In our cruel age, it seems that the concepts of honor and dishonor have died. There is no particular need to preserve the honor of girls - striptease and viciousness are paid dearly, and money is much more attractive than some ephemeral honor. I recall Knurov from Ostrovsky's "Dowry":

There are boundaries beyond which condemnation does not cross: I can offer you such an enormous content that the most evil critics of someone else's morality will have to shut up and open their mouths in surprise.

Sometimes it seems that men have not dreamed of serving for the good of the Fatherland for a long time, protecting their honor and dignity, defending the Motherland. Probably, the literature remains the only evidence of the existence of these concepts.

The most cherished work of A.S. Pushkin begins with the epigraph: "Take care of honor from your youth" - which is part of the Russian proverb. The whole novel "The Captain's Daughter" gives us the best understanding of honor and dishonor. The main character Petrusha Grinev is a young man, almost a youth (at the time of his departure for the service he was "eighteen" years old according to the testimony of his mother), but he is so determined that he is ready to die on the gallows, but not to tarnish his honor. And this is not only because his father bequeathed to him to serve in this way. Life without honor for a nobleman is like death. But his opponent and envious Shvabrin acts in a completely different way. His decision to go over to the side of Pugachev is determined by the fear for his life. He, unlike Grinev, does not want to die. The outcome of the life of each of the heroes is logical. Grinev lives a dignified, albeit not rich life of a landowner and dies in the circle of his children and grandchildren. And the fate of Alexei Shvabrin is understandable, although Pushkin does not say anything about this, but most likely death or hard labor will cut off this unworthy life of a traitor, a man who has not retained his honor.

War is a catalyst for the most important human qualities, it shows either courage and courage, or meanness and cowardice. We can find proof of this in V. Bykov's story "Sotnikov". The two heroes are the moral poles of the story. The fisherman is energetic, strong, physically strong, but courageous? Once captured, on pain of death, he betrays his partisan detachment, betrays its deployment, weapons, strength - in short, everything in order to eliminate this hotbed of resistance to the Nazis. But frail, sickly, puny Sotnikov turns out to be courageous, endures torture, and resolutely ascends to the scaffold, not doubting the correctness of his deed for a second. He knows that death is not as terrible as the remorse of betrayal. At the end of the story, Rybak, who escaped from death, tries to hang himself in the outhouse, but cannot, because he cannot find a suitable tool (the belt was taken from him during his arrest). His death is a matter of time, he is not a completely fallen sinner, and living with such a burden is unbearable.

Years pass, in the historical memory of mankind there are still samples of acts of honor and conscience. Will they become an example for my contemporaries? I think yes. The heroes who died in Syria, rescuing people in fires, in disasters, prove that there is honor, dignity, and there are carriers of these noble qualities.

In terms of honor and dignity, a person's spiritual connection with society is expressed. “Honor is my life,” Shakespeare wrote, “they have merged into one, and the honor of losing is equal to the loss of life for me.”

Own position: What does the concept of "honor" mean today? Everyone will interpret this concept in their own way. For some, it is a set of higher moral principles, respect, honor, recognition of other victories. For others it is "land, cattle, sheep, bread, commerce, profit - this life!" For me, honor and dignity is not an empty phrase. It's too early to say that I live by honor. But I hope that these concepts will always serve as a life guide for me.

In our time, it already seems that the concepts of "honor and dignity" are outdated, having lost their original, true meanings. But earlier, in the days of valiant knights and beautiful ladies, they preferred to part with life rather than lose honor. And it was customary to defend their dignity, the dignity of their loved ones and people simply dear to their hearts in fights. Let us at least remember how, defending the honor of his family, A.S. died in a duel. Pushkin. “I need my name and honor to be inviolable in all parts of Russia,” he said. Favorite heroes of Russian literature were people of honor. Let us recall what instruction the hero of the story "The Captain's Daughter" receives from his father: "Take care of honor from a young age." The father did not want his son to become a secular buffoon and therefore sent him to serve in a distant garrison. A meeting with people devoted to duty, Motherland, love, for whom the honor of the uniform was above all, played a decisive positive role in Grinev's life. He passed with honor all the trials that fell to his lot, and never dropped his dignity, did not compromise his conscience, although there were plenty of opportunities, there is peace in his soul.

