I've heard that phrase many times from Pakistani people.
Do they listen to the military more or the government?
Noone breaks laws in Cantonment areas.
People abide by the laws there because the consequences of doing otherwise are grave. Outside the cantonment they deal with police officers that can shooed off with mere Rs 20, whereas the MPs usually don't budge unless someone's a officer. It's more a case a better law enforcement, just like when a normal Pakistani who litters at home turns into model citizen the moment he lands at JFK airport. So does New York city have a danda, no they have laws that are enforced.

I wouldn't litter even if I knew I could get away with it!

That's education and years of conditioning. You would litter if you were conditioned different. I for example let the education overcome the conditioning when it comes to littering, but many don't get education over here. I got a pretty good education when compared to a lot of other Pakistanis, but still the conditions does try to convince the education to compromise. The change will start when enough people are educated and it'll take time. You can't eat the biryani without someone actually preparing it.

I asked this question to my cousin once (Has a BA degree in economics or something)
He was driving along, I asked why doesn't anyone in the cars wear seatbelts, his response "lack of education"

I asked him why you aren't wearing one LOL.
That's lack of regulation. Fine people ass(stop the bribery first) and people will get seat belts for their 20 year old Mehrans. What if a cop sees you not wearing a seat belt or using the cell phone while driving, he pulls you over. People will get fined for 4-6 months then they'll get conditioned.
Its a vague question , because people either have respect for others or not . Its not a gender specific thing . If you are talking about atrocities against women then its more to do with the environment someone is brought up in and the way he/she treat weak .
You have to define the word 'Respect' a bit more please .
