Homer's Heroic Code, 2007.
This paper explores which character is the real hero in Homer's "Iliad".
3,243 words (approx. 13.0 pages), 12 sources, MLA, AU$ 136.95

Abstract
The paper examines the heroic code of Homer's "Iliad" and how heroism is defined. The paper demonstrates how this definition of heroism undergoes a gradual change during the course of the epic. The paper discusses how a hero is not someone who is all virtuous and perfect, but is someone who is courageous despite his flaws and weaknesses and who believes in improving. The paper illustrates how Achilles, therefore, fits Homer's code of a hero more than Hector.

From the Paper
"Iliad is Homer's masterpiece not only because it deals so many varied elements of ancient society but also because it offers a comprehensive commentary on heroism and what makes a real hero. To decide whether Achilles or Hector was the real hero, we need to see how they were presented and what is it that makes their characters unique and special. Homer's Iliad presents the oldest yet most enduring picture of hero and heroism. Who is a hero and what constitutes heroism are questions that Iliad answers but in a manner which may not appeal to modern sensibilities. For us today, a hero is a man who is sensitive, courageous and responsible with compassion for the community. However apart from courage, no other attribute mattered for construction of a heroic figure in Greek epics of ancient times."

The Homeric Honor Code, 2002.
A paper discussing male codes of honor in ancient Greece using Homer's 'Iliad' and Hesiod's 'Works and Days'.
1,869 words (approx. 7.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 86.95

Abstract
This paper discusses male honor codes in ancient Greek society, focusing on seven areas-- prowess in battle, to be able to speak eloquently and convincingly, to honor duty to family and townspeople, to be kind to supplicants, to honor the gods, to be loyal to friends and fellow soldiers and to be recognized as an honorable warrior both through material and non-material acknowledgment.

From the Paper
"The code of honor that the warriors of the Illiad lived by was complex and oftentimes contradictory. The rules of male honor in the Greek society portrayed in the poem required a man to have prowess in battle, to be able to speak eloquently and convincingly, to honor his duty to his family and townspeople, to be kind to supplicants, to honor the gods, to be loyal to friends and fellow soldiers and to be recognized as an honorable warrior both through material and non-material acknowledgment. These seven characteristics are not an exhaustive list of the qualities expected from a Greek man, but I believe them to be the most significant in relation to the Illiad. I will outline the Greek warrior code using examples from the Illiad and I will then discuss Achilleus? responses to the expectations that the honor code placed upon him. The code of honor in the Illiad is by no means simple and I will explore its complexity and the possible critique that the poem has of this honor code."

Honor and its Social Impact in "The Iliad" by Homer, 2008.
An analysis of the social roles of the heroic code of honor in "The Iliad" by Homer.
2,167 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 98.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper analyzes the heroic code of honor in Homer's "The Iliad" by examining the social roles of Hector and Achilles within the construct of familial and military culture. The paper defines the social role of Hector as a hero and as an ethical defender of his family through civic responsibility. The paper looks at the social role of gift giving as a part in the heroic code, because honor becomes the central catalyst for the heroic portrayals provided by Homer in "The Iliad". The paper then points out that Achilles also abides by strong ethic towards honor, which invariably creates a social impact on his actions after Patroklos is killed. In conclusion, the paper shows that the impact of these social norms drive Achilles and Hector toward the extreme violence of war, which ultimately ends in their deaths.

From the Paper
"The encounter between Hector and Andromache during the battle reflects a Homeric process, which allows for a union between family that is compassionate and not driven necessarily by a cold and calculating necessity for war on the part of the soldier. In this manner, Homer is projecting a socially responsible man in Hector that respects social traditions military and within the family unit. Andromache is a wife that shows concern, and only wishes for her husband to stay with her and not die in battle with the Aecheans. In this manner, Hector is not only questing to find solace in his wife's love for him, but actually seeks to be consoled before entering into the main thicket of war outside the Trojan City."

The Society of the Homeric Poems, 2005.
An analysis of the usefulness of the labels "heroic code" and "shame-culture" in understanding the moral context of Homer.
2,127 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 9 sources, APA, AU$ 96.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper attempts to address the question of moral values in Homer's world and examines how the Greeks have an established hierarchy and concomitant etiquette rules governing how different members of society can behave to one another. It looks at how at the very top of this society are the heroes, such as Achilles in the Greek army and Hector on the Trojan and how, because they are so prevalent in the action of the poem, their ethics are much discussed. It shows how the notion of a "heroic code" governing how they behave is a controversial one, as is that of a "shame-culture", where shame is the crucial factor in the judgements of the agathoi.

