Outline for Mackenzes paper I. Introduction: Define Honor Duty and Loyalty. a. The word honor means to have respect or a high esteem for someone or something. It also means to have a certain privilege gained or accessed when you have done a good deed or when you have earned it. Honor is also used in the Bible a lot, in that term it is used in respect for yourself and for God. b. An act or a course of action that is required of one by position, social custom, law, or religion: the duties of being a critical care nurse. Required action or service: jury duty; beyond the call of duty. See Synonyms at function. Active military service: a tour of duty. Moral or legal obligation: It is your duty to tell the truth. The compulsion felt to meet such obligation: acting out of duty. c. Loyalty: in general use, is a devotion and faithfulness to a nation, cause, philosophy, country, group, or person.[1] Philosophers disagree on what can be an object of loyalty, as some argue that loyalty is strictly interpersonal and only another human being can be the object of loyalty. The definition of loyalty in law and political science is the fidelity of an individual to a nation, either one's nation of birth, or one's declared home nation by oath (naturalization). Note: you will need to cut these definitions down to tell the reader what you think Duty Honor and Loyalty. In other words take the definitions I have given you and put them in your own words. II. Honor; quote Leaders honor their core values but they are flexible in Leaders honor their core values but they are flexible in how they execute them how they execute them.” Colin Powell III. Live up to Army values. The nation’s highest military award is The Medal of Honor. This award goes to Soldiers who make honor a matter of daily living — Soldiers who develop the habit of being honorable, and solidify that habit with every value choice they make. Honor is a matter of carrying out, acting, and living the values of respect, duty, loyalty, selfless service, integrity and personal courage in everything you do. IV. Duty from a Soldier perspective means to Fulfill your obligations. Doing your duty means more than carrying out your assigned tasks. Duty means being able to accomplish tasks as part of a team. The work of the U.S. Army is a complex combination of missions, tasks and responsibilities — all in constant motion. Our work entails building one assignment onto another. You fulfill your obligations as a part of your unit every time you resist the temptation to take “shortcuts” that might undermine the integrity of the final product. V. Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other Soldiers. Bearing true faith and allegiance is a matter of believing in and devoting yourself to something or someone. A loyal Soldier is one who supports the leadership and stands up for fellow Soldiers. By wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army you are expressing your loyalty. And by doing your share, you show your loyalty to your unit. Closing Every Soldier lives and dies by this code upon entrance to the Military they make a pact to willingly give their life to uphold the ideals set within our constitution and that every Soldier Seaman, Coasty Marine and Airman are equal and operate as one cohesive team. My dad has been out on many deployments and has come home saying the mission would have been a failure if it were not for the creativity, drive and motivation of the Soldiers.
