Men from what type of culture perceives an insult as a threat to one's reputation for masculine courage that must be restored through dominance and aggression

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Men from a culture of honor perceive an insult as a threat to their reputation for masculine courage, and believe that it must be restored through dominance and aggression. This type of culture is prevalent in many parts of the world, including the Southern United States, the Mediterranean, and parts of Latin America and the Middle East. The concept of a "crisis of masculinity" refers to a perceived decline in traditional masculine values and roles, and is not specifically related to the perception of insults. Purposeful aggression and dehumanization are related concepts but do not directly address the question of how men from a particular culture perceive insults.
