*Do you think respect is important? What do you think respect is? How id it shown? In your view why or why not do you respect people? *What are your feeling towards respecting others? Do you think everyone deserves respect or respect has to be earned? Explain your answer.
Respect is one of the most important characteristics of a person. I think respect is very important. Do I think everyone deserves respect? Yes, but until they treat you poorly, and show you no respect. If a person shows you no respect, then why would you respect them? I believe in respecting others. I treat everyone nicely. I don't do it for a reward or because I'm forced. It's usually just the right thing to do. A lot of people like me because I treat them with respect. I'm glad who my friends are, but if I wasn't respectful I wouldn't have them. Why would I want that? Of course some people don't show others respect, but that doesn't give you an excuse to do the same. I feel people believe that. In conclusion respect is a big part of life. you need it for friends, family, and even a career. Why would you hire a person with no respect? Treat others with respect and hopefully they'll return the favor. Treat others how you want to be treated and others will like you more than a person without respect. Respect is important, don't take it away from others, it made me who I am today.
ReplyDeleteRespect. This word is honestly much than just a word to me. Respect, I feel, is one the most important things in world. I think respect for someone is just being nice and polite to someone. I think that it could ruin someone's day if you do not respect them. Respect can be shown in many ways. Whether it's picking up a pencil or paper that someone dropped or giving a compliment to them. Sometimes, keeping to yourself and not talking to them can give respect, if you don't like them.Generally being nice to people is showing respect. I have very strong feelings about respecting others. I used to get made fun of a lot, so I know how it feels to be on the opposite side and I do not think anyone deserves that feeling ever. Not only that, but my parents taught me to always be nice and respectful, so when you are taught that at such a young age, it kind of sticks with you throughout life, I guess. I always feel so rude if I don't say thank you for everything. Being respectful is not hard at all and honestly, becomes a habit after a while. I think everyone should start out with respect, however, if you do anything to betray that respect, you either won't have it anymore or you will have to earn it back, which will most likely take quite a while. Basically, respecting others is very easy and everyone should respect each other.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Ashley that respect is one of the most important aspects of life. Without out respect there would be twice as much hatred and bulling towards one another. And do simple little gestures can turn someones bad day right around.
DeleteI agree with you 100% I also see where you're coming from! When be people are disrespectful they deserve to lose respect and having to earn it back. It's nice to see we are on the same page..
DeleteI fully agree that respect is something that everyone should have unless they give a reason for it to be taken away. Also I agree upon your thought of having a chance to earn back your respect even when you have lost it.
DeleteWhen we were little our parents and teachers taught us “to treat others the way you want to be treated.” Now that we’re older they call it respect. Respect is treating others with kindness, and appreciation for their actions and words.Respect is everywhere you look. It doesn’t just have to be saying please and thank you, or giving compliments. You can show respect in the simplest ways by inviting someone thats sitting alone to sit with you at the lunch table, or listening while others are speaking. These simple tasks can show of that you have a multitude of respect for someone. I believe that everyone deserves respect. No one should be treated differently than those who may look or have different interests as you or your friends. But I do believe that if you don’t treat someone or have the same level of respect for everyone, than how you are respected should be altered. Respect in not just something that’s given to someone because of their ranking in a social class. Whether their quarterback of the football team or captain of the debate team everyone one should be treated with the same amount of respect. I don’t “judge a book by it’s cover” once I meet a person I treat them with the level of respect and dignity that they treat others with and how they act. If a Junior was acting like a two year old I obviously wouldn’t treat them with the same amount of respect as a mature Sophomore. Respect is important because it shows how much appreciation you have towards a person. So the next time you meet someone new give them a helping hand and treat them with the same amount of respect as anyone else, as long as they treat you with that same amount of respect as anyone else too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! It depends on how someone acts to determine how much respect you give.
DeleteJamie, I agree with most of what you are saying. I like how you say that no one should be treated differently because they may look different or have different interests. Although, I believe that no matter what level of respect someone gives me, I will always try to be the bigger person and still give them respect as a person. I also like your comparison between the football quarterback and debate club captain. It shows that no matter who you are or associate with, you should be treated with the same level of respect.
