Bedeutung
Valuing someone
Kultureller Hintergrund
Respect is tied to the 'du-reformen' of the 1970s. Norwegians stopped using formal titles and 'De' (formal you), but this didn't mean respect disappeared; it just became more about personal integrity than social class. In contrast to Norway's informal equality, respect in Japan is highly formalized through bowing and specific verb forms (keigo). Respect is often associated with individual achievement and 'earning your stripes' in a competitive environment. Respect for elders is a paramount cultural value, often expressed through specific gestures and seating arrangements.
The Preposition Rule

Equality is Respect
In Norway, treating the janitor the same as the CEO is the ultimate sign of 'ha respekt for mennesker'.
