Hello Wonderful Steemians!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!!
I believe respect is one of the major pillar which is essential to hold the moral of the society. You will notice how respect works. The more you respect others, the more you will get in return. Also it will help you to be a good human and thus build a meaningful society.
There are so many different kind of believe, so many culture, way of life, skin color and all; if we are not respectful to others how can we hold compassion, love in our heart! Respect is what can make us humble, more human more respectful to others.

I am from a country where we learn to respect others from our childhood. It's like a mandatory process. I still remember, one day how my Dad reacted as I did not exchange Salam(greeting in Islam) with an elder family member.
I am afraid how our society will be if there is no respect for each other! Respect comes from our way of growing up, way of living, understanding life, structure of society and all. But that does not mean we can not teach ourselves to be more respectful to others and to ourselves if we miss something.
Is not it feels great if we get respect from others? But before that we have to build our own image to get respect. It depends on our act, the way we present ourselves to others, the way we interact with people. As I said earlier, I believe it's a two way process. If we can not respect others, we will never get true respect from anyone. May be people will show us a fake respect but behind us they will never love or respect us.
Being respectful to others is the key to get respect. I try to be polite to others, respect others opinion, listen to others, keep promises and all no matter what the relationship is or how small the act is. It's a common thinking that we don't have to respect or get respect from our peer/friends/younger one. We often behave like this and loose our position in front of them. But I follow and believe we should keep our respectful position to others through our act, through showing respect to others and all.

I am a Mom of a two year boy. I realize how important it is to teach our child to respect everyone. No matter what they do to you. I believe there is always some other path to show our anger or claim what we need, but being disrespectful will never give us peace or bring peace in our society. You will get to notice how today's generation become less respectful to others. That's why we should follow this duty to teach our offspring to be respectful to others through our words and our acts.
Respect is a vast thing. You will get to see how different people act to others and how different their understanding is. But one thing should be very common-respect; others and thyself. Always respect others opinion, way of life and thinking, show them love and compassion and try to help them. This can make a better world for the future. Al least I believe so.
I am answering the question- "How do you command (not demand) the respect of your friends and peers?" asked by @ecotrain . You can find more detail here- ecoTrain Question Of The Week Launch Post! ... ResPect! ...
