“Whatever Happened to Respect?” Greetings, Elders, and Self-Respect Across Generations

Episode Summary
In this episode of Chillin’ On Da Front Porch, we unpack how respect has shifted across generations — from greetings and honoring elders to boundaries, tone, and self-respect. What older generations see as disrespect, younger generations may see as independence or self-awareness. This conversation isn’t about blaming — it’s about understanding. We explore how respect was taught, how it’s practiced today, and whether the gap between generations is really about manners… or missed communication.
