In “Why Colleges Should Ditch Honor Codes” Susan Greenberg is trying to inform the audience as to why society does not require the honor code anymore. The rules that lie behind this regulation are becoming outdated and more students are finding themselves punished for disobeying it.

across the country have implemented honor codes. These codes vary widely depending on the institution; some merely outline unacceptable academic behaviors, others have a “no toleration” clause, and a few even regulate students’ dress and other social behavior.

Chivalry is usually known as a moral system or an honor code. It originated in the 12th century when kings ruled the country, as a code to make peace.

Back in the time when King Arthur ruled a lot of the people were loyal to their king and their country
