obeisance

His “gruff” father had little time for such infantilizing obeisance and would resist as best he could.

But the demands for obeisance from everyone around him, foreign and domestic, aren't new.

They were flesh-and-blood human beings, fallible like all of us, and nowhere were these imperfections more apparent than in their obeisance to neoliberalism — that is, free-market capitalism.

But “Saturday Night” and the “Ghostbusters” reboots show an obeisance to his father’s legacy that represents a step backward.

But its apparent obeisance to a few thousand of America's wealthiest producers in the commodity crop business, while cutting food aid and conservation funding, has also drawn criticism from both left and right.
