honours system

The honours system is a way countries recognize individuals for their significant contributions to society, such as achievements in arts, science, community service, or public service. People are nominated and awarded titles or medals, like knighthoods or orders, by the government or monarchy. These awards publicly acknowledge dedication, excellence, or impact in various fields, inspiring others and celebrating national pride. The system varies by country, but its core purpose is to honor and motivate outstanding effort and service across communities.
