In my opinion, violence will not make matters worse. Also, MLK's, and other peoples', peaceful protests worked because of the racial violence involved (not necessarily from MLK himself), bringing out media attention. Violence does not necessarily mean killing someone. It could also mean using a threat against someone; you're using a force in order to inflict pain on someone else. For example, the king and the duke are tarred and feathered by a mob of townspeople, eventually making them both realize they should stop their foolish and evil ways. Sometimes, people need some sort of violence to stop their own cruel actions.

Also, people use violence to make sure they do not come across as weak, especially if they feel threatened in any way. Colonel Sherburn, who does kill someone, uses brutal actions to let the town know that he means business; according to the nineteenth-century code of honor, violence shows manhood, courage, and a person's loyalty.

Question: Wouldn't it make it worse to use violence? The nonviolent route may be slow but it does work. Think of MLK with his marches. Aren't they trying to avoid confrontation, not embrace it and make the relationship worse?

4. Nonviolence

Question: If talking out one's issues do not work, what other methods would people use in order to solve their altercations?

1. Loyalty also means "the enemy of my friend is also my enemy." Does that mantra seem to be true in high school culture too?

2. Forgiving: The man of the 1800s wasn't forgiving at all. This would go against the southern code of honor and it would mean that you would accept defeat, damaging pride. Today, pride isn't as important as solving the issue at hand.

3. Selflessness: The "honorable man" of the 1800s wouldn't care about selflessness. He would only be concerned with upholding their honor and image. They would only care about their own lives. Today, people are constantly thinking about other people's lives, as shown by the emergence of social media.

4. Nonviolence: My idea of nonviolence, which is the resolution of differences with agreements, was absent in the past. People settled disputes with gruesome duels, in which people killed one another. There was no peaceful compromise among people in the south. Today, this is different

1. Equality: Today, all are supposed to be "equal." This is at least partially true, especially with respect to the era of slavery and segregation. During the era of slavery, and the southern honor code, the only respect/equality given, was during a duel. Otherwise, people didn't constantly treat others as equals.

1. Forgiveness: Forgiveness is the opposite of the ideas advocated by the code of honor. People would choose to fight and kill one another to redress simple errors rather than to forgive. The idea of forgiveness would mean to accept defeat, which would hurt the pride of the Southerners, who sought to maintain their honor.

2. Modesty: Southerners during the 1800s were not modest or humble at all. Their constant desire to maintain great pride and honor caused them to belittle others. This is demonstrates a great ego rather than the quality of modesty.

3. Peace and nonviolence: The ideas of peace and nonviolence were completely absent in the South during the nineteenth century. People during this time would resolve even trivial conflicts through violent means, such as duels.

4. Rational thinking: People refused to think about their situation and the consequences of their actions in the South. People were blinded by the code of honor, which called for mindless duels and battles which could be resolved in simple ways, without leading to unnecessary death.

5. Selflessness: People's great sense of pride caused them to be very selfish and egoistic. People always thought about themselves and how they could better their status in their community. They never thought about others, let alone performed actions to help them, leading to a selfish society.

6. Fairness/Equality: Fairness was important in the 1800s as demonstrated by the rules of the duels. The difference is that fairness in my definition means constantly treating others equally. This differs from that of the South during the 1800s who only treated their rivals fairly in the case of a duel. People did not treat one another fairly otherwise, shown through their devotion to slavery.

7. Loyalty/Friendship: In my opinion, loyalty is friendship and trust between two people, leading to a strong bond and relationship. On the contrary, to the South, loyalty was devotion to another, where one would submit himself under another. This idea of loyalty is one which places one above another, which contradicts with my belief of mutual loyalty between equals. The South's perception of loyalty was one which related to the idea of slavery, which was complete submission, but without choice.

Equality- instead of discriminating against people by wealth, religion, sex, etc, people should respect each other without looking at those factors. But the nineteenth century man would not care about this because of the obvious reason- slavery.

Selflessness- the nineteenth century man would not care so much for this because their main objective is preserving their honor, but would try to appear somewhat selfless to preserve their reputation.

Kindness- although the nineteenth century man would be kind to others to show his or her generosity, it would just be a cover so that they would appear selflessness.

1. Loyal: The southern man of honor show no loyalty to any of his peers nor his slaves which in my code of conduct is the most important aspect of being a “man of honor”.

2. Caring: Similar to the 19th century man of honor, the second top priority is to show hospitality to all people you meet.

3.  Creative: The man of honor from the 19th century promotes the commitment of traditionalists views while I support new ideas and take a more liberal stance on my lifestyle.

4. Courage: This comes later on my list of the importance of my traits because being too courage can lead to excessive arrogance which is seen throughout the novel in Colonel Sherburn and the frauds.

5. Individuality: We can not follow the norms of society like the southern man of honor, but instead venture on our own adventures to discover my purpose in life.

Equality for all - A 19th century man would most likely look down on people who were not like their own to maintain their pride. For example, Southerners would look down upon other races and Northerners. However, in today’s era, everybody is seen as equals and everyone follows the same code of honor.

Honesty: Although a Southerner most likely valued honesty, they may have had unsaid "exceptions." They used rhetoric instead of facts and may have had loopholes for the enslaved. Otherwise, a southerner was expected to be truthful and forthright. They were to express their real beliefs and confront others with it. Even in duelling, one was to be honest with their cause of insult and their reason for anger.

Selflessness: Southerners fought to defend only their own honor. Today, we are expected to help others as well.

Peace: The definition of peacefully resolving problem is vastly different today than what is was in the 19th century. Today, we promote non violence and diplomacy whereas back then everything was seen as insult or non insult and was resolved by dueling.

Education - Instead of learning how to live in nobility and live a romantic life, people today are more interested in getting a education and live and work based on merit.
