Respect comes from each individual and it is based on their personal beliefs and values. They most likely learned their beliefs and values from their parents. People respect others based on those beliefs and it varies widely. Some people respect the Democrats and some respect the Repubicans. Some people respect pro-choice followers and some folks respects pro-life followers. It's all a matter of personal beliefs and values. It really has little to do with other people. Even criminals are respected by certain folks.

In order to respect others one has to have a secure sense of self. Sometimes people who are dis-respected have not exhibited any towards others and have not earned it.

Theoretically; it should be a "given", -a blank check. That we give to everyone- until they abuse our generosity, & then have to earn it back. But many of us seem to think Respect needs to be earned FIRST... So it ALL depends on how trusting you are, and how benevolent we feel...

From the Law either written on their hearts of flesh or hearts of stones.
Which kind of heart one has determined their fruits or actions accordingly.
