Essay on honor and dishonor. Electronic textbooks on the Russian language Materials on the topic of honor and dishonor

In our cruel age, it seems that the concepts of honor and dishonor have died. There is no special need to preserve honor for girls - striptease and depravity pay dearly, and money is much more attractive than some ephemeral honor. I remember Knurov from “Dowry” by A.N. Ostrovsky:

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

Sometimes it seems that men have long ceased to dream of serving for the good of the Fatherland, protecting their honor and dignity, and defending the Motherland. Probably, literature remains the only evidence of the existence of these concepts.

A.S. Pushkin’s most cherished work begins with the epigraph: “Take care of your honor from a young age,” which is part of a Russian proverb. The entire novel Captain's daughter"gives us the best idea of ​​honor and dishonor. The main character, Petrusha Grinev, is a young man, practically a youth (at the time of his departure for service he was “eighteen” years old, according to his mother), but he is filled with such determination 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 this way. Life without honor for a nobleman is the same as death. But his opponent and envious Shvabrin acts completely differently. His decision to go over to Pugachev’s side is determined by 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 poor, life as a landowner and dies surrounded by his children and grandchildren. And the fate of Alexei Shvabrin is clear, although Pushkin does not say anything about it, but most likely death or hard labor will end this unworthy life of a traitor, a man who did not preserve his honor.

War is a catalyst for the most important human qualities, she shows either courage and courage, or meanness and cowardice. We can find proof of this in V. Bykov’s story “Sotnikov”. Two heroes are the moral poles of the story. The fisherman is energetic, strong, physically strong, but is he courageous? Having been captured, he betrays his partisan detachment under pain of death, betraying its location, weapons, strength - in short, everything, in order to eliminate this center of resistance to the fascists. But the frail, sickly, puny Sotnikov turns out to be courageous, endures torture, and resolutely ascends to the scaffold, not for a second doubting the correctness of his action. He knows that death is not as terrible as remorse from betrayal. At the end of the story, Rybak, who escaped death, tries to hang himself in the toilet, but cannot, because he does not find a suitable weapon (his belt was taken away 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 by historical memory Humanity still contains examples of actions based on honor and conscience. Will they become an example for my contemporaries? I think yes. The heroes who died in Syria, saving people in fires and disasters, prove that there is honor, dignity, and there are bearers of these noble qualities.

The concepts of honor and dignity express the spiritual connection of a person with society. “Honor is my life,” wrote Shakespeare, “they have grown into one, and to lose honor is for me the same as losing life.”

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 highest moral principles, respect, honor, and recognition of others’ victories. For others it is “land, cattle, sheep, bread, commerce, profit - this is life!” For me, honor and dignity are 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.

Nowadays, it seems that the concepts of “honor and dignity” are outdated, having lost their original, true meanings. But earlier, in the times of valiant knights and beautiful ladies, they preferred to give up their lives rather than lose honor. And it was customary to defend one’s dignity, the dignity of one’s loved ones and simply dear people 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 corners of Russia,” he said. The favorite heroes of Russian literature were people of honor. Let us remember what advice the hero of the story “The Captain's Daughter” receives from his father: “Take care of your honor from a young age.” The father did not want his son to become a secular reveler and therefore sent him to serve in a distant garrison. 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 befell him, and never once lost his dignity, did not compromise his conscience, although there were plenty of opportunities, there was peace in his soul.

“Honor is like a precious stone: the slightest spot deprives it of its shine and takes away all its value,” Edmond Pierre Beauchaine once said. Yes, this is indeed true. And everyone, sooner or later, will have to decide how to live - with honor or without it.

Each newborn is given a name. Along with a name, a person receives the history of his family, the memory of generations and an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bhonor. Sometimes a name obliges you to be worthy of your origin. Sometimes, through your actions, you have to wash away and correct the negative memory of your family. How not to lose your dignity? How to protect yourself in the face of emerging danger? It is very difficult to be prepared for such a test. You can find many similar examples in Russian literature.

