प्रति‍ष्‍ठा और सम्‍मान

Explanation:
1. प्रति‍ष्‍ठा और सम्‍मान में फर्क यह है जहां प्रतिष्‍ठा अर्जित की जाती है, सम्‍मान अन्‍य की ओर से मिलता है।
2. जहां प्रतिष्‍ठा आदमियों के साथ चीजों की होती है, सम्‍मान सिर्फ आदमी या उसके पद इत्‍यादि को दिया जाता है। जैसे कोई अखबार प्रतिष्ठित हो हो सकता है, सम्‍मानित नहीं।

Example sentence(s):

वह एक सम्‍मानित व्‍यक्ति हैं और एक प्रतिष्ठित अखबार के संपादक हैं।

can be bestowed/awarded or not

Explanation:
Pratishtha is built over a period of time. Samman, though also used interchangeably with pratishtha, is also something that can be "awarded". Pratishtha cannot be bestowed.

The difference is that Pratishtha is earned by oneself over a period of time, while Samman is is awarded or bestowed upon a person, by others.

Status and Reward

Explanation:
Society honors with either Status or with Reward.
Status has no certification, where Reward is a certificate, may be in any form.
As intelligent person gathers rewards and gets status. A learned person may not have any reward but still he poses a status in society.

Example sentence(s):

Ramanujam was given a very high status in Society but, he died in poverty. Gavaskar earned Status as well as Rewards. Jesse Owen earned lots of rewards but society didn't honored him a status

Reputation is in your hands as it is earned but Samman or respect is given by others. This is main difference between the two words.

Example sentence(s):

He earned/established/gained/acquired a reputation as an entertaining speaker
I respect him very much for his submissiveness.
