Honor and glory are central to the Greek character. Since heroes are the essence of the society from which they come from, Greek heroes live their lives according to honor and glory, in all kinds of varied forms. Both traits trigger a magnificent war that takes the lives of numerous men, and shapes its development at every stage. The fall of Troy is “a thing… whose glory shall perish never (Homer, Iliad 2.324)”. The goal of the Greeks is fame that is never ending and lastly even after death, and they let nothing bar their way. The honor of the individual, family, and community guide every action…
Honor is respect that is given to someone to someone who is admired, has a good reputation, and high moral standards of behavior. I believe honor is respect given to people who have done good things, and is a good role model. Rachel Carson is an honorable person because she advanced the global environmental movement through her writings and that is a good thing. She influenced a lot of people in the 20th century.…
In the wake of numerous cheating scandals, such as those at the University of Virginia and Harvard, many people have began to question the effectiveness of honor codes (sources C, D). Honor codes can be defined as a set of rules implemented in a school that are based around morals that define both acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. While many feel as though such guidelines are necessary in maintaining a schools’ dignity, others believe that honor codes are impossible to enforce. Honor codes should not be enforced because they are too harsh, unrealistic, and put innocent students in uncomfortable social situations.…
What does honoring means? Honoring is high respects, as shown for a special merit; esteem.

After all, we would not be the country we are today without our veterans fighting in wars and protecting us and our freedom. But how can one honor a veteran?…
Honor is like personality: it changes over time, it’s different person to person, and culture effects it. Honor can be and is defined in different ways by different people. Honor can be seen as a simple good deed or risking something precious or very important for the sake of someone else. Honor has changed over time from the past to the present and it’s different throughout cultures, American or not.…

Saying you are a part of the military, whichever branch whether it is the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, or Air Force, you walk with honor and that is something that cannot be taken away from you.

Up to 38% of undergraduate students admit to some form of cheating (Donald McCabe). To some, cheating is not considered wrong doing, let alone a repugnant act towards academic integrity. What does academic integrity mean? It can be defined as an honest and responsible pursuit of scholarship, on the other side of the spectrum, cheating is dishonest and irresponsible pursuit of scholarship. Academic dishonesty is composed of different types of cheating such as active, passive and plagiarism. Academic integrity is being responsible enough to plan ahead in order to create your own work.…
The Medal of Honor is the highest award to be given to a courageous individual in the Armed Services of the United States for an act of valor against an enemy force. This award, being so honorable and prestigious, is generally awarded by the President of the United States in the name of Congress. It was introduced on December 9, 1861 when Iowa Senator James W. Grimes created a bill that authorized awarding the medals of honor. The goal of these awards was to enhance the efficiency of the Navy and, having seen its value, Congress passed the bill on December 21, 1861. To the present day, the Medal of Honor awards and recognizes those who exemplify extreme bravery, leadership and dedication to their country.…

Honor is the first of the Marine Corps core values. Honor requires each marine to exemplify the ultimate standard in ethical and moral conduct. Each marine must exemplify an uncompromising code of personal integrity, be accountable for his or her actions as well as holding other marines both junior and senior to their actions. We failed our fellow marines in this aspect by not encouraging them enough to complete the training course and allow them to fail.…
Honor to different people can mean completely different things, so it’s almost impossible to come up with one solid definition of what honor is. To some people being a brave soldier and dying for your country is honorable. For others, it’s being a missionary in a poor African country. While the deeds that are considered honorable may be different, I think it all goes back to my point of being an individual and doing what you think is right. Those missionaries don’t go to Africa for a vacation. They go there to bring the word of God. Those soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen aren’t out there dying for no reason, they are risking their lives to ensure America stays free. While those instances maybe different, they have one thing in common, and that is that in both instances the actions are done because of some moral conviction to do what is right. These people are few and far between these days, and it’s really a breath of fresh air to see people with some kind of morality these days.…
Virtue is a broad term used in ethics, it identifies with the moral character of a person where some other ethic theories focus on duties and roles or the consequences of an action. Virtue ethics has been broken down into three main theories: eudaimonism, agent-based theories, and the ethics of care. Eudaimonism is based on human flourishing or a person achieving their purpose well. An agent-based theory are based on what other people think are admirable traits in people that are thought to be common-sense intuitions. The third type is ethics of care which came from the feminist thinkers, it challenged the “idea that ethics should focus solely on justice and autonomy; it argues that more feminine traits, such as caring and nurturing, should also be considered” (Athanassoulis, N. (n.d.). Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.).…
