Loud Moves Quiet

A "Code of Silence" refers to a situation where individuals or groups refuse to disclose information, often about illegal or unethical behavior, to protect themselves or others. It's an unwritten agreement to remain silent, typically out of fear, loyalty, or a desire to avoid consequences. This can occur in various settings, including law enforcement, criminal organizations, and even professional environments.

​

A "Code of Honor" is a set of ethical principles and guidelines that individuals or groups adopt to govern their behavior and decision-making. It outlines values like honesty, integrity, respect, and responsibility, and it can set high standards for behavior, encouraging people to strive for excellence. Codes of honor are often socially, institutionally, culturally, and/or individually imposed and reinforced.
