Explain what a "culture of honor" is, its origin, and how being raised in a culture of honor can influence aggression

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: A culture of honor is a culture in which protecting one's reputation (honor) is vital. It emerged in the southeastern and western U.S. among people who herded cattle for a living. Their honor, or reputation, was important in protecting their cattle from thieves. In a culture of honor, aggression is considered an appropriate response to being insulted. Thus, even today, some southerners and westerners may be more easily provoked to aggression if they are personally insulted.
