One of my favorite sayings goes like -" There is nothing like education that builds character" - and, here education is referred in a broader perspective. Most of the character traits that are universally thought of as 'unified' and 'fundamental' are indeed influenced by situation and context...However, I believe, education affects your behavior in such a way that you respond to different situations with an upbeat and right attitude. Good Institutions' Honor code policies also serve the same purpose.

What is generally written in such Honor Code policies is nothing but common sense (no copying, no cheating, no manipulating etc, etc) - and every normal human follows those in conducive circumstances. But, when situations and contexts are tempting, following any 'unwritten commonsense' becomes uncommon, and good humans fall prey to those temptations. That's when the written policies/honor code and their constant repetition/preaching serves as a deterrent.