"Honor is like a precious stone: the slightest speck deprives it of its luster and takes away its entire value," - once said Beauchene Edmond Pierre. Yes, it really is. And sooner or later everyone will have to decide how to live - with or without honor.

Every newborn is given a name. Together with the name, a person receives a history of his kind, the memory of generations and an idea of \u200b\u200bhonor. Sometimes the name obliges to be worthy of its origin. Sometimes you have to wash off your actions, correct the negative memory of your family. How not to lose dignity? How to protect yourself in the face of the emerging danger? It is very difficult to be prepared for such a test. Many examples of this can be found in Russian literature.

In the story of Viktor Petrovich Astafiev "Lyudochka" there is a story about the fate of a young girl, yesterday's schoolgirl, who came to the city in search of a better life. Growing up in the family of a hereditary alcoholic, like frozen grass, she has been trying all her life to keep honor, some kind of female dignity, trying to work honestly, build relationships with people around her, not offending anyone, pleasing everyone, but keeping her at a distance. And people respect her. Respects for the reliability and diligence of her landlady Gavrilovna, respects poor Artyom for severity and morality, respects in her own way, but for some reason she is silent about this, stepfather. Everyone sees her as a person. However, on her way there is a disgusting type, a criminal and a scum - Strekach. He does not care about a person, his lust is above all. The betrayal of the "boyfriend-friend" Artyomka turns into a terrible ending for Lyuda. And the girl is left alone with her grief. For Gavrilovna, there is no particular problem in this:

Well, they broke the plonba, you think, what a disaster. But this is not a flaw, but now they get married at random, ugh, now for these things ...

The mother generally withdraws and pretends that nothing has happened: an adult, they say, let herself get out. Artyom and "friends" are calling to spend time together. And Lyudochka does not want to live like this, with a soiled, trampled honor. Seeing no way out of this situation, she decides not to live at all. In her last note, she asks for forgiveness:

Gavrilovna! Mama! Stepfather! What is your name, I did not ask. Good people, sorry!

In the epic novel "Quiet Don" by Sholokhov, each heroine has her own idea of \u200b\u200bhonor. Daria Melekhova lives only with the flesh, the author says little about her soul, and the heroes in the novel do not perceive Daria at all without this base beginning. Her adventures both during her husband's life and after his death show that honor for her does not exist at all, she is ready to seduce her own father-in-law, just to satisfy her desire. It is a pity for her, because a person who has lived his life so mediocre and vulgar, who has not left any good memory of himself, is insignificant. Daria remained the embodiment of a base, lustful, dishonorable female gut.

Honor is important to every person in our world. But especially the honor of women, girlish remains a visiting card and always attracts special attention. And let them say that in our time morality is an empty phrase, that “they will get married at random” (according to Gavrilovna), it is important who you are for yourself and not for those around you. Therefore, the opinions of immature and narrow-minded people are not taken into account. For everyone, honor has been and will be in the first place.

In his article, D. Granin speaks about the existence in the modern world of several points of view about what honor is, and whether this concept is outdated or not. But, despite this, the author believes that the sense of honor cannot become outdated, since it is given to a person from birth.

In support of his position, Granin cites a case related to Maxim Gorky. When the tsarist government canceled the election of the writer to the honorary academicians, Chekhov and Korolenko renounced the titles of academicians. By this act, the writers expressed their rejection of the government's decision. Chekhov defended Gorky's honor, at that moment he did not think about himself. It was the title of “a man with a capital letter” that allowed the writer to defend the good name of his comrade.

This means that the concept of honor will not become obsolete. We can defend our honor and, of course, loved ones and relatives.

