The moral choice of a person is honor and dishonor. Our sample: an essay in the direction of "Honor and dishonor

Everyone knows that the problem of honor and dishonor is a key issue in the life of every person. A large number of books have been written on this topic, many films have been shot. Experienced adults and adolescents who are not fully familiar with life talk about it.

What is dishonor? Disgrace is a kind of insult, literally a loss of honor under any circumstances, a shame.

This topic was really important throughout the entire life of a person and does not lose its relevance in the modern world. Therefore, many writers have addressed this problem in their works.

"The Captain's Daughter", A.S. Pushkin

The problem raised is the key in this work of Alexander Sergeevich. In his opinion, dishonor is what should be most feared. The personification of piety in the novel is Grinev and his entire family, as well as his beloved and her relatives. Shvabrin is sharply opposed to him. This is the absolute opposite of Grinev. Even the character's surname is speaking. Shvabrin is a terrible egoist who lost his officer's honor, having gone over to Pugachev.

"Song about the merchant Kalashnikov", M.Yu. Lermontov

Mikhail Yurievich takes the reader back to the reign of Ivan IV, famous for the introduction of the oprichnina. The guardsmen, loyal subjects of the king, were so loved by him that they could afford any action and go unpunished. So, the oprichnik Kiribeyevich dishonored the married woman Alena Dmitrievna, and her husband, having learned about this, decided to go to certain death, but return honor to his wife, challenging Kiribeevich to battle. By this, the merchant Kalashnikov showed himself to be a pious man, a husband who would do anything for the sake of honor, even to his own death.

And Kiribeevich distinguished himself only by cowardice, because he could not even admit to the tsar that the woman was married.

The song helps answer the reader's question about what dishonor is. First of all, this is cowardice.

"Thunderstorm", A.N. Ostrovsky

Katerina, the main character of the drama, was brought up in a pure, light atmosphere of kindness and affection. Therefore, when she got married, she believed that her life would be the same. But Katerina found herself in a world where completely different orders and foundations rule, and Kabanikha is watching all this - a true tyrant and a bigot. Katerina could not withstand the onslaught and only found consolation in Boris's love. But she, a believer, could not cheat on her husband. And the girl decided that the best way out for her was suicide. Thus, Katerina understood that dishonor is already a sin. And there is nothing worse than him.

For many centuries there was a struggle: honor and dishonor fought in one person. And only a bright and pure soul could make the right choice, these vices were tried to show the Russian classics in their immortal works.

The choice between honor and dishonor sooner or later arises in every person. We find ourselves in a situation where a fork appears in front of us: one road is straight, the other is a curve, but straight. We understand that the second option will bring us to our goal much easier and faster, but the first will allow us to preserve our dignity and good name. Many people choose what is least difficult because they do not have the moral strength to pursue their own honesty. However, there are those who will never sacrifice virtue. A difficult choice situation is a good way to test a person's worth. When does it arise and how do you recognize it?

To answer this question, let us turn to fiction. In Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina, the heroine falls in love with the handsome Vronsky, although she is a married woman and an exemplary mother. She never loved her husband, since the difference in age and interests did not allow them to get closer, so she can be understood. The young officer soon achieves reciprocity, he and Anna become lovers. Obviously, the heroes had to choose between honor and dishonor when they realized they were in love. An honest path for them did not initially exist, because divorce in those days was already considered a dishonor. How to proceed? Betray love? Cheat your spouse? So they didn't know the answer. And no one knows exactly how they will behave in such a situation. You cannot accept the fact that you need to live a life without love, but betrayal is not a way out of the situation. In the literature, this is called "collision" (insoluble conflict), and then a difficult choice arises, because there is no direct road, and the boundaries between honor and dishonor are erased.

In Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment" was also touched upon. Sonya Marmeladova is forced to feed her family, as her father drinks all the money, and her stepmother is sick with consumption. She had to get a yellow ticket. From that moment on, the girl parted with honor, trampling on her human dignity. But before us is again a collision: it has no other choice. Either the whole family dies of starvation, or Sonya sacrifices herself for their lives. It cannot be said that she went this way for the sake of money or was by nature depraved. The vice did not even touch her on the panel. But in a situation of extreme need, the heroine did not value her good name too highly, because the life of the family was on the other side of the scale. Poverty is vicious in itself, because it devalues ​​human dignity. Therefore, people who are in dire need of funds are always at a crossroads.

