Almost always, paternal authority went unchallenged and women were expected to take care of the home and all of the children, at least the white children.
One other aspect of this Southern honor or code of behavior system was service in the military, in this case, service in the Confederate army following the start of the Civil War with the attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. For almost all Southern white men under the age of thirty, military service was mandatory and when a young man achieved a high rank in the army, this also affected his immediate family members by providing them with additional honor, such as achieving the rank of captain with perhaps hundreds of soldiers under his command. Although education also played a major role in obtaining "honor," many young men opted for military schooling, such as with the ROTC (Reserve Officer Training...
For instance, Robert E. Lee, the leader of the Confederate armies during the war, attended West Point, along with many other Confederate military leaders, particularly "Stonewall" Jackson, considered by all Southerners as the penultimate symbol of Southern honor and integrity. By no small coincidence, when these Southern men obtained military honors in the form of medals like the Medal of Honor for bravery on the battlefield, this newly-acquired "honor" filtered down to their families and were thus often seen as outstanding members of their communities, simply because a son had been awarded for his bravery and for outstanding performance on the battlefield.
Clearly, the distinctiveness of "honor" in Southern society came about through a number of processes, such as those mentioned above and through a strict moral code of behavior which mandated all Southern men to behave as "gentlemen" at all times and to protect the "honor" of their families at all costs. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, this familial "honor" was put to the ultimate test, especially considering that the institution of slavery which had existed for hundreds of years in the Old South, came under extreme pressure from anti-slavery groups in the North, not to mention President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 which banned slavery in the United States. Thus, for Southern whites, their "honor" forced them to fight back so as to preserve old Southern "honor" which ultimately resulted in defeat and humiliation.

Research is constant evaluation and re-evaluation of methods, conclusions and other research that may enhance the public and private welfare of others. One recent study found that "public health is concerned both morally and practically with the political, social, and health condition of populations" (Taylor & Johnson, 2007, p. 296)
Thus, she is never honored in any way for her own qualities or virtues, but only if she knows how to obey and please her husband in all his wishes. Moreover, the wife must obey her husband even when the latter is neither virtuous, nor faithful to her and her children: "154. Though destitute of virtue, or seeking pleasure (elsewhere), or devoid of good qualities, (yet) a husband must
Moreover, a prosecution of the core leadership of an organization under RICO charges is likely to produce revelations concerning the relationship between leadership and other members who are either guilty of racketeering or some lesser scope of individual crime. This is to say that RICO was essentially designed to push the door open on the activities of such typically obscured enterprises in order to systematically disrupt its initiatives and
The function of the work of art would be to stand before the city, and to show the city as wisdom personified, and by implication show that the wisdom came from the works and power of the Medici. It would make an analogy between the city-state of Florence and the ancient city-state of Athens. Because Athens was a genuine republic, it might even deflect some criticism from the Medicis, who
Soldierly Perception of Masculinity in Imperial Germany 1880-1914 According to the researchers, from last two centuries shifts have been experienced in Germany's war system. New forms of masculinity arose in 1945, when Germany was totally surrendered and so did the regime of Nazi's. The regime of Nazi's was a heroic one and after World War II new forms of masculinity arose in Germans. War system is a vital determiner of masculinity;
American Social Thought on Women's Rights This paper compares and contrasts the arguments in favor of women's rights made by three pioneering American feminists: Judith Sargent Murray, Sarah Grimke, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. This analysis reveals the centrality of religious argumentation to the feminism of all three. Murray and Grimke were both converts to varieties of evangelical Protestantism who drew considerable intellectual and emotional nourishment from strands of Christianity, which encouraged,
