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".

    I think honor is a little different that just wanting to appear good for social approval. I think that's part of honor, but not the whole thing. I'm not sure if lying is core, but presentation might be.

    But I'm not sure what definition I'd give.

    I know honor is something that's been academically studied by historians, sociologist, anthropologist etc but I havent read any of their research.