When does the choice arise between honor and dishonor? When nothing happens in life, and a person is calm, he will most likely live honestly, since there is no temptation, but in a love fever and in extreme need, we are all capable of doubting the expediency of virtue.

How much I would write on this topic! But does anyone even read what I write? I remember how I wrote on one site almost for every book from classical literature - articles = reviews, there were already under 4 thousand characters ... there are no people willing to such reviews.

NOT A SINGLE VIEW!

_____

There is also a lack of darkness)))

"Justice" as in Ilf and Petrov is also sold, very "successfully"))

sold for the ruble.

What is this talking about? About the fact that I write on books to myself.

But I feel good after writing such reviews, and this is the main thing, I will continue to write too, do not blame me.

Start here.

So, for the sake of honor for myself I will write for I have something to say, and dishonor does not threaten me - for the strictest judge is myself, as well as the worst enemy. I know that I am good, honest - to myself - which means I have the right. And I certainly won't die of modesty.

The work "War and Peace" would be ideal for this topic, but we are not looking for easy ways, are we? Let's take a look at any piece you know and have read. Well, I don’t believe that for all the time the school curriculum has not read a single one? Well, in the lower grades, "Honest Word" (Panteleev), you probably read it? About the kid who stood by the clock until the last in the park? And as for "Buratino", which also promised the Pope to take five coins, and not to skip just read and put and heard. Vysotsky still sings in the song - so you read the right books in childhood! Once I sat down on a forum and, at the request of a friend, made a list of books for each class for the summer, it was a long time ago - if a child reads these books from childhood, he will never become a "bad person!" Even if it really wants to - the brain will not allow! And if you haven't read, then my dear parents - the teacher did everything he could! With tears in her eyes, in the summer she sat down in the village and forced her to read one book from her list a week - then it would be too late to reap the benefits. Raising an honest person? We invest in our own future, not the Teacher! The teacher will release your child from school, and you will have to drink what will gurgle in his "vessel".

Honor... many confuse it with duties - you are not obliged to kill someone at his request to the team, they say then you will lose your honor - they say you promised to go shoot! - honor - take care of honor from a young age? Young people have the right to make mistakes and make mistakes, but adults do not. Not small already - at school you can still build a "shkolota" out of yourself and bully a "nerd" with glasses, and in an adult team - they will already look at you at an inadequate person - for whom the place is, in the highest measure, in places remote from the "grown-ups" personalities ". What will you become? - Personality or Discretion? Educated person or Educated person?

Yesterday hundreds of people gave you their hands, they helped, and after you recovered, having shaken yourself off, you began to humiliate, shit, beat? Isn't it time to understand yourself? Although it's probably too late ..

Dishonor.. When a person acts someone against the rules, or not as agreed - "not in accordance with the concept" - he is recorded once and for all as dishonest people. It doesn't matter that yesterday that person did something terrible, unpleasant, ugly to you. This is his act. it is important that tomorrow he will ask you for help and you, as "an honest person to yourself - you will help him!" If you act differently out of a sense of revenge - you start to regret - acted dishonestly, doped another when he felt bad - just because you liked it once .. are you acting honest? Is he to you - are you to him? Basically, from the point of view of honesty - yes, you did the right logical thing. From the point of view of morality - you did - dishonorable.

There is such a thin line between what to do and how not to ...

Personally, I rarely ask someone for advice, there are situations in life that can be confusing. However, you grew up on honest books and you know in advance how to act in the rules of chess - and you do so. No matter what, even if the team is against and they start to ignore you, you are honest with yourself!

In a team, at school, young people often make mistakes when making a choice between their actions, under pressure, or under their personal ambitions. It is not enough when a young man stops, postpones "revenge" for another time. Emotions at this age are very difficult to control, and even in older age, it is rarely possible to contain aggression, anger, sadness, tears .. Especially when there are a lot of instigators and fans to light a fire nearby - so that later you can see what will happen.