In the story by Viktor Petrovich Astafiev “Lyudochka” there is a narration about the fate of a young girl, yesterday’s schoolgirl, who came to the city in search of better life. Having grown up in the family of a hereditary alcoholic, like frozen grass, she tries all her life to preserve her honor, some kind of feminine dignity, tries to work honestly, build relationships with the people around her, without insulting anyone, pleasing everyone, but keeping her at a distance. And people respect her. Her landlady Gavrilovna respects her for her reliability and hard work, poor Artyomka respects her for her rigor and morality, she respects her in her own way, but for some reason her stepfather is silent about it. Everyone sees her as a person. However, on her way she meets a disgusting type, a criminal and a scumbag - Strekach. The person is not important to him, his lust is above all. The betrayal of Artyomka’s “friend-boyfriend” turns into a terrible ending for Lyudochka. And the girl is left alone with her grief. For Gavrilovna there is no particular problem with this:

Well, they tore off the plonba, just think, what a disaster. Nowadays this is not a flaw, but now they marry just anyone, ugh now about these things...

The mother generally moves away and pretends that nothing happened: the adult, they say, let her get out of it herself. Artemka and “friends” invite you to spend time together. But Lyudochka does not want to live like this, with her honor soiled and trampled. Seeing no way out of this situation, she decides not to live at all. In her last note she asks for forgiveness:

Gavrilovna! Mother! Stepfather! I didn’t ask what your name is. Good people, forgive me!

In the epic novel " Quiet Don» Sholokhov, each heroine has her own idea of ​​honor. Daria Melekhova lives only in the flesh, the author says little about her soul, and the characters in the novel generally do not perceive Daria without this base principle. Her adventures both during her husband’s life and after his death show that honor does not exist for her at all; she is ready to seduce her own father-in-law just to satisfy her desire. I feel sorry for her, because a person who lived his life so mediocrely and vulgarly, who did not leave any good memory of himself, is insignificant. Daria remained the embodiment of the base, lustful, dishonest female insides.

Honor is important for every person in our world. But especially the honor of women, maidenhood remains a calling card and always attracts special attention. And let them say that in our time morality is an empty phrase, that “they will marry just anyone” (in Gavrilovna’s words), what is important is 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 and will come first.

In his article D. Granin talks about the existence in modern world 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 obsolete, since it is given to a person from birth.

To support his position, Granin cites an incident related to Maxim Gorky. When the tsarist government annulled the writer's election to honorary academicians, Chekhov and Korolenko refused 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 “man with a capital M” that allowed the writer to protect 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, our loved ones and relatives.

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

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

I believe 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 lives, honor lives.

What is honor and why has it been so valued at all times? He talks about her folk wisdom– “Take care of your honor from a young age,” poets sing it and philosophers reflect on it. They died in duels for her, and, having lost her, they considered their life over. In any case, the concept of honor contains the desire for moral ideal. This ideal can be created by a person for himself, or he can accept it from society.

In the first case, in my opinion, this is a kind of internal honor, which includes such individual qualities a person as courage, nobility, justice, honesty. These are the beliefs and principles that form the basis of a person's self-esteem. This is what he cultivates and values ​​in himself. A person's honor outlines the limits of what a person can allow himself and what kind of attitude he can tolerate from others. A person becomes his own judge. This is what constitutes human dignity Therefore, it is important for a person not to betray any of his principles.

I would correlate another understanding of honor 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 “lose your dignity” in the eyes of other people, because few people will want to communicate with a rude person, do business with an unreliable person, or help a heartless miser in need. However, a person may also 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 becomes disappointed in himself or becomes an outcast in society. Honor, which I defined as reputation, has always been considered the calling card of a person - both men and women. And sometimes it hurt people. For example, when they were considered unworthy, although it was not they who were to blame, but gossip and intrigue. Or rigid social boundaries. I have always found it surprising that the Victorian era condemned a young woman who was in 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, to be, and not seem to be, a worthy person, and then you will not face either condemnation or self-criticism.

Honor, duty, conscience - these concepts are now rarely seen among people.

What it is?

Honor is an association I have with the army, with the officers who defend our Motherland, and also with the people who withstand the “blows of fate” with honor.

Duty is again our valiant defenders of the fatherland, who have a duty to protect us and our Motherland, and any person can also have a duty, for example, to help older people or younger ones 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.

Often these concepts are related to each other. As a rule, these qualities are given to us during our upbringing.

Example from literature: War and Peace, L. Tolstoy. Unfortunately, these concepts are now outdated, the world has changed. It is rare to meet a person who has all these qualities.

