Restoring Honor. What does that mean? Ask many different people and you’ll likely get many different answers. Perhaps somebody wants to restore their own honor after committing a blunder of some sort. Or perhaps that person would like to restore someone else’s honor that was undeservedly taken away.
In many parts of the world, and particularly in Eastern Asia, honor is often seen as something a family has earned, and is something that can be lost if a family member makes a mistake. In that case, honor can be difficult to restore.
Honor is often spoken about on a more personal level, but the virtue can also expand to and be lost and earned on a national level. When honor is lost on a national level, it’s can come from two sources: the government or the people.
