Basic Trope: Parents are seen as deserving deferential treatment; people who don't render this are called out for it.
- Straight: Alice always shows respects to her parents. She listens to their advice, obeys their commands, always says "Yes sir/ma'am" to them, never talks back to them, and is willing to take care of them when they're old.
- Exaggerated: Alice views her parents as gods and worships the ground they walk on regardless of the things they do to her, good or bad. She would even beat up anyone who even showed the slightest form of disrespect to them or their own parents.
- Downplayed: ???
- Justified:
- Alice's parents are genuinely Good Parents who are doing their best to raise her.
- Alice was raised in a society where children are obligated to show respect to their parents.
- Inverted: Alice hates her parents, talks back to them, disobeys their commands, doesn't speak fondly of them to her friends, doesn't give them credit for raising her, and refuses to take care of them when they're old.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: ???
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: Alice's parents use this trope in hopes of making Alice less rebellious and disrespectful.
- Exploited: Alice's parents feel they can treat Alice however they want and expect her to show them respect because they're her parents who gave her life. Thus, they'll use this trope against her whenever she questions their parenting.
- Defied: Alice refuses to give her parents deferential treatment for whatever reason.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