After reading the story by 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. The story contrasts two heroes: Grinev and Shvabrin - and their ideas about honor. These heroes are young, both of them are nobles. YES, they end up in this outback (Belogorsk Fortress) not of their own free will. Grinev - at the insistence of his father, who decided that his son needed to “pull the strap and smell the gunpowder...” And Shvabrin ended up in the Belogorsk fortress, perhaps because of the high-profile story associated with the duel. We know that for a nobleman a duel is a way to defend honor. And Shvabrin, at the beginning of the story, seems to be a man of honor. Although from the point of view common man, Vasilisa Egorovna, a duel is “murder.” This assessment allows the reader who sympathizes with this heroine to doubt Shvabrin’s nobility.

You can judge a person by his actions in difficult times. For the heroes, the challenge was the capture Belogorsk fortress Pugachev. Shvabrin saves his life. We see him “with his hair cut 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 impostor’s hand because he is ready to “prefer a cruel execution to such humiliation...”.

They also treat Masha differently. Grinev admires and respects Masha, even writes poetry in her honor. Shvabrin, on the contrary, confuses the name of his beloved girl with dirt, saying “if you want Masha Mironova to come to you at dusk, then instead of tender poems, give her a pair of earrings.” Shvabrin slanderes not only this girl, but also her relatives. For example, when he says “as if Ivan Ignatich was in an inappropriate relationship with Vasilisa Egorovna..” It becomes clear that Shvabrin actually does not love Masha. When Grinev rushed to free Marya Ivanovna, he saw her “pale, thin, with disheveled hair, in a peasant dress.” The girl’s appearance eloquently speaks of what she had to endure due to the fault of Shvabrin, who tortured her, kept her in captivity and constantly threatened to extradite her her rebels.

If we compare the main characters, Grinev will certainly command more respect, because despite his youth he managed to behave with dignity, remained true to himself, did not disgrace his father’s honorable name, and defended his beloved.

Perhaps 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, while still in the fortress, he crossed the boundaries defined by honor, wrote a letter - a denunciation - to Grinev's father, trying to destroy the newly born love. Having acted dishonestly once, he cannot stop and becomes a traitor. And therefore Pushkin is right when he says “take care of honor from a young age” and makes them an epigraph to the entire work.

Nowadays, it has become a shame to show mercy, compassion, empathy. Nowadays it’s “cool”, to the approving hooting of the crowd, to hit a weak person, kick a dog, insult an elderly person, be rude to a passerby, and so on. Any nasty thing created by one scumbag is perceived as almost a feat by the fragile minds of teenagers.

We have stopped feeling, having isolated ourselves from the realities of life with our own indifference. We pretend that we don’t see or hear. Today we pass by a bully, swallow insults, and tomorrow we ourselves quietly turn into unscrupulous and dishonest people.

Let's remember past centuries. Duels with swords and pistols for insulting one's honorable 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 the enemy’s trampling of the honor of their beloved Motherland. No one shifted the unbearable burden of responsibility and duty onto the shoulders of another to make himself more comfortable.

If today you betrayed a friend, cheated on a loved one, cheated on a colleague, insulted a subordinate, or betrayed someone’s trust, then don’t be surprised if tomorrow the same thing happens to you. Finding yourself abandoned and unwanted, you will have a great chance to reconsider your attitude towards life, towards people, towards your actions.

A deal with conscience that covers up shady dealings up to a certain point can end very badly in the future. There will always be someone more cunning, arrogant, dishonest and unscrupulous, who, under the guise of false flattery, will push you into the abyss of ruin in order to take the place that you also took from another.

An honest person always feels free and confident. Acting according to his conscience, he does not burden his soul with vices. He is not characterized by greed, envy and irrepressible ambitions. He simply lives and enjoys every day given to him from above.

A verified final essay on the topic “If a person has committed a dishonest act, then he is dishonest to the end” in the direction of “Honor and Dishonor”

Introduction (intro):

Of course, each person understands differently This statement. Dishonor - This negative trait a person characterized by meanness, deceit, betrayal, deceit. Honor, on the contrary, combines such qualities as loyalty and devotion. Honor always opposes dishonor, in all centuries people fight for truth and justice. If You stumbled and committed a dishonest act, then, alas, you will no longer be able to possess such qualities as loyalty to your word, nobility, and decency.

