Are you respectful to people "older" than you?

Asked by Shippy (10015points) December 13th, 2012

Our culture may be or might not be different. But we always give a seat on a bus for example, to someone older than us. That would apply to disabled people too perhaps. (Not that I am equating the two).

Our bank queues are always long, as we are an over populated city. So we also move elders forward, to take our place.

I have a natural respect for people who have lived longer. At least to their person. I might not agree, but I would be careful of my choice of words etc., if I did decide to argue.

Do you have respect for elders in your city, town, or home? Or even on a personal level. Or not?
