Tyler Han Language Arts 8B November 14, 2017 I am doing a an Ttruman report on Code of Honor. This is a very touching story. It starts out with a an so called betrayal.

He is taken in by the US government who ask questions about his brother. They so him some tapes and he discovers a secret code hide in his brothers terror messages.

The real bomb is hidden hide in the float and they try to get people to safety. Then in one of the biggest betrayals of all Kamran’s favorite sport report turns out to be a terrorist. She is stopped though and the two of them become major heros and return to their regular life. Darius also gets to go back to the military where he feels he
Code of Honor by Alan Gratz is an amazing, action packed book, that you will not want to put down. I really enjoyed reading this book because there was never a dull moment and it wasn’t too long. The author did a great job keeping my interest the whole time.
Imagine you are a 17 year old boy having the best time of your life at the homecoming dance right after you win the homecoming football game when all of a sudden you find out your brother has been framed as a terrorist. By impuls you lash out on the person that told you the dreadful news and you are sent down to the principal's office, where your mom comes to get you and you find out your brother is possibly a terrorist that is working for al-qaeda. You are in shock and you try to find any way possible to prove your brothers innocent. This is what it was like for Kamran Smith from “Code of Honor” By: Alan Gratz. This book takes place in Arizona, 2015 just a few months before super bowl XLIX (Super bowl 49). In a heated situation where a boy’s brother is mistaken for a terrorist and now his little brother has to prove that he
The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct was developed to uphold the application of core values, ideals, and principles to assist teachers’ decision-making about ethical issues. The Core Values of the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct is based on the foundation of the field's commitment to young children. It is noteworthy that all seven of the Code's Core Values directly address our commitment to children:

Kamran lives in Phoenix Arizona, high school football star, and is dating the most popular girl at school. He is stout, muscular and Persian so he looks Arabic. Kamran was the homecoming dance when all of a sudden his mom shows up and picks him up from the dance. While in the car she tells him the terrible news that his brother, who is currently a US ranger, has allegedly led a terrorist attack on a US Embassy in Turkey. Kamran is utterly confused why his brother would be a terrorist. Darius had never been a pious individual and for him now to be with Al Qaeda. Kamran had looked up to and emulated Darius his entire life because of his positive demeanor. The two also had a Code of Honor between the two that they would protect the innocent
In 1996, former President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PWORA), which brought reform to the welfare system. Under this act, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was replaced with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The enactment of this new program brought about several changes, including transferring the responsibility of welfare from the federal level to the state level, disentitlement to public assistance, and the implementation of work requirements to receive aid (Karger and Stoesz, 2014, p. 228). As social workers, it is important to understand this act and how it fits into our professional goals. While TANF does reflect many of the standards put in place by the National
The DND claims that recent efforts have been made to deal with harassment and improve the relations between the genders. Critics, on the hand, have made the assertion that the efforts being made are not enough to eradicate a way of thinking that has existed for decades (Pugliese, 2015). Moreover, the Canadian Armed Forces’ created Operation Honour in an attempt to ‘eliminate harmful and inappropriate sexual behaviour in the Canadian Military’ (Government of Canada, 2015). This operation was sparked by the report by Justice Deschamps which led to the government conceding that the report indicated the truthful existing of an underlying sexualized culture in the Canadian Armed Forces (hereinafter referred to as the CAF). Moreover, they stated if this issue was not publicly addressed by the CAF itself, it would create a more conducive environment to serious sexual assault (Deschamps, 2015). Furthermore, this operation stated that the conduct that has sparked public outrage is morally wrong and does not reflect the values and ethical principles of the DND and CAF (Government of Canada, 2015).

An honor code is a set of rules that might be enforced in schools. Children sign an agreement contract that says if they break these rules they accept the punishments. I believe that honor codes should be enforced in schools when cheating or other misbehaviors get out of control. In some schools “ students convicted of lying or cheating can expect to receive punishments ranging from suspension to expulsion .” I believe at this moment hotchkiss high school just work on revising our honor system.
I pledge to follow the Honor Code by refraining from lying, stealing, or cheating. I pledge that I have not and will not receive any unauthorized help on any assignment or assessment.
Friendship, and particularly loyalty among friends, is extremely important at Culver Creek. The Colonel emphasizes to Miles that under no circumstances should he tell on a fellow student, and Alaska suffers emotionally for having done so to her roommate, Marya. This code of loyalty, while strict, encourages the students to forgive one another, or at least not to hold grudges. Friends are willing to take the fall for other friends if necessary, and when Alaska does this for Miles, she does not hold her punishment against him. Further, most students are willing to forgive one another even if they have been disloyal. For example, once Kevin has played a prank on Miles, he asks the Colonel for a truce because he feels the Colonel has been adequately punished for telling on Marya (which, of course, he did not in fact do).
Throughout history, there have been different codes of ethics that are often more important to a society that the governing laws of the land. While laws are written standards that people are compelled to abide by for fear of punishment, these codes serve as guideline for how people should live their lives. Two such codes are comitatus as demonstrated in Beowulf and chivalry as depicted in Morte D’Arthur. When the characters in these stories live by the constructs of these social systems, the society flourishes. When characters stray from each social code, however, the entire society falls victim.
The main character of this story is Desmond Doss. Desmond Doss is a Conscientious Objector and he decided to join the Army to serve his country. But since he was a Conscientious Objector he promised to himself that he would never touch a gun. While in boot camp he was mistreated by his sergeant and fellow soldiers for his belief. He later trained to become a Combat medic to help his fellow soldiers because he did not want to carry a gun. Before he got deployed he met Dorthy were he got married to her before going to Japan. While over there they attacked the ridge of Okinawa known as Hacksaw Ridge. Most men that were deployed of there were killed trying to take the ridge to gain a foothold in Okinawa, Japan. He was most well known for his action upon the ridge. He saved over 75 lives while not touching a single gun. After he saved another man he would say “Please lord let me get one more.” He ended up gaining the respect and adoration of the men he served alongside. At the end of the movie he was awarded the first purple heart for a Consensus Objector. Also because of his work inspiring the other soldiers they were able to take the ridge.
The code of ethics and conduct is a written set of rules and regulations that provides guidance to employees of an organization on how to conduct themselves and carry out their duties in line with the organization’s principles. The code of ethics and conduct is also be backed up by suitable disciplinary actions. A code of ethics and conducts helps employees deal with ethical issues and other gray areas that they face as they execute their daily activities. An effective code of ethics and conduct is required for an organization to run smoothly and maintain a positive image. Having an ineffective code of ethics and conduct is almost like having none.