A comment: repetitions are one of the most common mistakes. To avoid them, you need to re-read the essay several times and replace words repeated in two adjacent sentences with pronouns, lexical or contextual synonyms (or synonymous expressions). It is also important to ensure that there are no cognate words in adjacent sentences.

"If You stumbled and committed a dishonest act...” - it is better not to use the pronoun “YOU” when writing an essay. This is only allowed in colloquial speech. Instead of “you” you can write “we”, “people”, “person”, etc.


"If Human stumbled and committed a dishonorable act, then, alas, to him It will no longer be possible to possess such qualities as fidelity to one’s word, nobility, and decency.”

The thesis, of course, corresponds to the topic, but there are two nuances:

The thesis needs to be emphasized, using introductory words that indicate that this is your opinion (“I think”, “it seems to me”, “in my opinion”, “I am sure”, etc.) Writing a thesis is not enough , it is important to convey to the inspector how you came to such a conclusion. In the introductory part you wrote down the meanings key concepts, but did not tie it to the thesis in any way. Most likely, you would have failed the first criterion, because... the topic is not disclosed. To correct this, you need to answer the question: “why is someone who has committed a dishonest act dishonest to the end?” You can write your thoughts on this issue before the thesis.

Argument 1:


Reflecting on the topic of “dishonor,” I cannot help but turn to Vasily Bykov’s work “Sotnikov.” This work is about two partisans who were captured. walking (ugly word, try replacing it) for food for their comrades, each of the heroes reacts differently to the upcoming danger. The fisherman is serious, ready for any difficulties, unlike the weak, frail, sick Sotnikov. Having hit to the police, them the paths diverge (speech error, it turns out that the police got into the path). They are about to be interrogated. Sotnikov went first. He was silent and did not tell the investigator anything. Humiliation and torture did not force Sotnikov to betray his homeland, his squad. After which he faced execution. However, Rybak during interrogation acted the opposite(speech error, they don’t say that. The opposite can be something: shore, reaction, behavior. But you can’t behave in the opposite way) to your comrade. He answered the investigator's questions in detail, was polite, and clung to every opportunity to escape. To which the investigator offered to become one of them. The fisherman was glad that there was a chance for freedom. He committed the worst and most dishonest thing. It turned out to be more difficult and painful for the fisherman to stay alive. He understood that he had made huge mistakes by killing his friend and going over to the wrong side, thereby losing his honor and gaining dishonor forever.

A comment: the argument is unconvincing. It is clear that Rybak committed a dishonorable act, but why did he become dishonored forever? How is it shown?


Thus, this argument does not support the thesis.

Argument 2:

Valentin Rasputin’s work “Live and Remember” can also be cited as proof. This work is about Andrei Guskov, who, along with the entire male part of the village, was sent to war. He fought well and fulfilled all his duties conscientiously. At the end of the war, Andrei, having been wounded, ends up in the hospital. Guskov wanted to return at least for a while home, at least for one day. He was sure that he would be sent from the hospital home, but that did not happen. And now Andrey returns home ahead of schedule, returns not as a hero, but as a deserter. Desertion is betrayal. Nastena, Andrei's wife, can't parts husband(?), but she tried, helped as much as she could. Her strength is Love and faith, but because of the love for bad person she herself suffers. Andrei did not want to live further, he saw no point in further life and the only way out was death. Andrei Guskov’s act serves as an example of a dishonest act.

In our cruel age, it seems that the concepts of honor and dishonor have died. There is no special need to preserve honor for girls - striptease and depravity pay dearly, and money is much more attractive than some ephemeral honor. I remember Knurov from “Dowry” by A.N. Ostrovsky:

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

Sometimes it seems that men have long ceased to dream of serving for the good of the Fatherland, protecting their honor and dignity, and defending the Motherland. Probably, literature remains the only evidence of the existence of these concepts.

A.S. Pushkin’s most cherished work begins with the epigraph: “Take care of your honor from a young age,” which is part of a Russian proverb.

And the fate of Alexei Shvabrin is clear, although Pushkin does not say anything about it, but most likely death or hard labor will end this unworthy life of a traitor, a man who did not preserve 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”.

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

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

Long ago, while still in the fortress, he crossed the boundaries defined by honor, wrote a letter - a denunciation - to Grinev's father, trying to destroy the newly born love. Having acted dishonestly once, he cannot stop and becomes a traitor. And therefore Pushkin is right when he says “take care of honor from a young age” and makes them an epigraph to the entire work.