So A.S. Pushkin went to a duel with Dantes to defend the honor of his wife Natalia.

In Kuprin's "Duel", the main character, like Pushkin, defends the honor of his beloved in a duel with her husband. Death awaited this hero, but it is not meaningless.

I think the topic of this article is very relevant, since in the modern world many people have lost the line between honor and dishonor.

But as long as a person is alive, honor is also alive.

What is honor and why has it been so valued at all times? The folk wisdom speaks about it - "Take care of honor from the youth", it is sung by poets and philosophers reflect. For her they died in duels, and, having lost her, they considered life over. In any case, the concept of honor implies the pursuit of a moral ideal. This ideal can be created by a person for himself, or he can accept from society.

In the first case, in my opinion, this is a kind of inner honor, which includes such individual qualities of a person as courage, nobility, justice, honesty. These are the beliefs and principles that form the basis of human self-esteem. This is what he brings up and appreciates in himself. A person's honor delineates the scope of what a person can afford to himself, and what attitude he can accept from others. Man becomes his own judge. This is what constitutes human dignity, therefore it is important for a person himself not to betray any of his principles.

Another understanding of honor, I would correlate with the more modern concept of reputation - this is how a person shows himself to other people in communication and business. In this case, it is important not to “drop dignity” in the eyes of other people, because few people want to communicate with a rude person, do business with an unreliable person or help a heartless curmudgeon in need. However, a person may at the same time have bad character traits and simply try to hide them from others.

In any case, the loss of honor leads to negative consequences - either a person is disappointed in himself, or becomes an outcast in society. Honor, which I defined as reputation, has always been considered the business card of a person - both a man and a woman. And sometimes it hurt people. For example, when they were considered unworthy, although they were not to blame, but gossip and intrigue. Or rigid social boundaries. I have always had a surprisingly accepted condemnation in the Victorian era of a young woman who was filming mourning for her husband and wanted to start a new life.

The main thing I realized is that the word "honor" is related to the word "honesty." You need to be honest with yourself and people, be, and not seem to be a worthy person, and then you are not threatened with either condemnation or self-criticism.

Honor, duty, conscience - these concepts are now rarely found in people.

What it is?

Honor is my association with the army, with the officers who defend our Motherland, and also people who honor the blows of fate.

Duty is again our valiant defenders of the fatherland, who have a duty to protect us and our homeland, and any person can also have a duty, for example, to help the elderly or younger people if they are in trouble.

Conscience is something that lives inside every person.

There are people without conscience, this is when you can pass by grief, and not help, and nothing will torment you inside, but you can help, and then sleep peacefully.

These concepts are often related to each other. As a rule, these qualities are given to us during education.

An example from the literature: War and Peace, L. Tolstoy. Unfortunately, now these concepts are outdated, the world has changed. You rarely meet a person who has all these qualities.

After reading the story of A.S. Pushkin's "The Captain's Daughter", you understand that one of the themes of this work is the theme of honor and dishonor. In the story, two heroes are opposed: Grinev and Shvabrin - and their ideas about honor. These heroes are young, both are nobles. YES, and they do not fall into this backwater (Belogorskaya fortress) of their own free will. Grinev - at the insistence of his father, who decided that his son needed to "pull the strap, and sniff the powder ..." And Shvabrin ended up in the Belogorsk fortress, possibly because of the loud story associated with the duel. We know that for a nobleman, a duel is a way to defend his honor. And Shvabrin, at the beginning of the story, seems to be a man of honor. Although from the point of view of an ordinary person, Vasilisa Yegorovna, a duel is “murder”. Such an assessment allows the reader who sympathizes with this heroine to doubt the nobility of Shvabrin.

