What action can be called dishonest essay. Definition: what is the honor and dignity of a person? What does a person without honor mean?
How do you understand the word “honor”? This is exactly how one of the topics of the final graduation essay in 2015 was formulated.
"Honor and Dishonor" - this is one of the thematic areas final essay 2017.
It is gratifying that the concept of honor does not become obsolete, and the developers of thematic areas encourage representatives of the younger generation to think about it.
Here is an essay by one of the graduates.
Honor... For some, this is a vague concept, almost an empty phrase, but others attach great meaning to this word. Some people do not attach much importance to honor, others consider it the highest value, for which it is not a pity to give one’s life.
For me, the concept of honor consists of several components. First, honor is loyalty to principles. The official refuses to accept bribes. A wife does not betray her husband. A soldier does not surrender to the enemy. Everyone puts different principles at the forefront. Not to change them under any circumstances, even if it comes to life and death, is a matter of honor.
I remember the novel by A.S. Pushkin " Captain's daughter" It is no coincidence that the Russian proverb became the epigraph to the work: “Take care of your honor from a young age.” The attitude towards honor has become a kind of criterion for assessing human merits in the novel. The characters of most of Pushkin’s heroes are revealed in their entirety in moments of danger, when the Belogorsk fortress is attacked by Pugachev’s army. Captain Mironov dies, but remains faithful to his officer's duty - he does not swear allegiance to the impostor. Grinev is ready to follow his example. Vasilisa Egorovna shares the fate of her husband - such is the wife’s duty. Savelich, taking risks own life, begs Pugachev to save Peter: the duty of a servant is to serve the master to the end. These heroes demonstrate loyalty to their principles, which means they can be called people of honor. They deserve great respect, unlike, for example, Shvabrin, who, saving his life, betrays his noble duty and goes over to the side of the Pugachevites.
Secondly, by the word “honor” I mean an untarnished reputation, that is, a positive assessment that others give to a person. Now for many of us, public opinion is an unnecessary stereotype. But, for example, in the nineteenth century, a damaged reputation could turn into a tragedy. In those days, there was a concept of “noble honor” - they valued it, fought for it and died in duels.
Thirdly, honor for me is inextricably linked with the concept of honesty. It is no coincidence that these words have the same root. A man of honor is truthful with others and with himself. He will never change the truth and will defend his point of view, even if his position does not coincide with generally accepted views. This is Chatsky, the hero of A.S. Griboedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit,” who managed to resist the conservative and ignorant representatives of Famus society.
So, honor is a multifaceted concept; it can have different interpretations. But what is certain is that this is one of the eternal and unshakable values of humanity.

My honor is my life;
Both grow from the same root.
Take away my honor -
And my life will end.

What is honor? For me, honor is internal moral dignity, a pure soul and conscience, honesty and valor. I believe that every person is born with honor, but not everyone can maintain it. Honor is a heavy burden for its owner, but a person who was able to carry it through all obstacles can be called with full confidence noble and decent. So what kind of person can be called a man of honor?
I believe that a person who does not leave a loved one in difficult times can be called with complete confidence a person who lives by honor, by conscience, because only a person with high moral principles can do such an act. In B. Ekimov’s story “The Night of Healing,” Grandma Dunya talked at night, reliving the horrors of war in her sleep. Relatives living in the city began to visit her less often, and only the young grandson Grisha did not leave Baba Dunya alone with her misfortune. The boy tried his best to support her, talked to her, calmed her down, trying to help her survive severe psychological trauma. “Here are your cards, in a blue handkerchief, take them...” the boy said tenderly and lovingly, looking at the tears running from his eyes.
This work is an example of the fact that sometimes children feel pain loved one sharper than adults. I am sure that if already in childhood a person is capable of such strong actions, then he will definitely grow up to be a worthy member of society, a real person who lives according to the laws of honor.