Concepts such as “honor” and “conscience” have somehow lost their relevance in the modern world of indifference and a cynical attitude towards life.

If previously it was a shame to be considered an unscrupulous person, today such a “compliment” is taken lightly and even with bravado. Pangs of conscience - today this is something from the realm of melodrama and is perceived as a movie plot, that is, the audience is indignant, and at the end of the film they go and, for example, steal apples from someone else's orchard.

Nowadays, it has become a shame to show mercy, compassion, empathy. Nowadays it’s “cool”, to the approving hooting of the crowd, to hit a weak person, kick a dog, insult an elderly person, be rude to a passerby, and so on. Any nasty thing created by one scumbag is perceived as almost a feat by the fragile minds of teenagers.

We have stopped feeling, having isolated ourselves from the realities of life with our own indifference. We pretend that we don’t see or hear. Today we pass by a bully, swallow insults, and tomorrow we ourselves quietly turn into unscrupulous and dishonest people.

Let's remember past centuries. Duels with swords and pistols for insulting one's honorable 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 the enemy’s trampling of the honor of their beloved Motherland. No one shifted the unbearable burden of responsibility and duty onto the shoulders of another to make himself more comfortable.

Honor and conscience are the most important and valuable qualities of the human soul.

A dishonest person can go through life without feeling pangs of conscience for his actions. There will always be sycophants and hypocrites scurrying around, extolling his imaginary merits. But none of them will lend him a helping hand in difficult times.

An unscrupulous person will not spare anyone on his ambitious path to achieve his goals. Neither devoted friendship, nor love for the Motherland, nor compassion, nor mercy, nor human kindness are inherent in such a person.

Each of us wants respect and attention from others. But only when we ourselves become more tolerant, more restrained, more tolerant and kinder, will we have the moral right to respond to the manifestation of the listed qualities.

If today you betrayed a friend, cheated on a loved one, cheated on a colleague, insulted a subordinate, or betrayed someone’s trust, then don’t be surprised if tomorrow the same thing happens to you. Finding yourself abandoned and unwanted, you will have a great chance to reconsider your attitude towards life, towards people, towards your actions.

A deal with conscience that covers up shady dealings up to a certain point can end very badly in the future. There will always be someone more cunning, arrogant, dishonest and unscrupulous, who, under the guise of false flattery, will push you into the abyss of ruin in order to take the place that you also took from another.

An honest person always feels free and confident. Acting according to his conscience, he does not burden his soul with vices. He is not characterized by greed, envy and irrepressible ambitions. He simply lives and enjoys every day given to him from above.

Road of honor

What is honor and where does its path lead? What qualities do people who walk the path of honor have? I'll try to answer these questions. I think honor is a way of life based on conscientiousness, nobility, truthfulness and courage. I think that if a child absorbs these qualities from the cradle, then his life will go on the right path.

It was along this road that the hero of Alexander Pushkin’s story “The Captain’s Daughter” Pyotr Grinev walked. Seeing him off to military service, the elder Grinev asks his son to take care of his honor. The young man, strictly following his father’s behest, serves his homeland, courageously defending the Belogorsk fortress. Arriving at his place of service in the Orenburg province, the young man meets the family of Captain Mironov. The commander of the fortress himself, his wife and their daughter Masha, whom he really liked, warmly welcome Grinev. Peter begins to be friends with officer Shvabrin, demoted for a bloody duel, who says various unpleasant things about Masha Mironova behind her back. It soon turns out that Shvabrin himself is in love with the girl. The officer is overcome by intense jealousy and envy of his luckier rival. Shvabrin harshly criticizes the poems written by Peter for Masha and insults her honor, hinting at the girl’s corruption. In this act, I think, Shvabrin’s true face begins to appear. He appears before us in the image of a dishonest, deceitful and envious man who has no idea of ​​honor. As a noble and honest man, Grinev could not tolerate such an insult, so he challenged his opponent to a duel, which, fortunately, ended only with a slight injury to the insulted young man. The further capture of the Belogorsk fortress by Pugachev’s detachment once again showed true faces heroes of the story. Neither Captain Mironov, nor his assistant, nor Grinev himself wanted to swear allegiance to the false emperor, so they were sentenced to execution. They were faithful to their duty of honor to the end. Peter was saved from the gallows only by the fact that Pugachev recognized him as his benefactor, who had once mercifully given him a sheepskin coat. But Shvabrin, on the contrary, treacherously goes over to the side of the enemy, he is even appointed chief of the fortress. In Grinev's absence, Shvabrin tortures Masha, trying to force her to marry him. Having learned about this, Peter, despite the danger, rushes from distant Orenburg to save his beloved. His conscience and respect for the memory of the deceased captain of the fortress do not allow him to do otherwise. I think that it was precisely for his nobility, honesty and courage that Grinev received the best that can be for a person: happiness, mutual love and an untainted conscience. Shvabrin, for his cowardice, lies, hypocrisy and dishonor, was subjected to strict trial.

