Do you automatically give respect to your elders, people in power, The Queen? 

Or is respect earned?

And what if you make a mistake, do you lose all respect for that person or do you give them the benefit of the doubt. 

This and many other questions regarding the subject R.E.S.P.E.C.T are discussed by Andrew and Roger in this episode of the Take This Personally podcast. Social media comes along, of course, so does Trump because man oh man, is that a good example to discuss when it comes to respect.

You can bet on it that the combined 100 years of life experience will be present in the discussion about respect and yes, the phrase; in our youth it was different may be mentioned a few times. As well as the word; eroded. 

Quotes from the show;

Roger:

" So, language isn't used anymore or less in a way where it was, , somewhat designed or developed or not developed, but it grew into this thing to express, you know, if your vocabulary is large enough, you can express yourself exactly to the point. What it is that you feel or ,how you interpret something or how you believe to be something to be, if I just go on Twitter and say vaccinations are stupid, that can mean so many things that it can also be interpreted in like a hundred different ways."

Andrew:

" I don't know, I would find it hard to respect a belief system that diminishes others.  So the, one that springs to mind, historically, the Catholic church has found that homosexuality is a sin. I find it hard to respect that because it diminishes other people. It assumes that other people are less than based on no evidence or proof."
