It was just something that got me pondering about. Yes, in the workforce, I understand your term "camaraderie". It does suck, when that happens. No body is being disrespectful to me, just something that came to mind , apply to any new comer in their professional field as rookie.
Does that apply to also , with family members or just on workforce environment?
It applies to everyone.
Different groups have different levels of respect at the beginning.
For instance, I start working at my new job. If I had to respect someone, it would probably be the one with the most experience and/or someone higher up (my boss or supervisor). It's probably typical to have some kind of respect for any of your co-workers since they were all there before you and worked longer than you. From there, my respect will either go higher or lower depending on that person. If that person shows laziness, then my respect will go lower. If that person shows a lot of leadership or teamwork skills, then my respect will go higher.
What about family? The same thing applies. Not every family is perfect. Since they're all family, then it's reasonable enough to say that you can respect everyone. Some relatives will be closer to you than others. Those will probably what you have higher respect for. Some may be troublemakers or just rude, and those will have less respect from you.
My experience? It's like I said above. When I started working at my new job working at a video rental store, I showed respect towards everyone because I was new. As time went by, I lost respect in my boss (store manager) because he was always leaving early, calling in to ask people to clock out for him, coming in late, always hitting on women, etc. I gained a lot of respect for my other bosses because they worked hard at their jobs and also made an effort to work with me. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have gotten promoted. The same for co-workers. They were fun, not lazy, were hard-working, etc. I had a lot of respect for them.
What about my family? I have respect for everyone in my family because they all are fun to be with. I play games with them. They communicate with me well. There are a couple people that I have less respect for... because they only act nice when they expect something in return... then turn mean again. :roll:
