I would also point out that tribal societies have a much greater sense of honor than western urban society regardless of religion.

I would substitute "honor" for "easily hurt pride". Honorable actions will be taken even when in private. These tribal societies (you can find their leaders driving their Limos and Benz's on the freeway) care a lot more about the appearance of honor than actual honor, as far as I can tell.
