Honor In John Green's 'An Abundance Of Katherines'

A soldier without honor is no soldier, as the soldier does not make honor a daily life custom. In order for a soldier to obtain honor in his/her life, the soldier must live according to all the army values. Also, the soldier must have mutual respect within himself and those around him/she not mattering the person or the rank in his/her chest. When a soldier develops the value of honor and turns it into a habit, the soldier will consider and judge every decision before making the final call. However, honor is more than just a word; is the moral of acting, and living

“Moral principles do not depend on a majority vote. Wrong is wrong, even if nobody is wrong. Right is right, even if nobody is right” (Sheen, Fulton). It can be difficult to sometimes do what we need to do over what we want to do. If we do what we hunger instead of doing our responsibilities it can make you seem immature or irresponsible. According to the Merriam Webster, honor means- a showing of usually merited respect: recognition. To be even known as a hero, the person has to earn that title by usually doing what they devise to do over what they want to. The code of honor is when you have a set or either moral or religion principles that you don’t try to break. The heroes of Ancient Mesopotamia, India, and Israel, each honor their moral principles even when they are faced with adversity.

As stated in the foregoing paragraphs, being an honor student means more than just getting a passing grade in any subject. To be an honor student means to better one’s own mental, emotional and

Honor is defined as esteem paid to worth and is associated with reverence, dignity, distinction, reputation, and a good sense of what is right, just, and true. The key part to honor is having respect for others and for yourself, the two must act together because without both one has nothing. In this regard, I uphold the characteristic of honor in the classroom, at home, and on the track. Running track has been a benefit to

In many cultures, for instance, in hispanic culture, honor is a term utterly indulge in families. Although some take it as light as clouds, for others it is a term amiss into being a rock thrown in the stomach. In fact, pride between family members can revolve and cause a disastrous outcome. Such as, a woman not directing a word to her sister due to some misunderstandings between them two. However, to

An individual’s need to conform stems from our mental psychology, which is something we cannot usually change because it is in our nature. Guandong Song et al described conformity as “…a subject’s behavior or attitudes following those of the object. The subject is the individual who conforms. The object can be external or internal factors that cause conforming actions, in the form of individuals, groups, organizations,

Honor implies a high public esteem of a person The Arizona State Constitution’s Victim’s bill of rights is an open access document. An Officer of the Court who has taken an oath has committed to the social and public value ascribed to crime victims. The Officer has duties and opportunities to display honorable behavior.

Honor is when someone is proud of you for taking on a task or performance. The speaker states that,” Today we honor your differences. They have determined your future”(52). This shows Jonas that his community is proud of him for becoming the Receiver of Memory and taking the pain the community has faced. The community was honoring the twelves for having an assignment.

Honor can be many things and is shown repeatedly. They need a Receiver to contain all the pain and knowledge, “They don’t want that… The Receiver is so vital to them, and is so honored,” (142). Only one person is chosen to be the Receiver out of everyone in the community, but they can’t afford another failure.

The definition of honor is the great respect, fairness, honesty to someone’s beliefs, (Dictionary.com). My view of honor is showing respect to someone and doing something for someone else before you. I believe that an example of someone who is honorable is the great German scientist Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein accomplished many great things that prove he was an honorable person.

reveal that we are more likely to conform when we are made to feel incompetent or insecure, are in a group with at least three people, are in a group in which everyone else agrees, admire the group status and so on (Myers & DeWall, 2014). In essence, it means that in order to break from the accepted norm, it would mean to slow things down for others. If you find yourself walking down a crowded street and suddenly everyone drops down, almost certainly your first impulse is to drop down along with them although with a delayed response. The cost for a person to drop down with the crowd unexpectedly certainly outweighs the potential danger that is implied. There are many ways an individual can find themselves in a situation to conform. To conform

"Conformity is a social influence that involves the act of changing your beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in order to fit in with the majority of the group"(Mcleod 1). Conformity is something that everybody has taken part in even when they weren't necessarily aware of it's presence. There are many reasons that can lead a person to conform: the need to feel wanted, the desire to feel accepted, some even conform to avoid standing out, whatever the reason everybody does it. I chose this topic specifically because it happens every day and everybody has conformed at least once in their life, myself included.

Whether we know it or not, we all tend to succumb to the norm of others. We do something or act a certain way because we want to fit in with the others around us. Whether it be from bullying, persuasion, teasing, criticism, or social norm, conforming to the way of society is a part of life. Conformity is defined as a change in behavior or belief in order to accord with others. We all strive to be liked and to fit in, sometimes conforming to others around us is the only was we see fit to do so. Other factors that effect conformity are group size, unanimity, cohesion, public response, and prior commitment (Bikhchandani, Hirshleifer & Welch, 1998).

I understand that as an adult there may be more important things in the world that a person can acquire, but to me, honor is a big part of my life. Whether it is being honorable to God, my elders, or myself. Having honor does not solely mean to do the right thing it is also having confidence and pride in yourself. Matthew 23:12 ¨For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.¨ It is easy to lose track of what you believe in but this verse helps me with that. It is a successive reminder for me to do what I view as right. This sets me apart from other people because I am able to humble myself in order to accomplish what is most beneficial for not only me but the people around me. People in this world are too conceited to the extent that they cannot simply talk to someone they think is ¨beneath¨ them. However, to work as one and build a community that will strive and not just survive we must humble ourselves to help what is most honorable for

Over the past few years the honor code has begun to slowly fade away as more students decide that cheating is the best way to get through school. Many students in college still hold strongly to the honor code, but to others the honor code is dead. Many people believe that you should be able to choose what you do through college if that’s cheating your way till the end or is it doing everything the right way and pushing yourself to be the best. Honor, by definition, explains one with high regards or when great respect is given or received; but in my opinion, honor is one who shows incredible character, shows honest qualities, and has the highest moral beliefs. Those who stick with this code of honor will be respected by other and hold the highest respect for themselves
