The premise of this question is fundamentally wrong. Part of being respected is being liked. Only people who like the other person can truly respect them objectively. It is our nature's ability to respect people we like. Respect is like some kind of boundary that other people follow. To follow this, we need to be somewhat attached to the other person to actually feel the boundary. In my personal opinion, there are just a few people in my surroundings who actually know what respect is. I believe that certain individuals are not able to feel respect towards other people. Sometimes being assertive towards others really applies. We should create an environment where we like each other in our own individuality and respect individuality. Violence is just a tool of power for people who are too weak to deal with situations in a peaceful and not in harmfull way.