You can judge a person by his actions in difficult times. For the heroes, the challenge was the capture of the Belogorsk fortress by Pugachev. Shvabrin saves his life. We see him "trimmed in a circle, in a Cossack caftan, among the rebels." And during the execution, he whispers something in Pugachev's ear. Grinev is ready to share the fate of Captain Mironov. He refuses to kiss the hand of the impostor, because he is ready "to prefer a fierce execution to such humiliation ...".

They also treat Masha differently. Grinev admires, respects Masha, even writes poetry in her honor. Shvabrin, on the contrary, mixes the name of his beloved girl with mud, saying "if you want Masha Mironova to come to you at dusk, then instead of tender rhymes, give her a pair of earrings." Shvabrin slanders not only this girl, but also her relatives. For example, when he says “as if Ivan Ignatyich was in an impermissible connection with Vasilisa Yegorovna ..” It becomes clear that Shvabrin does not really love Masha. When Grinev rushed to free Marya Ivanovna, he saw her "pale, thin, with disheveled hair, in a peasant dress." The appearance of the girl eloquently speaks of what she had to endure through the fault of Shvabrin, who tortured her, held her in captivity and threatened to betray her all the time. to her rebels.

If we compare the main characters, Grinev will certainly evoke greater respect, because despite his youth he managed to behave with dignity, remained true to himself, did not disgrace the honest name of his father, defended his beloved.

Probably, all this allows us to call him a man of honor. Self-esteem helps our hero at the trial at the end of the story to calmly look into the eyes of Shvabrin, who, having lost everything, continues to fuss, trying to slander his enemy. Long ago, back in the fortress, he overstepped the boundaries defined by honor, wrote a letter - denunciation, to Grinev's father, trying to destroy the only incipient love. Having acted dishonestly once, he cannot stop, he becomes a traitor. And that is why Pushkin is right in saying “take care of honor from your youth” and making them an epigraph to the entire work.

In our time, it has become a shame to show mercy, compassion, sympathy. Now it is “cool”, under the approving hooting of the crowd, to hit the weak, kick the dog, insult the elderly person, get nasty at the passer-by, and so on. Any nastiness created by one bastard is perceived almost as a feat by the immature minds of adolescents.

We have ceased to feel, having cut ourselves off from the realities of life by our own indifference. We pretend that we do not see and do not hear. Today we pass the bully, swallow insults, and tomorrow we ourselves imperceptibly turn into shameless and dishonorable people.

Let's remember the past centuries. Duels with swords and pistols for insulting an honest name. Conscience and duty that guided the thoughts of the defenders of the Fatherland. Mass heroism of the people in the Great Patriotic War for trampling on the honor of the beloved Motherland by the enemy. No one shifted the unbearable burden of responsibility and duty onto the shoulders of another, so that it would be more comfortable for oneself.

If today you betrayed a friend, cheated on your loved one, "sat down" on a colleague, insulted a subordinate or deceived someone's trust, then do not be surprised if tomorrow the same will happen to you. Once abandoned and unnecessary, you will have a great chance to reconsider your attitude to life, to people, to your actions.

A bargain with conscience, covering up to a certain point dark deals, in the future can end very badly. There will always be someone more cunning, arrogant, dishonest and shameless, who, under the guise of false flattery, will push you into the abyss of collapse in order to take the place that you also took from another.

An honest person always feels free and self-confident. Acting according to his conscience, he does not burden his soul with vices. Greed, envy and irrepressible ambition are not inherent in him. He just lives and enjoys every day given to him from above.

There are many concepts of honor. For example, military honor, knightly honor, officer's honor, noble honor, honest merchant's word, working honor, maiden honor, professional honor. And then there is the honor of the school, the honor of the city, the honor of the country.

Some particular problematic questions that may be encountered in texts:

What is the essence of these types of honor?

What does it take to preserve honor from a young age?

Honor: Burden or Boon?

Can "the honor of the uniform" be tarnished?

What is a "field of honor"? What is being protected in this field?

What is the court of "cadet honor"? What could be his sentence?

Is the word "honor" modern today?

