You start out life in the early stages of school starting at pre-kindergarten or pre-k. From pre-k through 12th grade you have to call your teacher/principal by either Mr., Mrs, or Miss. I understand it teaches respect for your elders, but why is it after you graduate from high school that all changes?
Think about it, first job. You don't call your boss Mr. or Mrs. unless you work in some sort of corporation. You call your bosses by their first names or perhaps a nickname. Another example: College. Depending on what college you attend, it may differ. Community colleges, you can call your professors by their first names, usually. Big name schools/universities, different story. They want you to use your knowledge from when you were just a small child in elementary school through high school. They want you to call them by a professional title like Professor so and so. Not Mr., Mrs., or Miss, it's now Professor.
Then it gets really professional the higher you get. Especially in government. Mr. Mayor, Mr. Congressman, Mr. Governor, Mr. President, etc.. I mean royalty I understand, Prince William, Queen Elizabeth, etc.. But professors and government workers, interesting isn't it?