Classical literature gives us all the answers - take at least the actions of Paratov from Ostrovsky's "Dowry" (I love everything he wrote and therefore I know his works better than anyone else), and what about Karandyshev's actions? So he wanted to look among the "chosen" classes - his own, that he was ready to put the life of a girl on the altar of his ambitions .. I really like Larisa's mother here. Did she "sell" her daughters? Or did she set them up so that they would not beg later? Giving her eldest daughter to distant warm countries, realizing that it will not be easy for her there (the world does not change!) - she was worried .. even going to send her as much money as she could. It means that she was not so wrong. There are so many examples that one review is not enough.

______________________________________________

Retreat.

Dear friend, if you have not read "Bepsridannitsa", but you are threatened to write an essay - watch the movie of the same name with Mikhalkov! Urgently, before writing the essay, look more than once, but five or six. I am sure that the images will emerge during the writing of the essay (there you are given almost four hours, you will have time!) - others may not be in time at all. If you haven't read it before, it makes sense to start now)) Then, when you are over 30 - you yourself will want to read many works not from under the stick

______________________________________________

If you hate "Dowry", here is an ideal example for you to compose "Savage" - so let's perish together!)))

Or "Thunderstorm". Unfortunately, the film is unsuccessful in the "storm" .. black and white, the slope goes to the revolution, in the wrong place. Therefore, it is not worth looking, it is better to read. But "Wild Woman" on YouTube, there is an excellent modern film! She herself looked with joy - how she had been at the dacha! It turned out great - look, because if you invest not about one work, but three examples each - it will be great, teachers love well-read. Surprise the commission) beat yourself extra points)))

I could write you an essay a hundred times, but you know - why do they even come up with a school and, in particular, a school curriculum - be sure to read - the classics? They are not to torture you! They give you a springboard from which you either crash - having incorrectly studied the tactics and methods of jumping into life and you will crawl, or you will take off and collect all the medals! - choose.

I would gladly disassemble "A Hero of Our Time", he, after all, comes to the point by the way - but I do not like Lermontov and not mine and that's all. So myself.

Soon there will be more than 6 thousand characters, so I will write a sequel on this topic later.

So that's enough. But I really want to write))

The direction "Honor and dishonor" is based on polar concepts associated with the moral choice of a person: to be faithful to the voice of conscience, to follow moral principles, or to follow the path of betrayal, lies and hypocrisy. Many writers have focused on depicting different manifestations of a person: from loyalty to moral rules to various forms of compromise with conscience, to deep moral decline.

For inspiration!

Everything in the world depends

From the heavenly heights.

But our honor, but our honor

It depends on us alone.

Materials for the introductory part of the essay

Honor is that high spiritual strength that keeps a person from meanness, betrayal, lies and cowardice. This is the core that strengthens the personality in choosing an action when conscience is the judge. Life often tests people, putting them before a choice - to act according to honor and take a blow on themselves, or be cowardly and go against their conscience in order to gain benefits and get away from 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 the retreat from it, the loss of honor is even more painful. Being a social, rational and conscious being, a person cannot but think about how others treat him, what they think of him, what assessments are given to his actions and his whole 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 terms of Honor and Dignity. “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.” Moral decay, the fall of moral foundations leads to the collapse of both an individual and an entire people. That is why the significance of the great Russian classical literature, which is the moral foundation for many generations of people, is so great.

"Self-esteem ..."

Bella Akhmadulina

Self-esteem is a mysterious tool:

it is created over the centuries, and is lost at the moment

whether under an accordion, under a bombing, under a beautiful chatter,

it dries up, collapses, crumbles at the root.

Self-esteem is a mysterious path

on which it is easy to crash, but you cannot turn back,

because without hesitation, inspired, pure, alive,

will dissolve, your human image will turn into dust.

Self-esteem is just a portrait of love.

I love you, my comrades - pain and tenderness are in my blood.

Whatever darkness and evil prophesied, nothing but this

did not invent humanity to save its own.

So don't waste your time, brother, don't fold, spit on the absurd vanity -

you will lose your divine face, pristine beauty.

Why risk it so wasted? Are there few other concerns?

Get up, go, servant, only straight, only forward.

Yuri Levitansky

Everyone chooses for himself

Woman, religion, road.

Serve the devil or the prophet -

Everyone chooses for himself.

Everyone chooses for himself

A word for love and for prayer.

A sword for a duel, a sword for a battle -

Everyone chooses for himself.

Everyone chooses for himself:

Shield and armor. Staff and patches.

A measure of final reckoning

Everyone chooses for himself.

Everyone chooses for himself.

I also choose - as I can.