Petr Grinev. The story of A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter"

Honor, conscience and dignity for Pyotr Grinev, the main character of Alexander Pushkin's story "The Captain's Daughter", were the main principles of his life. He always remembered his father's order: "Take care of honor from a young age." Grinev dedicated love poems to Masha Mironova. When Alexei Shvabrin insulted Masha, telling Grinev that she was a girl of easy virtue, Peter challenged him to a duel. After the game with Zurin, Grinev had to repay the debt. When Savelich tried to stop him, Peter was rude to him. Soon he repented and asked for forgiveness from Savelich. During the oath to Pugachev, Pyotr Grinev did not recognize him as the sovereign, since he swore allegiance to the empress. Military duty and a human conscience for him are the most important thing in life.

Nikolay Rostov. Leo Tolstoy's novel "War and Peace"

In the Pavlograd regiment, the squadron commander Vasily Denisov lost his wallet. Nikolai Rostov realized that Officer Telyanin was dishonest. Rostov found him in a tavern and said that the money he was paying with belonged to Denisov. When Rostov heard Telyanin's plaintive, desperate words about old parents and his plea for forgiveness, he felt joy, and at the same moment he felt sorry for this man. Nikolai decided to give him this money. Rostov, in front of other officers, told the regimental commander Karl Bogdanovich Schubert about what had happened. The commander replied that he was lying. Rostov believed that it was necessary to challenge Bogdanych to a duel. During the discussion, the officers spoke about the honor of the Pavlograd regiment, that it was unacceptable "to disgrace the whole regiment because of one villain." Nikolai Rostov promised that no one would know about this case. Officer Telyanin was expelled from the regiment.

Andrey Bolkonsky. Leo Tolstoy's novel "War and Peace"

In 1805, the Austrian army under the command of General Mack (Mack) was defeated by Napoleon. Prince Andrey saw how Officer Zherkov decided to make fun of the Austrian generals - allies of Russia, telling them: "I have the honor to congratulate." "He bowed his head and ... began to scuffle with one foot or the other." Seeing this behavior of an officer of the Russian army, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky said excitedly: “You must understand that we are either officers who serve their tsar and fatherland and rejoice at the common success and grieve about the common failure, or we are lackeys who do not care about the master's business ... Forty thousand people died, and our allied army was destroyed, and you can joke at the same time. This is forgivable for an insignificant boy ... but not for you. "

Nikolay Pluzhnikov. B.L. Vasiliev's story "Was not on the lists"

The protagonist of Boris Vasiliev's story "Was not on the lists" is a representative of the generation that was the first to take the blow of the Nazis. B. Vasiliev gives the exact date of his birth: April 12, 1922. Lieutenant Nikolai Pluzhnikov arrived at the Brest Fortress on the eve of the war. He has not yet appeared in the unit's documents. He could continue to fight outside this terrible place, especially since in the first hours it was still possible to get into the city. Pluzhnikov did not even have such thoughts. And Nikolai starts the war. The Jewish girl Mirra, in her own words: "You are the Red Army," strengthens Pluzhnikov's confidence in his own strength, and now he will no longer turn from his path - the defender of his native land. He will become one of those who terrified the fascists from the "dark shooting dungeons". He will serve until his last breath. Nikolai Pluzhnikov is a Russian soldier who, with his staunchness and courage, aroused respect even from the enemy. When the lieutenant was leaving the catacombs, the German officer, as if on a parade, shouted the command, and the soldiers raised their weapons clearly. Enemies gave Nikolai Pluzhnikov the highest military honors.

First of all, these are not words, but actions. You can say a thousand times that you are honest, kind and noble, but in fact be a deceitful villain. Real honor rarely goes with high-flown speeches. You don't have to flaunt your good deeds to be a noble person. Honor does not require gratitude or recognition. People who have this quality in the first place help just like that, expecting nothing in return. A truly noble person does not pay attention to public opinion, but lives according to laws and conscience. For him, this is above all. Although, of course, the insult of honor was not left unanswered: earlier, conflicts associated with humiliation of dignity were resolved by a duel. And here public opinion already had some weight, but this was in the past and more often happened with young, impetuous people.

