...Controversy of Honor Codes Schools generally agree to have some sort of honor code to keep students from cheating, but should this be necessary? They are enforced to keep student’s behavior in line and keep them out of trouble. The code has students thinking for themselves, making them think independently and originally. Students are obligated to report those who are violating the honor code making them feel active in a community. These are just some reasons I feel as though schools should have their own type of honor code. Expulsion can be a result of students not following the honor code they have agreed to. Being entirely kicked from a school is not something that anyone wants to happen in their life. This strikes a fear into the student keeping them on their best behavior. Nobody would want to have to tell their family that they were expelled from the school they worked hard to...

...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...

...Honor An honorable man is someone who displays qualities like integrity, courage, bravery, and honest and then strive to maintain those qualities. Calvin Coolidge says, “No person was ever honored for what you received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave” (Coolidge). He is saying that that honor needs to be earned by giving and it isn’t just something that is handed out. It can be argued that honor hasn’t changed but honor has been affected by time and culture; modern American honor is based off those changes. The definition of honor has not changed, but how people have acted upon it has very much changed. Historically, humanity earned honor by having integrity and doing what is right. Honor was displayed in history through poems; “The epic poems of Homer are primarily about honor and man’s quest to achieve and maintain it” (McKay). That means writers used the truth of how people needed to find...

...An Odyssey of Honor We all know what an odyssey is; for some each day is an odyssey and for others life is The Odyssey. For Odysseus, returning home to his land and his loved ones is the Odyssey. In scenes of deep sorrow, crying serves as a personification of Odysseus’s honor. Furthermore, Odysseus’s sobbing is a vehicle to memorialize the honor of his comrades. In moments depicting this grief, Odysseus illustrates a hero must have legendary achievements and noble qualities, but above all, Odysseus shows a hero must value honor. We will now examine passages depicting Odysseus sorrow in this epic, and through these passages we will show honor as the most important feature of a hero in the Odyssey. We commence our reading of the Odyssey with a common dictionary definition of what the word hero symbolizes in our mind. According to Merriam Webster, a hero is one with distinguished...

...Lone Star College – CyFair Honors Program Honors Scholarship Proposal Presented by: Jacob N. Qurashi and Tashara A. Frasier I. Title (Honors Scholarship Proposal ) II. Purpose To create a scholarship for LSC-CyFair students actively enrolled in honors courses or taking honors by contract which will aide students enrolled in these courses and serve as a recruitment and retention incentive to both the honors program and the college at large. III. Introduction a. Background As part of an ongoing student outreach campaign for the LSC-CyFair Honors Program, the Honors Student Organization has participated in many campus events this last year. Interested students frequently ask whether or not the Honors Program offers a scholarship to its students. At the present time LSC-CyFair does not offer a scholarship to its honors students. We believe creating a scholarship will not only help students taking honors classes which typically require additional materials or expenses in addition to those already incurred in the regular section, but can used as a marketing device for the honors program and the campus. Over the last couple of years, representatives of the Honors Student Organization have meet with Student Outreach to encourage publicity of the Honors Program at Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District high schools and local National Honors Society advisors; the addition of an honors scholarship would be a powerful selling point to both...

...onor codes have been around for quite a while, and at times, they can be efficient and work well, but as important and possibly useful honor codes are, I believe that my school should continue to not have honor codes. It could prevent academic dishonesty, but at times, people could blatantly ignore it, or others would call it unnecessarily complex. Whenever an honor code was created, there had been a bit of controversy surrounding the code. According to source B, “Many students, including members of the senate, were quick to criticize it.” Their criticisms included that the honor code would become “Another rule to obey”, or it would be too tiring and excessive to “write on every piece of work submitted.” With a lot of controversy, it would...

...Honor is one of those words that can widely be left up for the individual to determine. For some it could just mean someone who is looked up to. Others may see it as someone who is respected or famous in their such field or profession. Merriam Webster dictionary, alone, has over ten different meanings of the word “honor” on just its website, ranging from several different means of honor. I think that honor can have a multitude of meanings, especially depending on the subject or task at hand. A player could receive an honorable mention as an award for excelling in their sport or just showing good team respect and sportsmanship. Honor roll and distinguished honor roll certificates are given to those students who go above and beyond the expectations...

...This Essay is to explain the Army Values and how they pertain to the mistake I made. In the US army we are taught to live by the 7 army values. They are broken down to us in the acronym ‘LDRSHIP’. Loyalty “Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. constitution, the Army, and other soldiers.” Duty “Fulfill your obligations.” Respect “Treat people as they should be treated.” Selfless Service “Put the welfare of the nation, the Army and your subordinates above your own.” Honor “Live up to the army values.” Integrity “Do what’s right legally and morally.” and Personal Courage “Face fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral).” We are all drilled on these 7 army values from day one of basic training. First we commit them to memory. Then we learn to live by them. The three Army Values that pertain the most to this particular incident are Loyalty, Integrity, and Honor. What I am going to do is define each using the Army’s definition and then state how I did not use them. First being, Loyalty- is bearing witness to your allegiance to the US Constitution and its ideals, to the Army, to your unit, to your fellow Soldiers and subordinates, and to yourself as an Army Professional. Loyalty means placing your professional obligations and commitments before your personal ones. It means dedication to carrying out all of your unit’s missions and to serving faithfully the values of the country, the Army, and your unit. Loyalty is a value that has to be worked...
