520 |a In the 1940s, Ruth Benedict pointed out that there are shame cultures and guilt cultures. This essay argues that the salient difference between cultures is honor orientation and justice orientation, more so than shame and guilt. Honor or justice influence daily interactions. After a transgression, a justice orientation leads to feelings of guilt; an honor orientation produces shame. Restoration, depending on the culture, thus deals with guilt by seeing that justice is done or with shame by restoring honor. Finally, the article suggests that the Bible has a message of restoration for both honor- and justice-oriented people.
