“Culture of Honor” is a term generally used to describe the American southern culture and is related to the use of violence for the purpose of maintaining a reputation. This quality is viewed to be important for a man in any region where gaining resources and keeping them depends on the community’s belief that the man can protect those resources against predators.
I think there are some striking similarities to Fox ButterField's All God's Children: The Bosket Family and the American tradition of Violence.
