Is respect something that everyone is entitled to as a default until it is lost, or is it something no-one is inherently deserving of and needs to be earned?

I think this would depend a lot on how people define respect and what giving someone respect entails.

Agreed.

I mean I think there's a level of basic human respect that everyone should give people.

There's a difference between being highly respectful of someone and their opinions and basic human decency.

Honestly if someone thinks people have to earn the right to any respect from them, I hope for everyone else's sake that they stay away from that person.

It differs by culture and relationship too. Respect for your parents is different from respect for a boss or respect for a random person who is younger than you which is different from respect for a person of the same age or older, etc etc

I'm going to be a little sjw here. I think women, minorities and marginalized groups deserve respect as a default for enduring the marginalizing of our society. Everyone else can easr respect. I believe people can always lose respect.

What do you mean by respect?

As a woman, and a member of a minority group which has historically been subjected to horrific persecution, I take umbrage at your condescension and patronizing attitude, and also at the idea that some people don't deserve respect on the basis of their gender or ethnicity

"I think women, minorities and marginalized groups deserve respect as a default......"

as if assumed?..... oooooo, i know where this shit is going......

I believe there's respect and then there is decency. Respect is earned but you should give decency to everyone.

Even if you feel they haven't "earned" your respect, people don't deserve to be treated shittily right off the bat when they never did anything to you.

This is close to the way I feel about it.

Courtesy (or decency, if you prefer--I tend to think they're allied concepts but not the same exact thing) is the outward expression of respect. Everybody deserves courtesy unless they have done something really horrific to forfeit it.

Respect is earned, although I tend to feel that people like parents and teachers should receive it by default unless they do something to forfeit it.

There is a certain level of respect I believe everyone is entitled to until lost (and I feel very strongly about this) but there are many higher levels of respect that can be earned beyond that IMO.

I think it is a song.

I think basic human respect, as in treating people with common courtesy/decency, is something that everyone should do regardless of who you are or where you come from.

People deserve to be treated with decency and with the understanding that they are human beings with feelings and needs.

No one is entitled to deference or admiration. That's what needs to be earned.

Kind of both? I mean, there's a basic respect that I think everyone deserves as a human being, but then there's also the kind of respect that goes beyond that, that people have to earn.

Respect has to be earned, but decent treatment is something everyone is deserving of.

I don't think it's about "who deserves respect". Showing respect is a reflection of your own character, not the person you're interacting with. For those who say "respect should be earned", I disagree. It is about your own strength of character and maturity.

is hard, is it?

to earned that respect, well given the definition of respect in oneself would owned....

I think respect needs to be earned, no matter who or what you are. There's too many people out there who abuse the whole "I'm ______, RESPECT ME!" just to be an asshole, and seriously, there's enough assholes in the world without people pushing other people around out of "respect"

Respect needs to be earned.

Courtesy, decency, and compassion do not, and of the three, only the first should be revoked for bad behavior.

I think everyone is entitled to a base level of respect-- some common decency-- no need to be rude to anyone, general courteousness.

However, this is baseline. You can definitely earn respect, and you can lose it as well.

Example:

Person A says something condescending about another person. = respect lost
Person B does stands up for someone. = respect gained.

So what I consider proper respect is gained over time through action, experience, and being in relation to that person. General respect is more courteousness (i.e. you're not just going to be rude to the person walking down the street beside you).

My landlady is the kind of a person who, because of her perceived "high social standing", expects respect in the sense that everyone else should perceive her to be above themselves. She took it as some kind of a personal attack when I just treated her as an equal human being.

I think basic human respect is a right, but a reverence-like, higher-than-above respect really has to be personally earned.