From the Paper
"Hector's fear that a lower-class individual will mock his cowardice is one instance where social values are shown in the poem. Of course, the Iliad is set in a martial environment, and so ideas of a society as a whole rarely feature. The poet of the Odyssey makes more of this. One element of an agathos is his position as a head of a clan, such as Achilles and his Myrmidons. Thus they must lead others who are not agathoi, and occasionally enforce their status. This happens memorably in Book II, where Odysseus beats Thersites with his staff, for dissenting in the council and speaking in it when, as a commoner, he is not allowed to. In his abusive call for a return home, he exhibits none of the noble qualities which agathoi possess, and shows disrespect to his betters. "

Social Roles in "The Iliad", 2008.
An analysis of the social roles of Hector and the heroic code in "The Iliad" by Homer.
2,150 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 1 source, APA, AU$ 98.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper analyzes the social roles of the hero in "The Iliad" by Homer. It shows the impact of the grim facts of war in relation to death and life and how this produces an increased social role in life. The paper defines the social role of Hector as a hero who is an ethical defender of his family through civic responsibility. It also shows how the social role of gift giving is also a part in the heroic code, as honor becomes the central catalyst for the heroic portrayals provided by Homer in "The Iliad."

From the Paper
"With this loss, Achilles eventually fights Hector and kills him. He then disgracefully drags his body after his chariot because his rage has fully consumed. Achilles has lost any kind of sanity he had since his clash with Agamemnon, which has been the social fabric of the heroic code that is the result of a dishonorable gift giving exchange. The cycle of military honor has been made complete, enforcing the sense of social norms that created the plot dynamics and the sense of honor in battle. Now, Achilles appears to care little for living any longer, since his closest friend is now dead. The social forces of military honor have created the basis of a heroic code for Achilles, which along with hector, provide the duty that a warrior must abide by to gain the respect and loyalty of his family, friends, and fellow soldiers."

Conclusions

From the Paper
"The questionability of the core assumption contained in 'ethics training as sanctions' does not invalidate the proposal itself. The application of a redefined version of the 'ethics training as sanctions,' one which acknowledges that ethic violations are often deliberate and express an innate disregard for the code, can positively contribute to the strengthening of the legal ethics project. As Goodlad (1995) argues, the greater majority of legal practitioners have not benefited from a law education which centralised legal ethics or which integrated the imperatives and components of ethics evaluation and moral judgment and practice into the academic curriculum. Therefore, their ethics development, as contrasted to their academic development, is immature (p. 93). Within the framework of this understanding, the preponderant lack of commitment to the ethics code emanates, not from lack of knowledge but, from lack of understanding. Ethics training is beneficial in this regard insofar as it can create and transmit that understanding, thereby compensating for the legal ethics education deficit (p. 94)."

The Code Napoleon, 2003.
This paper discusses the Code Napoleon, known as the French Civil Code, and its role in the unification of the revolutionary France and the Empire.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explains that Napoleon firmly believed that Frenchmen needed equality more than liberty; he saw the codification of the laws as a means of giving stability to both the French economy and society. The author states that the Code Napoleon is written in clear and concise language and seeks to strike a balance between Roman and customary law by blending the egalitarian principles of the Revolution in regards to individual rights with the conservative views of Roman law regarding property rights. The paper relates that the Declaration de Saint-Owen guaranteed the retention of Napoleon's Code as the law of France; however, (1) of the countries of the Empire, only the Belgian provinces and the Rhineland retained the civil code completely intact, (2) Holland, Italy and Portugal modeled their national codes upon it and (3) Spain, several South American countries, the State of Louisiana and French Canada would all later adopt large portions of the Napoleonic Code into their own codes.

From the Paper
"Prior to the French Revolution, French law was divided chiefly between two systems: Roman law (which had changed little since the Justinian Code (533 AD)) was paramount in the southern two-fifths of France; and Teutonic Customary law in the northern provinces with the dividing line running generally along the river Loire. Some attributes of customary law existed in the south, and traces of Roman law could be found in the Northern provinces. In the north there were over sixty regional variations of the customary law in existence; in addition to the over three hundred local variations which combined the regional law with the unique local customs of the region. "Voltaire was not exaggerating when he said that in France the traveler changed laws as often as he changed horses.""

Abstract
This research will examine four epics from the Greco-Roman and Indian cultures: Homer's Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid, The Ramayana of Valmiki, and The Mahabharata

From the Paper
"This research will examine four epics from the Greco-Roman and Indian cultures: Homer's Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid, The Ramayana of Valmiki, and The Mahabharata. The research will discuss the degree to which these epics reflect the heroic context of a given society's past and/or its present concerns.


