Question

In Chapter 6 of Outliers, "Harlan, Kentucky," Malcolm Gladwell endeavors to explain to you how a cultural phenomenon explains the violence in Harlan, and elsewhere in the U.S. South. He traces this "culture of _______________" to the highlands of Europe.

Answer 1

Culture of honor

Step-by-step explanation:

Honor culture is a term used to describe the custom of defending the principles of an individual. To explain it better, let's first understand that honor is a human behavior capable of imposing respect, prestige and privilege on an individual. An honorable individual is considered an honest, worthy, strong and honest individual. These qualities allow this individual to be respected, loved, admired and privileged. Hurt someone's honor was very serious, as it could prevent that person from being considered honorable.

In this context comes the culture of honor, which is established as the way someone defended their honor, when someone tried to hurt it. This defense was often violent, guaranteeing that the honor would only be recovered if the people who injured it were killed, or seriously harmed and that is precisely what is being described in chapter 6 of Outliers.
