Honor in the sense of "if I do good things I will be respected, if I do bad things people will be repulsed by my very presence, and this system makes me actually materially change my behavior for the better and not just be a hypocrite".

    Like as a system or just "have people been honorable"?

      I worded it poorly. Maybe "have there been functioning systems of honor where nobody wanted to accuse each other of deception?"

        I don't think so, but in the sense that not everyone would be bound by honor, let alone follow it.

        While fictional SF Debris has a great video on distinctions within Klingon honor which talks about the matter in an interesting way https://sfdebris.com/videos/startrek/yt_worfandklingonhonor.php
