I hope so. As a younger male of color, I remember many instances of disrespect because of what I can only imagine was my youth, race, and gender. As I'm getting older, I do see others being more respectful and I've also worked hard to respect others as a basic life rule.
I'm respectful towards the elderly and older people in general (no need to be a senior citizen), but sometimes, I think they can take it for granted or demand it. For example, some parents at my last workplace just assumed that I would bend my schedule to their needs, instead of trying to meet me in the middle. It can be frustrating, especially since I am respectful, but sometimes I end up feeling taken advantage of.
Respect should come with age, but there are lot of older people who are disrespectful and karma does end up biting them.
