Honor isn't about recognition. Else I wouldn't call it "honor"...

Oh, perhaps you are talking about this kind of "honor?"

I tend to see honor as groupthink; a proscribed set of constraints usually rewarded by positive reinforcement and punished through shame. It has its uses, as evidenced by the medieval Shogunate and USMC.

It's variable, so no...no objective honor that I'm aware of.

Oh, so sorry, That wasn't very thoughtful of me, I posted a Muslim view of honor, and you're not a muslim. What is your christian denomination so I can match it with the correct youtube video of "honor killings?"

You make a really good point. I strongly agree with this. All in what it is based off of and how it is used.

Yeah that was one thing the book mentioned, though it is fiction I know that is true. Seems odd but genius on the controlling party. Having someone got to that extent.

Honour is that superficial form of respect.

The only thing an honorable death accomplishes is a reduction in the number of honorable people :p
