns would not be as great. They are, however, representative of a significant number of the approximately 180 non-EE 304 cases which have resulted in findings of guilt by the respective Cadet Honor Committees during the 1970s. The Honor Code too...
