What is the Value of Honor?

What is the value of honor? I think that we really cannot answer that question until we know exactly what it is that is being discussed. It seems that honour must be respecting those who are worthy of respect. How are we to determine who exactly is worthy of respect? How is anybody to ever determine such? Are we to deny respect from some people to give it to others? Are we to not care for those less than us? Do we owe them honour? I cannot say that we do, and I cannot say that we do not. These things never have easy answers.