There appears to be fairly wide agreement among commentators on epic literature and cultural myths that certain consistent patterns of narrative action and treatments of human experience can be discerned across cultures. One is heroic activity in poems that deal with the history, actions, personal development, and destiny of one or more heroic figures. What these heroes do, what is done to them, and their ultimate destiny take on symbolic weight and become determinants of what is valued and distinctive in a culture.


Epic focus on heroes of a mythic past may be relevant to a..."

"Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago. At the start of the novel, Santiago has gone eighty-four days without making a catch. The other fishermen of his village have begun to label the old man as salao, or "unlucky" (Hemingway 9). A young boy named Manolin is the only person who still has faith in Santiago's abilities. Although Manolin has helped Santiago before, his parents will no longer allow him to go out fishing with the old man. Therefore, Santiago embarks on a fishing expedition alone. In the course of this expedition, which ends up lasting three days, Santiago manages to catch the biggest marlin ever seen in the area. Although the struggle for the marlin saps most of the old man's strength, his test of endurance does not end there. As he tows the huge fish home, it is attacked by ... "

Student Code of Conduct, 2008.
A discussion about university student codes of conduct and whether students comply with these codes.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses the student code of conduct on university campuses and looks at how this code is not always respected or upheld by the students attending the universities. The paper then goes on to elaborate on how students do not always comply with the student code of conduct and concludes that a student code of conduct is not enough to ensure proper behavior and conduct on campus. Instead, universities should seek alternative actions to enforce and uphold polices that will ensure that the students are enriched through a "safe" and positive academic experience.

From the Paper
" Another act of violence that is occurring on college campuses is hazing. "Hazing" includes activities such as being kidnapped, abandoned, excessive drinking, sexual acts, assault, and in some circumstances, even death. Hazing continues to be prevalent amongst college students as a form of "initiation" or "admission". Students believe that hazing promotes unity and team cohesiveness. The reality about hazing is that it usually goes on under a blanket of sworn secrecy (Campo, Paulos, Sipple, 2005); which makes this problem one that should not be tolerated. A zero tolerance rule should also be adopted for any violent acts on campus. Campo and her colleagues (2005), describe hazing as any activity that is a "condition of initiation" in an organization that may have a negative impact on the physical and/or emotional well-being of individuals and/or their peers. Hazing has been practiced for years; most commonly identified to athletes, fraternities and sororities."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the AICPA code of conduct that AICPA members are expected to follow. The writer explores the various elements of that code and analyzes their importance as they pertain to ethics and fraud. The writer also examines the impact of the code on the profession and the pros and cons of suggested solutions.

From the Paper
"The AICPA does not allow any member to disobey or break the local, state, federal laws of the land in conducting the daily business of finance for a client but instead sets additional and narrowly defined boundaries indicating the importance of ethical conduct and confidentiality within the field.
"The AICPA specifically outlines many different ethical considerations and provides the guidelines for the CPA member to follow in the course of his or her daily routines.
Items including whether or not a CPA can publicly disclose the names of clients, or whether the CPA can use information gained during the course of the day to further personal agendas are addressed as well as what to do if a client request that the CPA conduct business in a manner inconsistent with local, state or federal laws.
"The AICPA has worked to address most issues that can come up in the professional setting of a CPA profession and then designed a framework for the CPA member to follow with regard to those situations."

Abstract
The paper looks at the development of a code of ethics with respect to the social work profession. It focuses on the ethical code 1.09 which forbids inappropriate relationships with clients. The paper begins by creating four cases in point to illustrate lack of professionalism within the discipline and studies the development and actualization of ethical code 1.09.

From the Paper
"All four of these stories that I have just told are actually fictional stories, yet these fictional stories are quickly becoming factual stories as the social work profession continues to grow and branch out to new frontiers. Ethics are extremely important in the social work profession, and it is imperative to be informed on each individual ethic. However, I have chosen to focus upon one particular social work ethical standard, which involves the social worker having sexual relationships with clients; that is ethical standard "1.09" (Kirst-Ashman & Hall, 1999, p. 423). I told four separate stories to show the different natures of this ethical standard. Throughout time, these have become four distinct categories classified under this standard, as we will later see throughout the discussion of this ethic".

Improving Building Codes and Their Administration, 2001.

