to draw from another fictional source, the Orcs in warcraft are a lot like the Klingons in Star Trek. A culture that places value on combat and conflict and the individual's conduct in those situations. We look at it and think bloodthirsty warmongers, to them however, their sense of self, worth, pride, honor, ect. all depend on testing oneself against whatever blocks their way, or challenges their way of life.

humans in wow are not afraid to fight, they would rather seek understanding and peace keeping a defensive stance. the Orcs will fight first and conquer and subjugate what they can and sometimes find understanding and respect in their foes depending on how they conduct themselves in battle.

there are rare humans that the orcs respect because of their actions in conflict. Tirion Fordring and Eitrigg come foremost to my mind.
