This sounds almost about animal kingdom, where a animal respect the other by the power or force they have.
Unfortunately most people are animals, not really civilized, and just understand power in a way or another. Even than not psysical power, but other forms of power, like money, influence, leadership power, property or psychologic influence/imponence.
People complain about the world be violent, with wars, destruction, unjustice, but they forgot they are quite the same or worse. Most people would destroy the world very easily if they had power. The world it's just still stand because we have a thing, almost a science, called diplomacy, with the intention to save humanity from thenselves.
It will be no surprise if such animals (humans) in future became just pets of supercomputer machines with advanced artificial intelligence.
