respect: earned or impose?

[alwayz_yummy]

it actually depends on the situation or relationship.

in person-person relationships in western countries it is usually earned. in eastern societies it is given and it is up to the recipient to keep it or lose it. i follow the later.

between parent and child it is first taught, then expected by the parent from the child. then as the child grows older it is both kept and earned. when the child becomes an adult then it could change as in person-person above.

yes it should be thought nung bata pa, pero what if, di naturuan ng proper respect ang anak, nung tumanda at nagkaisip na, parang magdedemand ng respect ang magulang na yun sa anak nya...lumaki ung bata sa salita ng magulang na "wala kang respeto!bastos!walang galang!"

in a family, when will the respect be given and earned and when it should be imposed?
