Culture of honor (Southern United States)

The culture of honor is found in some parts of the United States, especially in the South. This is a way of thinking that values respect and protecting your own honor, or reputation. People who follow this culture believe that it is important to stand up for yourself and what you believe in, even if it means using force. They also believe in not backing down from a challenge and having the courage to stand up for what you believe in. This culture can lead to people settling disputes quickly with violence and not resolving them peacefully.