Very delicate and romantic natures. People who are older and more experienced, or simply possessing a cold and calculating mind, rarely found themselves in such situations, since they were guided by the wisdom of past years, and the disappointment with society that was affirmed in some souls forced them to take into account the opinions of others less and less. Of course, if they received a challenge, then, as noble personalities, they were obliged to accept it, otherwise the titles of cowards and scoundrels would have been assigned to them, but not a single person betrayed any meaning to the fight itself. All this concerns personal honor, but when the dignity of the weaker, woman, relatives was hurt, they defended it to the last drop of blood. But, as already said, this is all in the past. What is the real thing? Duels have long since passed away, and there are fewer and fewer principled and truthful people. What place does honor have in today's society? Perhaps nobility is still important today, although it is not easy to see it behind many masks. True, it may not always be, but triumphs. They also protect the weak, even to their own detriment. And to this day they look not only at the words of a person, but also at his deeds. And there remain those who follow the important rule expressed by the ancient Greek philosopher Theophrastus: "Do not get yourself honor by vanity, nor by the beauty of clothes or horses, nor adornment, but by courage and wisdom."

And what about dishonor? This is the complete opposite of everything noble. Unfortunately, there have been many people with impure thoughts at all times. The speech of dishonor is sweet, it easily draws you into its net. He has many faces, but the main ones are lies and betrayal. A dishonest person cannot be truthful. It is always accompanied by deception. Dishonest people will never help just like that, without benefit for themselves. They don't keep their promises. Fidelity to the word, to ideals means nothing to them. It so happens that dishonest people try to appear principled and noble. They speak beautiful speeches, create the appearance of good deeds, and at the first opportunity they themselves break all words and vows. Such individuals are inherently cowardly and insignificant. But a large number of them are dangerous. The dishonor is like a plague to be fought against.

Many books have been written about honor. Many great authors have been interested in this question. Who just wrote about him! This is one of the most numerous and important topics in literature. The question of honor has occupied people at all times.

The story of A.S. Pushkin's "The Captain's Daughter" is a work about honor and nobility. Many heroes are living embodiment of these qualities, but there are also those to whom they are alien. Pyotr Grinev is a young officer who came to serve in the Belogorsk fortress. Throughout the entire work, he grew spiritually and performed noble deeds. Grinev, despite the ban, challenged Shvabrin to a duel, defending the honor of Masha Mironova. The young man did not flinch when Pugachev came to the fortress. Grinev refused to go over to his side, despite the generous offers of high positions. It was not for nothing that the young man's father said: "Take care of your dress again, but honor from a young age." Grinev followed this commandment stoically and rigorously.

His antagonist is Shvabrin. He is selfish and selfish. This man spread false rumors about Masha Mironova only because he could not achieve her love. And then he kept the girl captive, forcing her to become his wife. Shvabrin, during the capture of the fortress, went over to Pugachev's side and in every possible way grovelled in front of him. By breaking the oath, the hero gives honor to the officer and shows his cowardice and his inability to be true to the once given word.

The poem by A.S. Pushkin raises the issue of honor in the episodes associated with the duel. Lensky, out of his ardor, challenges Onegin to a duel, offended by Eugene's behavior at the ball. The main character cannot refuse. The duel took place - the ending is tragic. Onegin acts, of course, dishonestly towards a friend, but nevertheless he does this not intentionally, but by accident, and strongly reproaches himself. Perhaps, had Lensky been less passionate, the tragedy could have been avoided.

As another example, I propose the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov's "A Hero of Our Time". Pechorin, the main character, an individualist who enjoys playing on the feelings of others, but nevertheless is honest in his own way. Knowing that the duel imposed on him was initially a losing one, he accepted it early, defending the honor of Princess Mary. Pechorin gives Grushnitsky the opportunity to abandon his words and end the fight, but he turns out to be too weak and insignificant to admit to deception and accept defeat.

