Definitely. Someone powerful can say the same thing as someone without influence, but people will react completely differently.

Which makes me think respect isn't always about character. Sometimes it's about what people think they can gain or lose from you.
True, but I also think genuine respect exists. There are people you respect regardless of their wealth or position.
Absolutely. Usually because of their character, principles or the way they've treated people over time.
Exactly. A parent, teacher, friend or even a stranger can earn more genuine respect than someone sitting in a powerful position.
Attention, yes. But do you think attention and respect are actually the same thing?
No. Someone can command attention because they're powerful while nobody genuinely respects them.
