code of honor
A "code of honor" is a set of principles or ethical guidelines that individuals or groups agree to follow. It often emphasizes values such as integrity, respect, loyalty, and accountability. These codes can be found in various contexts, including military organizations, sports teams, and professional associations, guiding behavior and decision-making.
In many cultures, a code of honor serves to foster trust and cooperation among members. For example, in martial arts, practitioners may adhere to a code that promotes discipline and respect for others. Similarly, fraternities and sororities often have their own codes to maintain a sense of community and shared values.