So honor goes a long way. This is the nobility of man and his moral foundations. Society cannot exist without honest people. They are his support and support. Only with their help can society flourish. Therefore, it is very important that there are always people who have a moral code, live by conscience and thus make the world a better place.

• A person who has betrayed a loved one can be called dishonest.
• True personality traits are revealed in difficult life situations
• Sometimes acts that at first glance seem dishonest are necessary
• A man of honor will not betray his moral principles even in the face of death
• War brings out dishonorable people
• Acts of anger and envy are always dishonorable
• Honor must be defended
• A dishonest person sooner or later receives retribution for his actions.
• A person who betrayed his moral principles is dishonorable

Arguments

A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter". In the work we see two completely opposite characters: Pyotr Grinev and Alexei Shvabrin. For Petr Grinev, the concept of honor is key in making important decisions. He does not betray his principles even when he is threatened with execution: the hero refuses to swear allegiance to Pugachev. He decides to rescue Masha Mironova from the Belogorsk fortress, captured by the enemy, although this is very dangerous. When Pyotr Grinev is arrested, he tells the whole truth, but does not mention Marya Ivanovna, so as not to spoil her already unhappy life. Alexey Shvabrin is a cowardly person, capable of doing vile deeds, looking for more favorable conditions for himself. He takes revenge on Masha Mironova for refusing to marry him, at the first opportunity goes over to Pugachev's side, in a duel with Pyotr Grinev, he shoots in the back. All this suggests that he is a dishonest person.

A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin". Eugene Onegin does not perceive the letter from Tatyana Larina, telling about her feelings, as something serious. After the duel with Lensky, the hero leaves the village. Tatyana's feelings do not subside, she thinks about Eugene all the time. Time passes. At one of the secular evenings, Eugene Onegin appears, who is still alien to society. There he sees Tatiana. The hero explains to her, Tatiana also confesses her love for Onegin, but she cannot betray her husband. In this situation, Tatiana retains her honor and dignity, respecting not her own desires, but high moral principles.

A.S. Pushkin "Mozart and Salieri". The great composer Mozart was given a gift from above. Salieri is a hard worker who has achieved success through many years of work. Out of envy, Salieri decides on not only dishonest, but also inhuman act - he throws poison into Mozart's glass. Left alone, Salieri comprehends Mozart's words about the incompatibility of villainy and genius. He cries but does not repent. Salieri is glad that he did his duty.

L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace". Speaking of dishonor, it is impossible not to turn to the Kuragin family. All members of this family are immoral, devoted only to money, only outwardly seem to be patriots. Trying to get at least part of the inheritance of Pierre Bezukhov, Prince Vasily decides to marry him to his daughter Helene. She cheats on an honest, loyal, good-natured Pierre, without any remorse. Anatol Kuragin commits an equally disgusting act: being married, he attracts Natasha Rostova's attention and prepares an attempt to escape, which ends in failure. Reading the work, we understand that such dishonest people cannot be truly happy. Their successes are temporary. Heroes such as Pierre Bezukhov receive true happiness: moral, true to their word, truly loving the Motherland.

N.V. Gogol "Taras Bulba". Andriy, the son of Taras Bulba, betrays his father and his homeland: unable to resist the power of love for the Polish woman, he goes over to the side of the enemy and fights against those whom he recently considered comrades. Old Taras kills his son because he cannot forgive him for this dishonorable act. Ostap, the eldest son of Taras Bulba, shows himself in a completely different way. He fights with the enemy to the last, dies in terrible agony, but remains true to his moral principles.

