Culture of Honor: The Psychology of Violence in the South

In psychology, I think Culture of Honor is absolutely stellar: Culture of Honor: The Psychology of Violence in the South by Richard E. Nisbett & Dov Cohen https://www.amazon.com/Culture-Honor-Psychology-Violence-Dir... (https://www.amazon.com/Culture-Honor-Psychology-Violence-Directions/dp/0813319935/) The authors weave together a basically airtight argument for their thesis, drawing on historical, sociological, and experimental evidence to describe and explain the phenomenon called "culture of honor". It's a short book and really worth reading to see how well an argument can be made.
