2015 Honor Amongst the Most Unlikelyl of Characters Honor is defined as “high moral standards of behavior”(). It is not an attribute easily acquired, but it is possible that even the most unlawful of people can have a sense of honor. The gang’s code, the way they treat Steve’s cousin, and Dally Winston’s good deeds are all ways that honor is portrayed among the most unlikely of characters in S.E. Hinton’s book, The Outsiders. First, having rules and a sense of order helps preserve honor in…

to succeed, an honors student should be encouraged to be curious, to be hard-working, and to be accepting. These three qualities are beneficial to have and will help push them towards their best chance at greatness. Honors students should be curious. I think that having a natural interest in finding out about new things is important for success. If one is curious, then one always has a reason to be researching and will maintain attention during learning periods. As an honors student, you…

Although many people may believe that the Antebellum South’s views on slavery were just “slaves,” there is a lot that happened behind the scenes when it came to slavery. Honor and paternalism were very large parts of how slave-owners examined their slaves, bought their slaves, and treated their slaves. Correspondingly, honor and paternalism played a huge part in how slaves reacted towards their master and how good their work quality was, either on the plantation or in the house. In Genovese’s…

In Honors Colloquium, I feel that what is working best is the way in which we are broken into groups. I feel that if it was attempted to teach the class as a whole and discuss as a whole not much would ever be covered. Mainly, due to not many people would participate and many would know that they could just brush off the class. However, in our groups, everything is more interactive and engaging. We are also expected and held to a standard of being prepared and ready to discuss reading in class,…

Honor Throughout Time and Culture From an infinitely remote time in the past, a notion of honor was once conceived. During the course of history this idea of honor has been transformed to compliment the needs of many cultures and many people. In its simplest form honor is defined as being seen as righteous and admirable by oneself and by others. This simple idea of honor is visibly exhibited in General MacArthur’s Thayer Award Speech of 1962 – “Duty, Honor, Country” as he described the American…

The honor code is deeply ingrained in the culture. Vance tells of of his Grandfather explaining the code: “You never start a fight,; you always end the fight if someone else starts it; and even though you never start a fight, it’s maybe okay to start one if a man insults your family. The last part was unspoken but clear.” (page 66) As a matter of fact, few unspoken rules are rarely unspoken, indirectly spoken, but still spoken. How else would you imply contradictory instructions: “You never…

schools, colleges and universities have honor codes to ellicit the best from their students and prevent them from academic dishonesty. Through the act of penalizing those of academic dishonesty, integrity becomes a strong suit for the students relying on their own brains for knowledge. At Jacksonville High, my school, there is an implied honor system, but it isn’t efficiently upheld by the faculty and students. In all, Jacksonville should establish an honor code that relies on the faculty’s…

Honor and glory both have to deal with accomplishments but glory is gained by heroic actions that others have witnessed and later spoke of. Glory increases the social status of that individual and gives them more confidence. According to Hector’s already…
