A word that is often used incorrectly but may be essential in some cultures is honour. Honour has nothing to do with morality, it is simply a code of behaviour that holds people and groups responsible for their actions and the consequences of those actions. Honour is not a feeling, it is an obligation.

When we use the term "honour", it can refer to an individual, a family, a tribe or a community. The most important honour is to maintain your own honour. Honour is built by earning respect and maintaining it. You can't buy or inherit honour. You must earn it.

There are different types of honour.
