How do they differ from our modern systems of law? 5.? Finally, how do they specifically reflect the definition of Honor from the handout. You have to read dates before answer those questions and the answers must base on dates. Thank you very much. ? Answer preview.. The codes have the belief of fighting in what one believes in common. The fifth Chivalry commandment, thirteenth Khan Law and the line in the creed, which talks of seizing opportunities all relate to not backing down when one faces challenges. The codes, therefore, believe that people should face challenges with utmost valor regardless of the magnitude of the same. The codes are different regarding the target audience. While the Samurai Creed focuses on the individual, the codes of Chivalry and the Khan laws all have the entire society as the public. The latter two are directed at the society and everyone ought to abide by them. On the other hand, one can opt not to follow the ideas postulated in the Samurai Creed and only the said individual would face the consequences of not so doing. Not following the same would not have significant effects on the society. However, not following the Khan Laws or the Codes of Chivalry may have consequences for other individuals in the society. ?
