Respect

It is a made-up belief within our evolving measurement system we use to evaluate values, fairness, and potential.

Made-up belief... Because there is no measurement unit (inches, gallons, meters, etc.), we create it based on our experiences, culture, and what we have been exposed to. Beliefs can be changed instantly with new information. This system is subjective and created by the individual. Thus, made up.

Evolving measurement system... Respect is, by definition, a judgment of worth. This assessment system is always evolving as we grow, learn more, and see things differently. My respect system at 21 is very different than at 40.

The main categories we assess respect falls under three main categories. Values, potential, and fairness. Here are some words that fall in these categories. (there are many more)

Values: Trust, safety, consideration, loyalty, morals, disregard, Rudeness, generosity, kindness, manners, principal(s), intelligence, skill, hard-working, accountability, status, and punctuality.

Potential: Belief, obedience, loyalty, defiance, Love, kindness, effort, tact, winning, accomplishments, status, achievements, elders, winning a championship, gold medal, doctorate, graduation.

Fairness: Appreciation, generosity, justice, support, differences, kindness, the golden rule.
I respect people who treat others the way they like to be treated.

I respect the effort and dedication they put in to build their dream!

I respect people on time and who are considerate of others' schedules.

Respect the pause

When a friend is watching a live, pause-able sporting event in a separate location and says he has to pause said event, you must respect the pause and not spoil what has happened until he has confirmed seeing it.
Brad: Dude, did you see that touchdown, that shit was crazy!

Mike: What the fuck asshole, I'm driving home from the store! Respect the pause, man!!!

City-Side Respect

A cultural slang originating from the southern part of Montreal. Often used by street hockey-playing teenagers who get cross-checked to the floor by their friends, and land next to the sidewalk.
Shel: Why would you cross-check me to the floor?

Dom: This is street hockey, get used to it.

Shel: Start showing me some City-Side Respect or else you won't be getting any from me.

Dom: City-Side Respect isn't a thing, and it will never be a thing, ja feel?