Human life is sometimes unpredictable, but a man of honor in any situation thinks about other people. In V. Zakrutkin’s work “Mother of Man,” Maria, who has lost her entire family, despite ill health, weakness, cold, hunger and poverty, collects crops from the collective farm fields in order to spend the winter with her fellow villagers if they return to their homeland from German captivity. Maria managed to preserve the tiny life glowing inside her and even accepted seven children from besieged Leningrad, whom she fell in love with and raised as family. A person who is in difficult life situation and does not lose the ability to help other people, one can confidently call him a man of honor. This is how I see the heroine of this wonderful story by Vitaly Zakrutkin.
The entire life path of a person is a choice. Moral choice between good and evil, honor and dishonor. And only on the person himself and on the path that he has chosen today, his entire further fate, and the choice of honest life path– this is a very strong choice of a formed personality.
Honor has always been an integral part of a decent person. Let's remember the times Russian Empire when for the slightest word, which purely theoretically could overshadow a man’s honor, his opponent faced a mortal duel, from which only one could emerge victorious. And Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin immediately comes to mind. The great Russian writer, being very offended by Dantes, challenged him to a duel in order to defend his honor before society. But, alas, we all know the end of the story - Pushkin was wounded and soon he tragically died in his bed from a severe bullet wound. If the situation had been different, how many wonderful works the writer would have left for posterity and how many joyful events would have happened in his life.
A man without honor can hardly be called a man in in every sense this word. Having lost this trait of his character, he forever remains a dishonest person in the eyes of the people around him. All contacts with him are cut off, no one will invite him to visit, in the end, he is left alone with himself. Perhaps he will be able to get out of this hole with his decent actions, but this does not happen often.
A man of honor is someone who, without hesitation, will rush to the aid of anyone who is in trouble. A man of honor is one who will not allow himself or his loved ones to be treated poorly. It is an honor to be such a person; such a person will be accepted everywhere and will be happy to see him in his home. However, it is worth understanding that a great responsibility falls on the shoulders of such a person. A man of honor must not show weakness and cowardice for a second. One has only to stumble, and evil tongues will immediately rush to condemn him in every possible way and laugh sarcastically.
Nowadays, young people often begin to forget about this concept. Manners and moral standards are no longer the same as they used to be. The concept of honor is different for everyone. There must be some balance for everything in life. You cannot use emotions alone; you must respect people and their reasoning. But, at the same time, you also need to be able to defend your positions, defend your principles and aspirations.
A man of honor will never give up his moral principles for the sake of wealth and fame. This is an unshakable person with a clear and well-structured life position. Such a person is always ready to answer for his words and finish any work he starts to the very end.
Being a man of honor is difficult, but each of us should strive for this in order to be an example for our children and loved ones.
Essay 2
A man of honor is one who acts from high ideals. As a rule, honor is considered the prerogative of military people and the aristocracy, for whom it has always been especially important not to lose their own dignity. However, these classes do not have any monopoly on honor and dignity; these qualities are available to everyone, but having and maintaining them is incredibly difficult, sometimes more difficult than earning and maintaining wealth.
Honor is understanding the world and relating to it according to noble views. The word honor is related to the word honesty, that is, the absence of lies, the expression of truth. Perhaps in Russian, in relation to the word honor, one should not even use the word truth, but talk about truth.
After all, we can often hear: “everyone has their own truth,” “I have my own truth, you have yours,” or “let everyone have their own.” Of course, there is no such thing as someone telling the truth; either both or one of them is lying. However, dishonest people can afford such expressions; they consider pluralism of opinions possible only in order to protect themselves and protect themselves from censure; they allow others, including false views, to exist only to be able to make their own unpunished mistakes or even deliberate lies and dishonest behavior.
Of course, a man of honor will never become in a similar way to pervert and twist one’s own and others’ views. Dishonor in many ways means confusion, a person who is mired in his own lies, delusions or simply seeking his own gain. In turn, honesty is the utmost clarity.
