It is a reminder to the everlasting presence of G'd. By wearing it a Jew is supposed to make a physical distinction between himself and G'd and therefore aware of his humility towards the holy and his shortcomings.

(Only men wear them because according to Jewish tradition women don't need them because they are supposed to be 'closer to the Divine in a spiritual way' )

Are hats disrespectful?

Hats on , hats off. If you are Jewish, men should be wearing a yarmulke in Synagogue[ or all the time if thy are Orthodox ], if you are Catholic , it's hats off in church for men. Catholic women used to have to wear some sort of headcovering in church, but not any more.I actually had a nun pin a kleenex on my head with a bobby pin one day. Things change . Hats off inside are generally considered courteous. Of course , yarmulkes are always acepptable anywhere for Jewish men.