I have no complaints about anyone -

Everyone chooses for himself.

The day will come and the hour will strike
When the mind and honor The turn of the whole earth will come to Stand in the first place.
Robert Burns

(1) In a letter to his wife on May 18, 1836, Pushkin wondered: where did these sensible young people come from, "they spit in their eyes, but they wipe themselves off" instead of defending their honor? (2) Sometimes it seems that we came out of the greatcoats of precisely these meek people. (3) The ringing of resilient steel is no longer heard in the word honor.

1. Introduction.

Honor ... What is it?

Honor is a person's moral qualities, his principles, worthy

respect and pride, this is a high spiritual power that is capable of

keep a person from meanness, betrayal, lies and cowardice.

For most of us, a state of lost honor (dishonor) is

severe pain in the soul, since it is this state that violates our

spiritual connection with other people, with society. Without honor, no

a person of real life.

The main part of the essay

Classics of world fiction, including Russian,

created many works that tell about such heroes who

have different attitudes towards the concept of honor and dignity.

So, in the novel by A. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter" the problem of honor is given the most serious attention. The author shows two Russians

officers - Grinev and Shvabrin. Pyotr Andreevich Grinev is a man of honor and

debt, but Shvabrin cannot be called that. Why is this happening?

Life often tests people, puts them before a choice. How to be that

to do in specific situations? To act according to honor and conscience, or

come to dishonor?

The main part of the essay

In the parental home, Peter received healthy beginnings in life, his moral

qualities and principles of life are worthy of respect. Father seeing off

Peter to the service, gave him an order to serve honestly and remember that

for a person, honor is the most important thing. The young officer remembers his father's

the commandment "Take care of honor from a young age." Grinev is characterized by nobility and loyalty.

Honor and duty for a Russian officer are the meaning of life. He

refused to serve Pugachev, explained this by the fact that he had taken an oath to serve

Empress-Empress. Pyotr Andreevich behaves boldly, honestly, behaves

worthy.

Pugachev appreciated Grinev as a man of honor.

And we see that the path of honor is very difficult, but correct in life.

We reveal the topic of the essay. The first argument.

And Shvabrin? He is also a Russian officer. But which one? At Shvabrin's

there is no sense of duty and human dignity. By breaking

military oath, went over to the side of Pugachev, crawled at his feet

from the impostor, begged for forgiveness. He betrayed his homeland, his

co-worker Grinev, brought so much suffering to Masha Mironova, who rejected his love.

And this is real dishonor.

Rereading the pages of the novel by A.S. Pushkin's "Captain's daughter", we begin to clearly understand that "honor with a uniform is not given. Honor-

it is a moral filling "that dishonor leads to the collapse of human

personality.

The second argument in the essay

In the novel "Dubrovsky" A.S. Pushkin shows two landowners, old

friends - Kiril Petrovich Troekurov and Andrey Gavrilovich Dubrovsky.

What does honor mean for each of them? For a long time the only person

to whom Troekurov treated with reverence and respect, was his neighbor

from Kistenevka-Dubrovsky. Old friends quarreled Both landowners had

hot-tempered, both are proud.

Troekurov maintained this state in himself with the consciousness of wealth and power.

And Dubrovsky-awareness of the antiquity of his kind and noble honor.

The case at the kennel shows Dubrovsky as a proud man who

has a sense of dignity. Troekurov with their

the actions taken drove the former friend to insanity and

of death. Such actions destroy the personality.

The main part of the essay

Rereading the novel by Alexander Pushkin "Dubrovsky", we think about

the fact that honor is the main core of a person, his moral backbone,

when conscience becomes the judge of human actions,

which is also our best controller

About the conclusion to the essay

In conclusion, it is necessary to draw a conclusion based on the written reasoning.

It should overlap with the introduction.

This composition of the composition is called circular.

This version of the composition (construction of work) is considered one of the best.

Conclusion on the topic of the essay

So, arguing on the issue of honor and dishonor, remembering pages of two

novels by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, I come to the conclusion that

the concept of honor will never become outdated, since it is honor that helps a person

live, be on top, helps to make the right moral choice,

to carry out a spiritual connection with people, with society. And this

a lot in human life. And I really want to hope that in

our time among my contemporaries there will be as many people as possible for whom the concept of honor will never lose its

high importance.