A.N. Ostrovsky "Thunderstorm". Katerina, who grew up in an atmosphere of love and care, cannot live well with her weak-willed husband and wayward Kabanikha. The girl falls in love with Boris, this brings her both happiness and sorrow. Katerina's betrayal is a betrayal that she cannot survive as a moral person. The heroine decides to commit suicide, knowing that she has committed a grave sin, which the already terrible society will not forgive. It is unlikely that Katerina can be called a dishonest person, despite the act she committed.

M. Sholokhov "The Fate of Man". Andrei Sokolov, the protagonist of the work, is not without reason called a man of honor. His best moral qualities were revealed in the war, in the captivity of the Germans. The hero told the truth about the work of the prisoners. Someone denounced Andrei Sokolov, which is why Mueller summoned him. The German wanted to shoot the hero, but before his death he offered to drink "to the victory of German weapons." Andrei Sokolov is a person who is not capable of such a dishonorable act, so he refused. He drank for his death, but did not eat, showing the strength of the spirit of the Russian people. He also refused to eat after the second pile. Muller called Sokolov a worthy soldier and let him go back with bread and a piece of bacon. For Andrey Sokolov, it was a matter of honor to share the food among everyone, despite the fact that he himself was very hungry.

Many people like to use the word honor, not everyone is ready to defend it in our time. Cowardice causes dishonor, disrespect, indifference and laziness, makes us not defend our interests and the interests of people close to us.
Sometimes it seems to me that men defending their honor and the honor of their beloved have sunk with the times of the Middle Ages. It was at this time that the concept of honor was defended by men and were ready to give their lives for it.
But, to my great happiness, I can still watch men who will never allow them to be dishonored. This gives me hope that our world will be free of resentment, insults and disrespect.

Composition number 2 Honor and dishonor Complete for grade 11

It's nice to watch people who like to defend their honor, who are not afraid to express their point of view, and are true to their life principles. Honor allows you to be more confident in yourself, to understand what you need from life, what you are ready to fight for and what is really important to you.

There are things that many people think are more important than honor. Here is dishonor. Money can make people give up honor, money can make people offend, rude, betray. Many politicians do not defend the interests of the country, many men are not ready to defend their women. All this is a manifestation of dishonor, tactlessness and disrespect. Also, dishonor speaks of a person's lack of conscience. Now, in our time of stress and constant haste, you can easily insult a person, offend and show disrespect. It is important that such behavior does not go unpunished. It is important to educate children on the principles of upholding honor, their interests and the manifestation of respect. It is this kind of upbringing that can get rid of constant negativity, self-interest, impudence.

Such a concept as conscience is inextricably linked with honor. Conscientious people will not deceive, betray, offend and offend a person. Conscience allows you to reflect on your behavior and the consequences that may arise.

Raising such positive qualities as honor in a person begins with the atmosphere in the family. Just as parents did, their children will do. Therefore, it is extremely important to raise children in a family with a favorable climate, in a family where they protect the honor of the family, country and people close in spirit.

A person always decides for himself how to act according to his conscience, or choose the path of dishonor. His moral side is always responsible for his actions and behavior in various life situations.

Essay number 3 on the topic of honor and dishonor

Today, more than ever, such a concept as honor is important. This happens because now almost all young people are trying to lose this valuable quality and remain a dishonest person. Help, respect, adherence to principles are not appreciated today. Many do not try to preserve their honor from a young age, but it turns out that this is happening in vain.

Honor has been important at all times. Men considered it a duty of honor to defend their family and their homeland. Women cherished their honor for the sake of their beloved men. Children were brought up patriotically. Now all this has faded into the background. Now they beat dogs, insult old people and put it all on the Internet. However, it is worth stopping and thinking whether such actions are right. After all, it is better to be an honest and conscientious person than dishonest and unprincipled.

It is important to instill self-esteem in children from early childhood. It is important to teach children to respect other people and love their homeland. It is important to understand that an honest person's life is easier and easier. After all, when there is no burden in the soul from dishonest acts, one wants to do good, live happily and cheerfully, and not hide from society with a load of crimes. Therefore, I always choose honest deeds and conscientious decisions.
