Document Summary
In the traditional sense is something that must be protected from external attacks, insults or betrayals. For some families especially in traditional ones, such as sarakatsan, honour is one of the most important aspects that every family should have as it defines its reputation. Campbell"s describes honour as " an aspect of integrity and social worth of the family". It represents the " strength" of the family and its "moral solidarity". For example, if a man is killed or a woman is assaulted, a life or honour is taken away and away from his family honour. I think honour is essential for every family and every person as it defines one"s position in society. If the person is honorable, people usually respect that person and therefore, this person also have a good reputation. The honour is still impact now, for instant, the british royal family.
