Document Summary
Definitions: honour: is a state or condition of being disciplined, self controlled, trustworthy, and having integrity. All these moral characteristics that a person may prove to have are acquired through ones actions in life situations. Honour is not only restricted to a single person it can expand from one human being to his entire family, tribe or even village. It is considered the social worth of a family. Honour must be obtained and maintained through respect of the community. It is very valued in a traditional community/society. It varies with gender, an honourable man for example is expected to treat females with respect and provide protection, and does his job honestly, teach his children good manners. On the other hand, women have different expectations like taking care of her household, providing for her home, acting appropriately in public. Honour being a very sex linked characteristic has a lot to do with shame and public appearance.
