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

> 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.

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
