Loyalty and honor, then and now.

Loyalty and honor, then and now.


The values of loyalty and honor lay at the heart of the feudal system. The king demanded loyalty from his barons, and these lords expected loyalty from their vassals, knights, and serfs. In turn, those who honorable met their obligation expected certain rewards and protections. Have loyalty and honor remained as important in today's society? To what and whom are people loyal today? What codes of honor do we live by today? Write a brief response to these questions about loyalty and honor then and now.

Loyalty and Honor have still been important till this day because we all show it to people we know and trust.
We are loyal to people from school, work, home, and maybe sometimes on the streets. Honor shows that we have beliefs to accomplish something that seems important. We show honor to people that risked their lives to save ours, and people that show integrity to others. Thats how I see Loyalty and Honor.

I think that loyalty and honor have not really remained in our society today because we all aren't always loyal to others or in relationships. With honor their isnt much respect for one another nor honesty,fairness because society has changed so much. People are most loyal to their families because its the closest things we have the people you were with your whole life or known for a while. The codes we live by now is basically to be true to eachother be kind always be honest and grateful for the chances you have in life.

Loyalty and honor are some what the same not that much from back then because of the fact people fought with honor and people now have honor but they don't fight to death. Being loyalty back then ment to faithful not to be cheating and now people don't even take things seriously any more

Loyalty and Honor are very different from now and back then because of the fact that back then they used to fight with honor and by honor i mean fight to the death. And now they don't care at all.

I feel like there still is loyalty and honor in today's society, but it is only shown by very few people. Not everyone is loyal to others. They way we show loyalty is to our families and our significant others. We prove to them that they can have faith in us as that we will always be there. We don't have many honorable people in our lives except for our teachers and soldiers. Our teachers try their hardest to put a lot of knowledge into our brains and work hard to give us a great education so we can take that with us out to the world. & if the soldiers weren't out there in different areas if the world protections us, we wouldn't have a chance in life. We aren't the ones giving them honor, they are the ones showing it.

loyalty and honor is sometimes shown in today's world because not all people and loyal and not all people have honor because there is people today who are willing to be your friend in your face but will stab you in the back when your not around. People who have no honor are people who are willing to take the bad route of life and are willing to do bad things in life and have no pride in doing what's right in life.
