Respect

It is often quoted that you should give respect to people or just “respect others”. However, the correct term is consideration and not respect, as respect has to be earned over time.
The origin of the word respect comes from the ancient Latin word “respectus”, which is the combination of the prefix “re” meaning “back” or to “redo”, and the Latin word “specere” meaning “to look at”.
This means that over time you “look back at” the actions of someone and make a judgement, and if their actions are just, you can give your respect to them.
When you meet someone for the first time, you give them consideration whether or not to give your respect, making you “considerate”.
Once your judgement has been reached, and you find the person to have good qualities, you may then give your respect in a feeling of admiration, or in honour of their achievement.
Respect must be earned over time, and not just given away.

EXACTLY that I told to a judge once. He said something "you have to respect people in this room" and my answer was: "first they need to EARN my respect... and they didn't do anything about that but the opposite".
It was 1 min of silence in the room.

Judges are inclined to force you having respect for the others, that’s why it was 1 min of silence in the room.

I don't think respect can be forced.

You got my "respect" for this meaningful information.

I really appreciate this breakdown - the amount of times I have been told that I should "respect" a person and asked why? I am happy to be kind and show them consideration however I will respect them once I feel I want to, and I have taught my kids the same thing. I have to earn their respect, I cannot just expect it.

Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.

But I’m Asian. The cultural norm here stipulates that I must treat my elders sincerely, out of respect. N tbh, I expect my students to regard me with deference, out of respect too. Haha

Is this respect that you are giving and receiving or is it a certain type of behaviour that you are expected to abide by?

What about giving respect to your parents and elders in your family. Do they also be taken into consideration or should they earn respect before actually getting it.
I'm mostly agree with today's Wordplay or word knowledge except for the thought that I just mentioned. Kindly enlighten further if I've missed on something.

What about giving them unconditional love and respect without consideration?

respect without consideration?
it's not respect. respect is to look back at previous actions and act accordingly
reply
Ahhh, okay!!
I get it now. Sorry arguing for nothing. This is clearly mentioned in your definition. If parents want respect they should so earn it by taking care of their kids in the best possible way they can.
