  11. In the Elizabethan era, to maintain your honor you had to be feared by people. A way that a man can disrespect another mans honor is by clowning on their family or wealth. The only way you can retain your honor is by dueling him in a fight

  22. I think that hunting is ok because it dose control the population of animals and humans like meat and sometimes need fur

  23. I'm against hunting animals, the animal could be a mother and she has a baby ahead of her then someone kills her. Then the baby won't now where his/her mother is so than their is an orphan in the forest by him/her shelf. People should see that their just like us, but in a different form. They also feel thing likes us so think about.
