Now this has proven controversial-and timelessly too. It is common to witness altercations between people, one says he was disrespected, and demands express apology. The other says he didn't mean to be like that and therefore owes nothing. My question is, who should be handed the right of opinion here, baring factors like age difference, culture and others?
Talk to me, people.

What is this one saying??
The most important thing is that I'm FTC

I dey cum

I don't see anything controversial in addressing people as politely as possible. First and most important to take note of is disrespect borders on cultures and communal practices. What is considered rude in Japan might be a gesture of reception in the United States. You may acceptably go on your knees to greet as a female if from a deep cultured Yoruba home and be considered a lousy clown doing same in Finland. I could shake hands with my Caucasian in-laws and be shown the door if I "do anyhow" with Papa Osato.

This days I don't know why people book space anymore, its not like they make any sensible contributions

Johnbosco77: wait ooooo. I'm I FTC?

No you are not, Dully...

Baring age difference, the elder one is handed the right of opinion if the involved parties are related by blood; more especially if they are from same parents.

Their could be stvpid "seniors" though.

Respect is reciprocal.

Johnbosco77: wait ooooo. I'm I FTC?

sorry fof you.

Common sense defines it.

I believe regardless of your age or whomever you are,to deserve respect,you must have earned it.....

kbshow100: sorry fof you.

Forgt abt culture n age of a thing,he who deserves apology must be apologies,even a kid deserves it once u finds out u hav default his or her code.

It depends on which side of fence you look at things. Disrespect consists of saying and doing things you know will hurt the other person, just because you know it will hurt. Bottom line is if you both say negative comments to each other, it means neither of you respect each other.

Please its simple.
Just Ask Mr. Respect when next you see him. because its the opposite.

Age counts, status in a society counts , a well mannerd person earns it too....

LMAyedun: Too many kids on Nairaland.

yes mr adult. merci beaucoup sire

Its g'na take a good listener, to judge after hearing from both parties... So I'll say if u misunderstood and u dey ask for respect+apology, OYO.

kbshow100: sorry fof you.

Let me wake up 1st

lt is tricky because what l may regard disrespectful is nothing for d other person. Like in Kenya most kids don't greet even if na ur neighbour pikin, they just walk pass you & often wish l was back in Nigeria so l can garnish their heads wit a knock!

eh

Respect is reciprocal...

Be ryt back..
