3rd “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell

Another interesting and exiting part in “Outliers” is when Malcolm Gladwell writes about the “culture of honor”. That’s how this extraordinary author calls people from the south, people that are – since generations- mostly cowboys and having their live stocks. Of course these people are living in a society full of violence because to fight was kind of their daily business. They were forced to prove that they are brave, that they are strong. Being strong was the only guarantee to survive. They had to protect and to defend what they had. So- during generations- these peoples’ violence rate was of course much higher than the one from the people living in the northern parts of the country. The people in the northern parts mostly were farmers, so there was no need for fights, no need for violence because it was not necessary to protect or defend fruits, corn etc. Because of this fact these people, during generations, lived their lives more peacefully.
