pstp phil just gov One can contrast cultures of honour with cultures of law. In a culture of law there is a body of laws which must be obeyed by all, with punishments for transgressors. This requires a society with the structures required to enact and enforce laws. A culture of law incorporates an unwritten social contract: members of society agree to give up some aspects of their freedom to defend themselves and retaliate for injuries, on the understanding that transgressors will be apprehended and punished by society. From the viewpoint of anthropology, cultures of honour typically appear among nomadic peoples and herdsmen who carry their most valuable property with them and risk having it stolen, without having recourse to law enforcement or government. pstp ref gov phil - Thomas Page

The Law of Honor is a system of rules constructed by people of fashion, and calculated to facilitate their intercourse with one another; and for no other purpose. … Hence this law only prescribes and regulates the duties betwixt equals; omitting such as relate to the Supreme Being, as well as those which we owe to our inferiors. —William Paley The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy, 1785 from The Honor Code by Kwame Anthony Appiah http://appiah.net/books... http://www.npr.org/player... via http://friendfeed.com/liberal... , pstp 10 -4 http://www.commondreams.org/view... , http://www.slate.com/id... , 5 -31 -12 Culture of honor (Southern United States) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
