Respect can be earned and displayed in many ways. Cultural norms are an important way whereby different stances on respect can be shown in any given culture. How people greet or address each other are usually governed by these cultural norms, but it is only one way to show respect. Western cultures have evolved to adopt rather informal and causal ways of greeting. However, while these approaches might appear informal, they can still convey respect. These informal approaches also challenge strict social hierarchies and promote the value of equality between people of different ages and positions in society.
