Yes, but you never reach a point at which all human respect is obliterated....
the problem is those people you mentioned, who have a deficiency of automatic respect. It should be based on no other fact than they are conversing with another human being...
Is the problem here discrimination, whether by age or appearance, social status, or whatever? Or does it extend further than that, into a personality issue?
I know that cultural symbols and stations contribute to the formation of new ideas regarding who should be respected and how much, but even when that's justifiable, it usually decays into hollow traditions that they gratefully indulge in without knowing why they are doing so, other than that's what Mummy and Daddy told them.
Is there a solution for people like that? We can't just sweep it under the carpet in every circumstance; sometimes, it hits too close to home.
Changing opinions is difficult--but it's damn-near impossible if you can't find the root of the problem....
MEANWHILE, all ideas and perspectives are welcomed here. I want to hear everybody's opinions and experiences, as well as your knowledge on the subject.
