Do you agree with the culture of honor hypothesis—that where and how one’s ancestors many generations back grew up has an impact on the current generation? Why or why not?
I do agree with the culture of honor hypothesis because people are influenced by their families. For example, in my family my grandmother was taught to address adults with respect and to do as she was told. She raised my mother and aunts and uncles the same way. My mother raised my siblings and I the same way and I'm sure my siblings will raise their children the same way. Many non-material things are passed on from generation to generation such as morals and manners. If people can pass on traditions and manners and morals, I'm sure they can also pass on things such as attitude and demeanor like the hypothesis suggests about southerners.
