Every time you interact with someone you should give them a base level of respect. How they respond determines the amount of respect you continue to proceed with.

    What about the respect given to an individual because of its status in society? There are certain people that have a base level of respect because of their seniority, job or role during a period of time.

    Those people may or may not show the same amount of respect towards others as is shown to them in general. And I dare say, there will be people willing to defend them even if they are not up to expectations, just because they have that seniority/job/role.

    Take for instance:

    • Some politicians
    • Some celebrities
    • Some senior members of an organisation, like CEOs, CTOs, senior managers, etc.
