Starflight is supposed to be the great and noble Nightwing in the dragonet prophecy. The Nightwings can supposedly read minds and foresee the future, but Starflight can not do either of these things. Starflight thinks that it is because he is too young but in the…

Honor is a human construct. It is used to evaluate one’s worth and set expectations. Reputation, notoriety, dignity, honor: these all define one’s place in society, but they are not intrinsic. In Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, various characters struggle with their honor. Laertes’s honor leads him to act irrationally, Hamlet’s honor finally inspires him to act, and the patriarchal society’s idea of Ophelia’s honor destroys her. Hamlet has a complex attitude towards honor, admitting that its…

Our society looks at a person’s actions and judges them if someone opens a door for someone or helps someone. Honor is setting and being committed to self-standards. An example is in a sport when a person does not cheat, even if he could get away with it. Honor is not about what a person says but what they do. A person can also honor others, by treating a person the same whether liking them or not. In conclusion, honor is telling the truth and treating others fairly no matter the circumstance or…

Not everything is supposed to be for everyone. There is not a lot of evidence that an honor code can change your school in such a way to make it necessary. In our school i don't think that our students would support and follow an honor code which would make irrelevant. I do not think that Hotchkiss High School should have an honor code some reasons being that i don't think that kids at our school would abide by its rules. To begin with i think that the honor code would cause more problems at…

Honor codes are a set of principles in a school made to follow, to uphold an honest school environment, which can determine the integrity of a student. It is a controversial topic among students and teachers because of the student opposition of obeying rules. Honor codes should be established and maintained in a school because of the positive shift of student learning environment, student intellectual improvement, and peer relationship progression. Schools who establish an honor code that is…

Honor In Modern America In today’s world, honor is being demonstrated or acknowledged when young boys and men play video games such as Medal of Honor. While playing that game, or games that are similar, the men are experiencing what it would really be like to feel or obtain honor and all that comes with it. Honor is not being portrayed in the world the way it should be. Society is often changing the meaning of honor. Even though honor is represented differently in other cultures, it is being…

This was the first bayonet fight of World War Two. The battalion later found him still alive throwing grenades at the German enemy. This is one of the many stories of soldiers in the 442nd battalion. Soldiers just like Kim wanted to prove that Asian Americans cared just as much about their country as any active citizen in the United States. Even though their government and country distrusted them, the 442nd battalion went far and beyond what was expected of any soldier. In the end the Battalion…

Friedan have demonised domestic slavery and lambasted discrimination. Governments have passed equal-rights acts.” (Dunlop). This then allows women to be able to have the same rights as men and stand up for what they want. Women cannot be forced into things they don’t want to do. Nevertheless even though there are laws put in to help women have the same rights as men it does not necessarily guarantee success to solve the diversity. Just because there are laws put in to make sure women are treated…
