Honour

- P.S. at the beginning of the story is positive that he will pass the test, that is why he asks people do they know a certain Latin word or sentence (Bryan 152). However, when P.S. went to go back to his room and study, realizing he needed more practice, he would get distracted by looking at the window randomly and it could have been another reason for why he can’t conquer his nemesis (Bryan 153). His nemesis is Latin and if he wanted to, he could conquer his nemesis by staying in one spot and blocking distractions from his mind, but soon his studying time was a waste. In addition, when P.S. describes how his father is always disappointed in him and never shows love, that could have affected P.S.(Bryan 155). Meanwhile, it was time to take the exam and what may have caused him to change, was when Charlie was telling P.S. the exam looked “tough” (Bryan 162). - As a result, while P.S. was reading his exam his noticed how he had forgotten how to translate sentences. He got nervous, but realized that his translations where in the desk. P.S. ended up cheating and afterwards it had a big affect on him. P.S. was very paranoid and was scared that if his dad found out that he would be the biggest disappointment ever (Bryan 167-168). Also, P.S. acted weird towards people after the exam (Bryan 167). - The title of the story seems to foreshadow consequences in life, consequences that involve life being unfair to a specific person that gets treated differently and thinks it is wrong.

Preventing the immoral actions while teaching the trust, the school had to maintain but fully explain about the honor codes. From the few schools, there was an already disputation towards the honor codes such as ‘students did not fully understand the role of an honor code; many saw it as another rule to obey“(Source B) which would lead to elimination of honor code, simultaneously loss of both students and school’s trust. Moreover, other problem would be students’ view towards the establishment…

During the Elizabethan Times, presenting honor was connected but not limited to following the Christian faith, showing integrity and loyalty towards the King and the royal family, and to their leadership and position in society. Honour was practically a deciding factor on how an individual was judged. In such a time where being a man of honor was so essential to being a respected and successful individual, one's certainty can play big a role. Without a state of assurance, retaining one's…

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…

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…

There was a time when I experienced the relationship between honor and duty at the Citadel. It happened during second semester in my freshman year. I took a challenging engineering class. It was about coding using C++ computer language. I had experience about coding before because I took Computer Science as my minor. So, I did really well in that class. Most of the time, my friends in that class would ask me to help them doing their homework. I could not refuse because they were my classmates.…

High moral standards of behavior. Honor, is helping those in a time of need. Honor, is doing what you know is right, when others won’t. Honor, is advancing in hard times. Clarence “Kelly” Johnson lived by the motto, “Be quick, be quiet, be on time.”. He played a large role in the design and creation of 40 well known aircrafts, a majority being his own design. He designed; F-80 Shooting Star, XF-90 Interceptor, X-7 Ramjet test vehicle, T-33 and TV-2 USAF Trainer jet, F-94 Starfire Interceptor…

Honor can be viewed and defined in many different ways but here, we should use the definition “honesty, fairness, or integrity in ones beliefs and actions.” I hear the word honor and think of someone on a battlefield who has put everything and everyone before his own life. I do know that there are different types of honor and there is honor in admitting that you might be wrong or you might be defeated and accepting that. Charles Darwin was a man like that. It is very well known that Charles…

Throughout the play Othello by William Shakespeare, the characters experience the reputability of honour and just how far one would go to possess it. In the beginning of the play Othello is greatly respected by those around him, praised for his experience, and level-headedness. Othello is honoured because of his services to the people of Venice, constantly putting himself in danger for the greater good. These escapades are how he charmed his wife Desdemona, telling her stories of how he grew up…
