Cowboys have a code of honour they must respect, this involves “never taking unfair advantage, never betraying trust, and always telling the truth” (Dick Oakes). Throughout the film Ennis who refers to himself as a cowboy during the film breaks all of these rules. In a true western film the cowboy would not consider going back on the oath he has taken, but since the melodrama in this film seems to overpower the western aspects it happens much more than expected.

The honor code is a list that we as Christians should live our life according to. The honor code for Oral Roberts University could be called the students commandments that they must carry out during their time here and hopefully the rest of their lives. The purpose of the honor code is to give us students a foundation to abide by.

When I was five years old, I remember my dad wearing a culinary hat and apron. He used to cook, clean, and helping me do my homework while my mom was at work. During that time, he took time from work because my mom was promoted in her job and she had to work for couple weeks the evening shift.

There may be an honor code that is strictly enforced, but if students have no part of the process and are only punished,…
