( Respect) Respect is esteem for, or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability.

In language like saying excuse me or please and thank you, in effect showing general courtesy.

Human cultures have varied ways of showing respect by bodily actions. In many European cultures, people shake hands. In others, such as in Japan people bow at the waist when meeting.[1] Frequently, gender is a factor in how respect is displayed in bodily behavior. For example, women in many Western cultures traditionally curtsy, whereas men bow.[1]

As a sign of respect in almost any form of the military is a salute. A salute is used by enlistees to show respect to the postition held by officers (and vice-versa; to not return a salute to a subordinate is considered offensive) and by officers to those of higher rank. [2][3] The 21-gun salute is done within the military for funerals of military members and for high-ranking civilians such as the President. [4]
