No, respect must be earned. Granted, when people first meet, they are courteous and kind to one another. Being courteous does not necessarily mean that respect is given to a person.
People earn respect in different ways and in different situations.
In order to earn my respect, a person must be respectful to me, be honest with me, and be dependable. Respect is not something that should be taken lightly. I n order to earn my respect a person must first be respectful toward me. If a person is rude or mean to me, he is not showing me respect. For example, when I was in eighth grade, I liked this boy named Nathan.
