They are mostly interchangeable, however there is a slight difference. 'The two job roles differed from one another in many respects' - this is essentially saying they differed in many 'ways'. It is a more general and less concrete way of saying 'aspect' 'The two job roles differed from one another in one main aspect' - this is saying that there is a specific part/element/feature/aspect that is different. E.g. 'The current economy is struggling in many respects' vs 'The current economy is struggling with regards to three specific aspects' Tricky one! Hope this helps :)

Yes, ‘respect’ , often the plural ‘respects’, refers to the ways in which you see something or deal with something : ‘the two situations differ in many respects’ , ‘the two [people] are similar in many respects’. ‘In this one respect the situation is different to that we dealt with before’. The situation or the person has characteristics that can be identified by us. ‘Aspect’ also refers to the way you look at or perceive something, but is more definitive : ‘there are aspects of the situation that have not yet been addressed’ , ‘if we look at it from that aspect, it seems a lot better’, ‘there are some aspects of his character I find confusing’. It is our perception of the situation, person, etc that defines these aspects. In some cases the two are interchangeable : ‘from some aspects the situation appears manageable’ , ‘in some respects the situation appears manageable’. You can see the distinction here : aspects are the ways you look at the problem, respects are the intrinsic characteristics or properties of the problem. In practice one or the other word is usually more appropriate, but it really doesn’t matter that much !

Hi there! Respect is something that you can feel towards someone else. It is defined as, "a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements." In simpler terms it is a feeling of approval and admiration towards someone because of something that they have done. You will often hear the phrase, "Respect is earned, not demanded," meaning that somebody has to work hard to gain that approval and admiration from you. An aspect is a particular part or feature of something. For example, "One aspect of the film that I really enjoyed was the soundtrack." Respect can also mean the same as aspect in that it can also refer to a particular part or feature of something I hope that this helps!

Respect: a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something. "The student had a lot of respect for the Professor" Aspect: A feature of something. "They studied every aspect of the question." Sometimes "aspect" and "respect" may have similar meanings, like a part of something: "Our proposal differs from theirs in one important aspect. [=respect]" :)
