The importance of respect is to keep peace and standing, and to make sure that there is distinction between people. It's also to make sure the human race doesn't drive itself to extinction.

Downfall of mankind n moral decay. These r mere words. Different people make judgment on a particular situation using their own moral standards. Hugging n kissing openly is acceptable to some n abhorred by others. Polygamy is perfectly legal in some c'tries n illegal in others. In some c'tries, prostitution is a legal profession. Sometimes these laws n standards coexist esp in multi-racial, religious n cultural c'tries. Coming back to your question. What standards are u using when u posed this question?

equal rights in what manners?

Right and wrong are based on the values dictated by a given society, time and circumstances. \n\nWhat may be considered right in one culture may be wrong in another (women's rights for example). \nWhat may be considered right in one time frame may be wrong in another (slavery for example). \nWhat may be considered right in one situation may be wrong in another (mastur-bation in the privacy of your own home vs in public - Yahoo! Answers doesn't allow you two type out that word whole, try it!)\n\nIt will vary depending on those societal values and mores as well as repercussions from those actions.\n\nUltimately there are some basic beliefs of right and wrong that prevail throughout societies in general though - those become ethics. Even then, there is debate on which values are ethical and which are unethical.

Yes and no.  Yes in that you can take basic psychological ideas(fight or flight, survival instincts, mother/child ideas, primitive responses, fear, anger, love etc...) that apply to humanity and then place them upon a culture superficially to analyze but you have to be careful of context. But you cannot place specific ideas of behavior, religion, rituals, tradition etc., upon different cultures because not only is that imperialism(and assumes your culture is the definition of what culture or normal/acceptable behaviors are) and just plain rude and out of line but inappropriately imposing.  Because each culture is so drastically different with different traditions and rituals that it wouldn't make sense to impose one philosophy upon another: ie...Christianity upon native peoples around the world, Euro-centric upon natives or Africans etc...It is inappropriate and arrogant to assume one idea makes sense for all people.  It's an ideal unrealisitic notion. \nAlso you have to consider economic and cultural systems in place that affect the way people relate as a whole society.  Japan from what I've learned is a group mentality society versus America is an individual mentality society.  They tend to think of the group and the affects upon the group first, and we tend to think effects upon the individual first.  Both have pros and cons.  \nAnd Japan does have a religious or rather spiritual foundation, Buddhism.  It's a brilliant and gentle philosophy that permeates much of their culture subtly but unlike religious dogma, is not obvious and in your face, reminding people of it's existence on a daily basis; There is no guilt by religion.  Because that contradicts the very nature of Buddhism, unlike other religions. Yet I know that shame is a much used idea to encourage modesty and humility amongst Japanese people.   \nSome cultures base their manners, traditions and overall culture upon ideas and history and not just religion or desires for conquest or expansion like many western cultures have.

Not sure if you are referring to the culture of the nursing profession in society or the culture of the patients.  (I am answering in regard to the patients.)  Some cultures have strong beliefs about women being touched or unclothed in a medical setting if the medical professional is male.  Each culture has different beliefs about medical treatments (for example blood transfusions and amputations,) and each culture differs in views on a patient's right to know information, care for the elderly, and on death and dying in general.  So, studying different cultures in terms of the nursing profession could help a nurse avoid embarrassing or offending a patient by unknowingly disrespecting their beliefs.  Anyway, most of it you learn on the job, so just ask people if they have any cultural or religious beliefs that they would like to be incorporated into their care.  People will gladly tell you.

This is something believed by some researchers  in some prestigious univeristies: There are more similarities than differences between cultures.Cultural differences decide the way something is percieved or felt. Surely there is a study of somekind in soem language about this phenomenon

That all depends, if you are starving, respect won't buy you food. Of course, respect is something you can not buy (well maybe from someone who's respect is worthless). Having the respect of someone who you don't respect is also kind of worthless. There is also the argument that having the respect of certain people will make it easier to have money. I would reduce it to the fact that respect and money are not mutually exclusive, and I doubt that you would have to choose ONE or the OTHER.

I dont think both mean out of dignity.\nthe word DIGNITY means some self respect. Ones self respect is lost anything done later on loses its value and effectiveness and no more it can be said to be an act out of ones dignity.\nThis ca apply only to those who are still left with self respect and then they lose their temper and misbehave etc.\nAlso I would like to add that even those who sell their bodies \nare respectable and it is their profession and you cannot misbehave with them too.They too have their DIGNITY and you cant enrage their modesty. They agree to have sex only under certain terms and conditions and with those whom they agree to and at places pof their choice etc . Just because they \nfollow their profession to earn their livelihood their dignity is not lost. I would say it is those who go after those that sell their bodies who have lost their dignity and not those who are selling since they are doing a GREAT SERVICE to the SOCIETY and NATION.\nLike sewage water needs a course for the sewage water to flow in society too those who are sex maniacs and perverts and those who want sex but are not getting it elsewhere or not satisfied with their own legally married wife etc these people who satisfy their urge are doing a service so that bad water doesnot spoil the good water that is bad people do not spoil the good sicety.\nSame way why blame only drug addicts what about those who sell the drugs\nWho is a greater sinner my dear.

Personal respect is being mindful and sensitive that others don't do, feel, think or believe exactly the same way you do and learning to adapt, live, and be civil to thoes people.  In the work environment this means having a professional demeanor and not crossing certain boundaires.  Making ethnic jokes would be an example of crossing this boundary.  So would crass sexual jokes or inuendos.  Just do the best at your job and concentrate on that and you should do well.

Religion aside, many cultures believe doing good is acting in ways that benefit others besides yourself, and treating others as you may expect to be treated, and not necessarily needing an explicit reason for kindness.  It can only feel right.

It differs with religion and country.\n\nI've noticed that some countries (in the western area) usually send their elders to a "nursing home" or similar. They don't have time to care for them or can't afford a caregiver. They are usually dismissed and cast aside as if their opinions don't matter because they're aged. They are sometimes taunted and played pranks upon by younger people. I'm not saying everyone does it. As in the question, it's generalized.\n\nHere in the east and in Christianity in general, we hold elders in high regard. Usually, they stay with their immediate family. They are the wise ones we turn to in time of problems. They are highly respected and we usually bow or press their hands upon our foreheads as a sign of respect upon meeting. We never shout or speak in high tones of voice. We stand up when they enter the room. Usually, their opinions matter most in discussions. They are most respected because they have gone through a full life. They know more than we can ever know. Again, I hope nobody takes offense.\n\nI hope I helped!

You could try typing 'religious etiquette' into a search engine. Or 'religious observations.' Travel guide books could be a good source too: the example you gave might, perhaps, be elaborated on in a guide book to Thailand. Lots of these guides are available online.

There are obvious cultural differences that exist between peoples, such as language, dress and traditions, there are also significant variations in the way societies organise themselves, in their shared conception of morality, and in the ways they interact with their environment. It is debatable whether these differences are merely incidental artefacts arising from patterns of human migration or whether they represent an evolutionary trait that is key to our success as a species. By analogy with biodiversity, which is thought to be essential to the long-term survival of life on earth, it can be argued that cultural diversity may be vital for the long-term survival of humanity; and that the conservation of indigenous cultures may be as important to humankind as the conservation of species and ecosystems is to life in general.
