If you don't get respect, why should you give it?

Ever feel that people don't care anout you, or your personal space, life, or privacy? But yet, they seem to demand respect like it should be automatic?
But, why should respect those who don't respect us? Is respect something that we should automatically get, or is it something that we have to earn? Just because someone has a higher position than you, shouldnt't mean that you have to automatically respect them for that reason. Respect shouldn't be based on position on the food chain, but by how the person treats you. If you give it, you get it. Plain and simple. It should be earned, not something that should be given away.
Unfortunatly in life, there are people who think that just because they hold a high position respect should be just given to them, like it means nothing. Respect should mean something. Respect should only be given to someone who truely deserves. I think respect is something similar to your virginity- something that means a lot and shouldn't be given to just anybody that you see on the streets.
People who barge into others often don't respect their personal space. Respect is something that we need to start doing, and because one is a parent, or one with higher power, doesn't mean that they automatically get that respect factor. But unfortunatly, that is not how the world works. Everyone is more demanding now, than they ever were. Demanding for speed, love, and for everything to go their way, or else it is wrong. If only we can go back to a time when respect, and virginity, actually meant something.
