I don't respect other person if they are just "older". Age has nothing to do with respect. However I understand that elderly people should be treated with tolerance, because their mind is not working so well and they lived in different times.

I’ve met a lot of old people who I do respect. But also many others...

Should age always equal respect and obedience?
