Respect is an assumption of good faith and competence in another person or in the whole of oneself. Depth of integrity, trust, complementary moral values, and skill are necessary components.[1]

Respect is the term used to value oneself or others. It also could be applied to taking care of oneself, others or the environment. It adds general reliability to social interactions. It enables people to work together in a complimentary fashion, instead of each person having to understand or even agree with each other every time. Respect is very important to communities because it helps people get along with other people.[1]

Human languages typically grammatically encode distinction between honorific forms to the listener, on one hand. On the other is "familiar", or colloquial language. These distinctions may be grammatically encoded by a regular system of verb and noun affixes, such as in Japanese or, for example, children are taught Respect for their parents.[2]

Human culture have varied ways of showing respect by bodily actions. In many European cultures, people shake hands. In others, such as in Japan people bow at the waist when meeting.[3]

Frequently, gender is a factor in how respect is displayed in bodily behavior. For example, women in many Western cultures traditionally curtsy, whereas men bow.[3]

Mafia

The general theory behind the mafia (whether fictional or non-fictional) is that most mafias in some form or another revolve heavily around the theory of respect. Where the hired men and those lower in rank of the family are set to show "respect" to the mafioso. [4][5][6]

Military

As a sign of respect in almost any form of the military is the salute. A salute is used by enlistees to show respect to officers and by officers to those of higher rank. [7][8][9] The 21 gun salute (done within the military for funerals of military members and for high ranking civilians) is a very respect-based procedure. [10]