Comparing life path these two heroes, you involuntarily come to the conclusion that the image of Grinev walking the road of honor can serve as an excellent example to follow.

“A SATISFIED MAN” (prose poem) A young man is skipping along the streets of the capital. His movements are cheerful, brisk; the eyes are shining, the lips are grinning, the tender face is pleasantly red... He is all contentment and joy. What happened to him? Did he get an inheritance? Has he been promoted? Is he in a hurry for a love date? Or did he simply have a good breakfast - and a feeling of health, a feeling of well-fed strength surged through all his limbs? Wouldn’t they have placed your beautiful octagonal cross on his neck, O Polish King Stanislaw! No. He composed a slander against an acquaintance, spread it carefully, heard it, this same slander, from the lips of another acquaintance - and

Moral meanness and dishonor

"Satisfied man"

Does harm to others

  • Honor(composed slander)
  • "promising man"
  • HONOR -...HONOR

- this is that high spiritual power that keeps a person from meanness, betrayal, lies and cowardice. This is the core that strengthens the individual in choosing an action; this is a situation where conscience is the judge.

Life often tests people, presenting them with a choice - to act honorably and take the blow or be cowardly and go against their conscience in order to gain benefit and avoid troubles, possibly death.

A person always has a choice, and how he will act depends on his moral principles. The path of honor is difficult, but retreat from it, the loss of honor is even more painful.

Honor or dishonor?

  • Being a social, rational and conscious being, a person cannot help but think about how others treat him, what they think about him, what assessments are given to his actions and his entire life. At the same time, he cannot help but think about his place among other people. This spiritual connection between a person and society is expressed in the concepts of Honor and Dignity.
  • “Honor is my life,” wrote Shakespeare, “they have grown into one, and to lose honor is for me the same as losing life.”
  • Possible topic formulations:
  • Take care of your honor from a young age...
  • Can honor resist dishonor?
  • Do you agree with P. Corneille’s statement “We have no right to live when honor has perished”?
  • Are there people of honor these days?
Is it easy to live without honor and conscience?

The strong are not the best, but the honest ones. Honor and self-esteem are the strongest.

(F. M. Dostoevsky)

Honor cannot be taken away, it can be lost. (A.P. Chekhov)

Our honor lies in following the best and improving the worst... (Plato)

Honor is external conscience, and conscience is internal honor. (Arthur Schopenhauer)

Dishonor

To deprive another of his honor is to deprive him of his own.

I will endure injustice, but not dishonor.

Honor is more valuable than life.

Schiller F.

The one who betrayed love and who left the battle carries with him equal dishonor.

Corneille Pierre

The one who betrayed love and who left the battle carries with him equal dishonor.

I agree to endure any misfortune, But I will not agree for my honor to suffer.

Every dishonesty is a step towards dishonor.

V. Sinyavsky

True honor cannot tolerate untruth.

Shamelessness is the soul's tolerance for dishonor in the name of profit.

Plato

Honor is the reward given for virtue... Aristotle

Honor from the dishonest is also dishonor.

Publius Syrus

Honor is the diamond on the hand of virtue.

Voltaire

A dishonest person is ready for a dishonest deed.

Proverb

Spring of honor, our idol!

And this is what the world revolves on!

(A.S. Pushkin) The direction is based on polar concepts associated with a person’s choice: to be faithful to the voice of conscience, to follow moral principles, or to follow the path of betrayal, lies and hypocrisy. Many writers focused their attention on depicting various manifestations of man: from loyalty to moral rules to various forms of compromise with conscience, up to deep moral failure

Introduction, based on FIPI comments to the direction

Honor... Dishonor... Life and society set before every person

: live as your conscience dictates, follow moral principles or follow the path of dishonor, achieve everything in life through betrayal, lies and hypocrisy. ….