A man of honor understands and understands many things, since he adheres to the truth and all his actions and views are consistent with the truth. That is why he cannot act deceitfully, that is why, to some extent, he has no choice, but always chooses to act in honor. At the same time, such behavior is not always beneficial for him or brings honor; if he sees wrong actions behind him, then he himself seeks to blame himself and will never lie about himself in order to avoid some troubles.
Such behavior may seem difficult or even unreasonable to ordinary dishonest people. However, such people may live in comfort, but they will never learn how to act with honor.
The most beloved and long-awaited time for everyone is spring. At this time, everything around seems to come to life after a long winter hibernation. The sun appears more and more often, and the sun's rays shine brighter.
A man of honor is someone who has never done anything wrong in his life. He confidently follows rules and morals to keep his name clean. They love such people very much, because you can entrust them with any task and be absolutely calm. A man of honor is not capable of doing anything terrible. He always strives to complete an assignment, keep a secret, or become a good adviser.
Life is easy for such people, because they always find support in society. Many are ready to help such individuals and offer them something interesting. If only it were possible to always choose the right actions, then there would be more people of honor. But not everyone is ready for such sacrifices; many put wealth and desires above their name. This is bad not only for the person himself, but also for those around him.
It is very difficult to earn such a reputation. To do this, you need to constantly think and never act at random. Only the right decision can be logical. Only it leads to good relationships and mutual assistance. A man of honor is capable of much, but he always looks at his pure name and tries to maintain it, so as not to ever face mistrust and contempt.

Honor. There is so much in this word! Honor is the manifestation of such qualities as nobility, dignity, decency. Also this concept means preserving a good name, reputation, both one’s own and that of others. It’s not for nothing that several centuries ago duels were the order of the day, even if most often they were not approved or even prohibited by the authorities. Duelists defended both their own honor and the dignity of, for example, their lovers. In addition, honor manifests itself along with love for the Motherland and people. People respect those who courageously and heroically defended their Fatherland. Thus, this word has many definitions. But who can be called a man of honor?
“Take care of your dress again, but take care of your honor from a young age,” this proverb is said as an instruction by the father of the main character in the novel by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin “The Captain's Daughter.”
Pyotr Grinev follows this order. He loses the money to Zurin and repays the debt, despite Savelich’s protests and his statements about the possibility of getting out of the payment. Later, Grinev takes an oath and remains faithful to it even at the moment when he could lose his life. The hero does not try to deceive others and save himself. In addition, Pyotr Andreevich goes to a duel to defend the honor of Masha Mironova. But Shvabrin acts differently: he insults his “beloved” and all the inhabitants of the fortress in general, goes to the side of the enemy in order to survive, and tries to slander Grinev. Thus, A.S. Pushkin in his work presented readers with heroes whose behavior is a clear example of either honor or dishonor.
Let us remember Boris Vasiliev’s novel “Not on the Lists.” Main character arrives at the Brest Fortress just before the war. He had not yet been included in the unit lists. He had the opportunity to leave there and fight somewhere outside. But Nikolai Pluzhnikov did not do this and, moreover, became one of the last defenders of the fortress. He suffered failures, lost comrades, but did not give up completely. The lieutenant kills his former comrade, who voluntarily surrenders to the Germans as a prisoner. When the soldiers who survived in the fortress want to escape, Pluzhnikov does not leave his beloved, although he is persuaded for a long time, because Mirra is a cripple. At the end of the novel, Nikolai is left alone with the foreman. After he dies, the regimental banner goes to the hero, which he hides. In the tenth month of the war, the enemies find the lieutenant. He surrenders only when he learns that the Nazis were defeated near Moscow. The Germans give Pluzhnikov the highest military honors as he emerges from the catacombs. They were amazed by his courage and patriotism. Nikolai passes away with dignity, since he is real person honor.
Thus, I want to draw a conclusion. To be a man of honor means to live according to the laws of conscience and justice, fulfilling one’s moral and national duty.
