The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The argument that differences in violence between the north and south of the United States are due to differences in the importance of honor is considered to be relatively true.

The thing is that it is true that some people in the South believe in a so-called "Culture of Honor."

This concept is not exclusive to people in the South of the United States, because something similar exists in other parts. However, in the case of the United States, southern people believe that they have to defend against any type of insults or aggressions with the same token. So they use violence to "strike back" any insult because they consider that it is a matter of pride and honor to defend their names, their family, and their property. So they think they have the right and the obligation to respond this way because it is a matter of "honor."
