People generally do not seem to behave very well toward each other anymore. Honor determines the hierarchy of an individual while revealing his loyalty and true intentions. Reward comes for those at the top whose honor does not diminish, while a false or fleeting honor of a lesser mortal causes…

    47 Ronin Summary

    Japan was in a place of constant change towards the beginning of the 18th century. While the Shogun, Tsunayoshi, attempted to expand his control, the social classes were changing; a system that was once enforced by the samurai was being taken away and replaced. Asano and his samurai were the exception. From the beginning, the concept of honor and redemption is obvious. Lord Asano is an honorable man who is attempting to live by the laws set by Shogun Tsunayoshi. Asano is prompted to bribe Kira (master of ceremonies), but due to his tradition values, Asano refuses. In an attempt to protect himself from the bribery and corruption, he injures Kira.

Following the death of Lord Asano, his masterless samurai become obsessed on getting revenge. After learning that Kira had survived they become obsessed to avenge Asano and redeem his name. Following the Confucian saying, “No man may live under the same sky with the murderer of his lord,” and they go to avenge on the death of their master.…

Even though many people do not believe so, honor is present just as much today as it was in William Shakespeare’s day. In the play Henry IV Part 1, Hal is the best example of an honorable person. Honor is a state of mind that causes people to be honest, just and kind.…

    Hono Honor In America

    Honor in the past is very different from now. Alexander Welsh said,”In the early 17th century [...]upperclassmen in Europe and the United States regularly engaged in duels on ‘fields of honor’ to defend their manhood”(Welsh.What is Honor?). Honor in the past is incredibly contrasting to one another. In the beginning of the 17th century men would duel each other to defend their glory. Honor now is mostly about social life; do you party or stay home?, are you single or in a relationship?, etc. Honor now is based on what you have or haven’t done and if it was ‘wild’ or not.…

    What It Means to Be a Patriot

    Honor is the recognition of selflessness. When we see someone who has gone beyond the little self, we are reminded of our own potential or self-imposed limitation. It is to acknowledge this potential or limitation that we recognize one who has gone beyond. A teacher who has gone beyond the call of duty and truly cared for the student is worthy of honor, for they have used their work (karma) to transcend their ego (Somik).…

    Warrior Ethos

    As an aspiring Army leader, I have been taught a multitude of leadership traits, such as respect, integrity and personal courage. However, the one that stands out the most to me is honor. Honor at school might mean never cheating on an exam or always doing what you say you are going to do. In the Army, honor is all of that and then a lot more. We take honor to the next level, the battlefield, where a M4 makes a bigger difference than a 4.0. In the field of battle a soldier has to live to a certain standard in every part of their life. We are trained to be warriors. As such we have a code, a set of ethos to live by, to guide our lives, on and off the field. Mission first, never accept defeat, never quit, never leave a fallen comrade, these are the guidelines by which each and every Army soldier lives by. To better describe this set of ethos I have chosen to pull scenes from the movie “Men of Honor”. As a forewarning, this movie has one big flaw, it’s about the Navy. However, I’ve gotten past that and can now see how the Army works through every branch.…

    Patient Advocacy

    Ultimately, these situations challenge one’s sense of virtue, which involves acting in accordance with one’s moral and ethical principles. Moral courage is a virtue and needs to be developed (as does emotional intelligence) to determine when action is required. Thus, moral cour­age is linked to virtue ethics, which emphasizes the role of character rather than doing one’s duty to bring about good consequences. Virtue ethics appreciates that conflicts occur and that more than just moral wisdom is needed to ensure a moral outcome.…

    Integrity and courage

    I would propose for your consideration that a significant characteristic of integrity is consideration of others; have I been just too all people that I have dealt with. The ageless adage of “do unto others” seems to have been pushed by the wayside in a self-centered society where a majority of people wander around totally clueless as to how their behavior impacts others. I believe this thoughtless behavior, focusing solely on self-interests and to heck with everyone else, is the root cause of many of America’s current maladies. Whether we are talking about collapsing stock markets, a National debt that will be unsupportable by the next generation or even highway driving frustrations it comes down to the fact that people are all too often not concerned about how their behavior impacts someone else.…
