Abstract: The way we identify ourselves culturally, coupled with how we recognize ourselves personally, greatly influences the level of respect we receive from society and the world at large. The researcher argues that an individual can only receive respect, recognition or honor when they have embraced their identity as self-acceptance and affirmation are instrumental in paving the way for acknowledgement from others. Grounded in recognition theory and informed by the works of esteemed scholars like Axel Honneth, Nancy Fraser, and Charles Taylor; this research aims to construct a conceptual structure that explains the intricate interplay between self-recognition, cultural identity, and external respect gained by individuals. The findings of this study reveal the significance of acknowledging and appreciating unique personal identities, promoting cultural diversity, and confronting institutional disparities. This study emphasizes the utmost importance of cherishing diverse identities within our communities.
