    The Bowdoin College Academic Honor and Social Code is a thorough and respectable code of ethics that I feel all Bowdoin students should try their best to abide by. While reading the Academic and Social Code during orientation and moments ago, I noticed that a lot of the elements in this communal agreement involve a degree of trust. The College trusts its students to live righteously while simultaneously students trust the College to provide an environment in which it is possible to embody the expectations set for them. With each set of rules however, comes areas of disagreement and discord. In the Academic Honor Code, section 3, paragraph 3, it states, "Plagiarism involves the intentional or unintentional use of...".…

    Not only do all members of National Honor Society practice healthy academic careers, share a commitment to servicing our community, and demonstrate effective leadership, they also showcase exemplary characters that are observed by their advisors and peers. Despite contrary belief, character is not only defined by who you are when no one is watching; it is who you are at all times. You present your character when you are when you are alone in a room, in a busy crowd, with your teammates on the field, and sitting down at dinner with your family. It is a measure of your person that is determined by both the appearances and meanings behind your thoughts, words, and actions.…

    The establishment or maintenance of an honor code in schools is generally a difficult concept to get behind as a member of the student body, however, many positives can appear out of the use of this system to change our schools for the better. The implementation of the honor system benefits students in that it gives them more control over their choices, and allows them to change the social constructs of the school, all while being a malleable framework for honesty in the places of education. First, students may hear the words “honor code” and get the feeling that they are looked down upon and that they are being controlled “behind the scenes” by the adults in the situation. That may be the current connotation of the phrase in students’ minds.…