19,203 words (approx. 76.8 pages), 34 sources, MLA, AU$ 363.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The regulation of building construction can be traced back 4,000 years to cultures such as the Chinese, Greek, and Roman empires. Building regulations arose from the attempts of our ancestors to establish ways to control or avoid devastation from building fires and construction failures. Today, there are a number of specific parameters that affect the cost of buildings, including government building codes, which are enacted to protect public health and safety; these can take the form of both prescriptive and performance requirements, as well as industry demands that may not be reflected in actual building codes themselves, which consist of such desirable factors as climate control, elevators, and other aesthetics. Based on the efficiencies provided by standardized codes, the trend toward adoption of such codes nationally and internationally would seem to be a prudent choice for builders and municipalities. This study examines what the three code-making bodies within the United States were doing, are doing, and how they are now working together to produce a common building code for the United States to improve the safety, aesthetics, and functionality of the building conditions required for the entire country. The hypothesis of this paper is that, as a result of this leadership and innovation in the United States, improvements in building codes will extend to the developing countries of the world.

From the Paper
"Gene Fessenbecker, author of Building Codes and the Construction Contractor, says that, ?The regulation of building construction can be traced back 4,000 years to cultures such as the Chinese, Greek and Roman empires. Building regulations arose from the attempts of our ancestors to establish ways to control or avoid devastation from building fires and construction failures. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson tried to establish some of the earliest design and construction regulations in America for the purpose of protecting public health and safety? (Fessenbecker 1). Today, there are a number of specific parameters that affect the cost of buildings including government building codes, a which are enacted to protect public health and safety; these can take the form of both prescriptive and performance requirements, as well as industry demands which may not be reflected in actual building codes themselves which consist of such desirable factors as climate control, elevators and other aesthetics. This study is intended to examine what the three code-making bodies within the United States were doing, are doing and how they are now working together to produce a common Building Code for the United States to improve the safety, aesthetics, and functionability of the building conditions required for the entire country.

The Hammurabi Code, 2008.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explains that the reign of Hammurabi, King of Babylonia from 1792 to 1750 B.C., is most remarkable for his codification of laws, the earliest-known example of a ruler proclaiming publicly to his people an entire body of laws, arranged in orderly groups. The author points out that the Hammurabi Code was really a secular code presented in the form of royal edicts or judgments dealing with particular problems and recorded both as specific decisions and as exemplars. The paper describes the code, which regulates economic, social, and political relations with an overall tone of the code is one of justice and responsibility. The author states that the code's stress on legal equity found a central place in the Jewish Torah, the Christian Gospel and the Islamic Koran.

From the Paper
"The Code of Hammurabi reveals a society with a system of strict justice. Penalties for criminal offenses were severe and varied according to the social class of the victim. A crime against a member of the upper class was punished more severely than the same offense against a member of the lower class. Moreover, the principle of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth was fundamental to this system of justice. This meant that punishments should fit the crime."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the term code switching" is actually used to describe those cases wherein a bilingual speaks to another bilingual with the same linguistic background and changes from one language to another in the course of conversation. It provides an overview of the grammar of code switching, some constraints associated with the concept, a description of the quantitative and qualitative differences that affect language acquisition and use, and the code-switching differences between children and adults. A critical review of the peer-reviewed and scholarly literature to this end is followed by a summary of the research and salient findings in the conclusion.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"According to Byram (2000), "Just like words, the voice (the way of pronouncing words and phrases, intonation and rhythm), gestures of various kinds, visual signs, posture, gaze, proxemic positioning and so on contain information which can be captured and used by the interlocutor in an appropriate and efficient manner, irrespective of the language and culture and in spite of certain quantitative and qualitative differences" (p. 446). In this regard, Meisel (2000) suggests that language acquisition studies have much to gain from investigating the simultaneous acquisition of two (or more) "first languages": "By analyzing the development of two linguistic competences in one individual, we may be capable of sorting out more easily to what extent the underlying logic of development is determined by the grammatical system to be acquired, or the particular way of human language processing as opposed to properties of the individual or of the communicative situation. There is, in fact, a steadily increasing amount of research in this area" (p. 344)."

Ethical Codes of Social Work, 2005.
An analysis of the ethical codes of social work and how these codes benefit social service users.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses the major values and ethics of social work . It examines how basic helping and counselling skills are guided by the ethical codes and then discusses the benefits that can be attained for the service user when they are used effectively. Furthermore, the paper outlines what can occur when such codes are not adhered to in the way they should be.

From the Paper
"Moreover, unless such theoretical assumptions are placed at the centre of social work endeavour, it is difficult to envisage how the relationship between the social worker, individual service user and wider community can be successfully forged and maintained. Above all, what these values and ethics show is that the practice of social work is extremely varied and must include a wide and differing collection of factors. This is indeed the case with relationship forging but it could also include less obvious and more complex factors like the ecological social work approach (Watson and West, 2006). Here is it necessary for true harmony to be found between human beings and the wider ecological environment. Doing so is a protracted process, but there is also an inherent danger that social work values and ethics are lost when using such wide ranging criterion for the purposes of social understanding."