I think that... Undoubtedly... It seems to me that... In my opinion, ….

Many writers focused their attention on depicting various manifestations of man: from loyalty to moral rules to various forms of compromise with conscience, up to deep moral failure. So, …

A.S. Pushkin, the “slave of honor,” defending the honor of his wife and his own honor, challenged Dantes to a duel, because “slandered by rumors” could not live and put an end to the dishonor at the cost of his own life. M.Yu. Lermontov also fell victim to dishonest and evil envious people.

In many works of literature, honor is a measure of the humanity and decency of the heroes.

Honor as the embodiment of the hero's spiritual strength Honor as the embodiment of the hero's spiritual strength

Family honor is a category of folk morality. The defender of popular ideas about honor and dignity is the merchant Kalashnikov in the famous “Song about the Merchant Kalashnikov...” M.Yu. Lermontov. Having based the plot on a real event, Lermontov fills it with deep moral meaning. Kalashnikov comes out to fight “for the holy mother truth”, for family values, for the honor of his wife. The image of the merchant Kalashnikov is close to the people's ideal. Just like the heroes of folk epics, Stepan fights for honor and justice, defends eternal values.

Honor as the embodiment of the hero's spiritual strength

« But your honor is my guarantee, and I boldly entrust myself to her“, - lines from Tatyana Larina’s letter from the novel by A.S. Pushkin’s “Eugene Onegin,” which concludes a declaration of love, not only expresses the young girl’s hope for the decency and dignity of her chosen one. They also convey faith that the honor of the heroine herself will not be violated.

For Larina, the concept of honor and moral purity is the basis of her worldview. Guided by her idea of ​​duty, she remains faithful to her husband, rejecting Onegin’s love. It is possible to sacrifice love, but not to sacrifice honor.

Honor as the embodiment of the spiritual strength of the hero Antithesis honor-dishonor in 20th century literature

(V. Bykov “Sotnikov”).

The literature about the Great Patriotic War does not shy away from the problem of preserving honor. Patriotic War. Become a coward, dishonor yourself with betrayal and continue to live with it - this is the choice Rybak makes. He agrees to serve as a policeman, knocks the support from under the feet of his former fellow soldier and becomes the executioner of the one with whom he fought shoulder to shoulder just yesterday. He remains to live and suddenly catches a look full of hatred. Hatred towards him, a coward and a traitor, a dishonest person. Now he is an enemy - both for people and for himself too... Fate deprives Rybak of the opportunity to commit suicide, he will live with his stigma of dishonor.

Dishonor, in my opinion, is…………….. Let us remember …………….. The writer draws ………………….. By asking a series of rhetorical questions, the author tries to understand the reason ………………………… The answer amazes us: ………… Understand the author’s position Irony allows us ……………………………. Reading this work, I remember the words….(proverb)…. + micro-output. Let us recall the prose poem by I. S. Turgenev “The Contented Man.” The writer draws young man which is all contentment and joy. By asking a series of rhetorical questions, the author tries to understand the reason for this mood. The answer amazes us: the hero is pleased that he composed a slander about another. Bitter irony allows us to understand the author’s position: “a promising young man.” Reading this work, I remember the words of Publius Sirus: “To deprive another of the honor is to deprive one of your own.” Turgenev's hero, I think, dishonored himself first of all.

So, in conclusion, I would like to say that………………. I think that ………………………………. At the end I would like to remember the lines …………………..

So, in conclusion, I want to say that each of us will go our own way in life, each has our own path, full of ups and downs. And yet, I think that the main thing for a person is to be honest both to himself and to others. In the end, I would like to recall the lines of A. S. Pushkin:

Spring of honor, our idol!

And this is what the world revolves on!

Perhaps honor is a heavy burden for everyone, and only strong personality, brought up in honesty and morality. Of course, everyone chooses for himself whether to follow the path of honor or live without it, omitting all unnecessary moral prejudices and pangs of conscience. However, it becomes sad at the moment when such a concept as “honor” is not initially included in a person’s upbringing, because in the future it becomes a tragedy for an entire society. After all, moral decay, the fall of moral principles leads to the collapse of both an individual and an entire nation.
