Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cultures of honor typically exist in places where the laws are not well enforced and where people must rely on their own resources and abilities to maintain their social status and protect their reputation. In such cultures, individuals are seen as responsible for maintaining their own honor and may resort to violent behaviors to defend their reputation. Country W fits this description, making it the best choice. Countries with strong financial security (B) or wealth (C) are less likely to have cultures of honor because people rely more on economic status than personal reputation. Country X (D), with its strong laws and harsh punishments, is also less likely to have a culture of honor because the legal system takes over the role of maintaining order and social norms.