DeleteRespect is one of the most important things to me. To me, I think respect is when you appreciate, look up to someone and talk to them nicely. When you respect them, you care about what they think and appreciate what they have to say to you. Respect can be shown in many of ways. For example, when you meet an older person, you give them respect. You give them respect by looking up to them, not being rude and using your manners. Another example is, you have respect for your teachers because they teach you and help you understand things. Also, my view on respecting people is you should respect everyone. You should respect everyone because when you respect someone, they respect you. I feel like when you respect someone, they treat you with the same respect you treat them with. I think everyone does deserve respect but they have it earn it. Nobody should not ever be respectful to someone, but I feel like everyone should still have to deserve and earn respect by people. If they are a bully, they should not have respect, but you’re still kind to them. You need to prove yourself to others to earn respect. Nobody just meets someone and just seeing them can tell you if they respect you. You need to earn and prove it.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Your 100% right in my opinion! Respect is something that you clearly know. I respect everyone because of people like you. You show respect to others and are kind all the time. Keep it up and I will do the same.
DeleteI totally concer . Respect is never given , people have to be proved worthy of it first , in order to receive it . Beautiful word usage by the way . It made your opinion much more compelling
DeleteI think respect is very important and should be a basic human quality. I believe that no matter who you are or what you've been through, you should respect everyone and everything around you. I think respect means being a polite, kind and decent human being. It's not that hard to respect people if you just use common sense and decency. Respect should be something that comes genuinely and not something that you have to struggle to find within yourself. In my opinion, everyone deserves respect. However, sometimes respect needs to be earned as well. For example, when I first joined the football team, I felt that I had to work hard to earn the respect of my fellow upper class men teammates. On the other hand, I knew I needed to show them respect in order to earn their respect. Of course, there are different types of respect, but in general it is still the same basic concept of showing others the treatment that I would like to receive. I have been taught by my parents not only to respect others but to respect myself in every situation. The way I carry myself and behave around other people is a reflection of my family and my character. In order to show others respect, I must first respect myself and my family.
ReplyDeleteTrev, I agree with you completely. Respect honestly should be a common sense and decency. It should be something that just comes to you naturally. I like how you said you respect yourself and family before anyone else. Respecting yourself is extremely important!
DeleteRespect is one of the most important words in life. Respect is something that everyone needs to have. If not, what world are we living in? It is all about respect. Respect makes you a good decent person. You have to respect everyone and everything around you. I respect my parents for example. I respect them because they love and respect me. They are always by my side. So, I respect them. If I get mad or upset, I do not take it on someone else. I still have my respect. People deserve respect. Everyone does. I treat others the way I want to be treated. That is the way I do it in life. I am just respectful in general.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you Luigi, everyone should always show respect, its always a bad day when you see someone think they deserve respect when all they do is disrespect people.
DeleteRespect . This word is a very important factor in life . Respect to me means being thoughtful, inclusive and open minded to all. Respect means treating everyone equally. It means recognizing that every individual is a person of worth. Respect means accepting others without judgment, and valuing the unique backgrounds, talents and abilities every person has. Respect also means thinking about how your own actions can affect others. It involves making a conscious decision to act in a caring, positive manner through your verbal and non-verbal behavior. There are two reasons why I respect people . One is because , when it comes to women , it shows an act of chivalry . Which lacks in society now and days . The reason for this is to let women know they are still respected . That their advice and opinions do matter to a lot of extents . The other reason , the main reason , is because its nice to treat people with respect . Why would you want to be rude , hurt someone feelings and make them feel less than what they are ? I feel respecting others is a very crucial detail in your success and path in life . If you never respect anyone , you wont get anywhere in life . Life is a give and take relationship . You give respect , you take it . At some point in time , you have to realize there comes a time when you cant just keep taking without giving . I think everyone deserves respect . I feel this way because yes , people need to earn it but even the people that don't , it would be nice to know that you were still nice and respectful to those who weren't . Be the bigger person . Don't stoop down to their level . Know when things they say and do are foolish and when there not . Don't accommodate yourself with all the nonsense people have within . In summary , respect is something everyone needs and in order to make people give you the respect you long for , you have to show respect not only to people you want but to everyone . Respect them mentally , physically and emotionally at all times .
ReplyDeleteZahmere, I agree with you 100%. You should always respect people no matter who they are. Great job.
DeleteTo me, respect is very important. Respect means thoughtfulness. If you are thoughtful then you are respectful. I feel that you should treat others the way they want to be treated, even if they don't respect you, you respect them. Respect has to earned but sometimes it is just nice to give people respect. For example, say someone is having a bad day or looks sad, you should ask how they are doing and if they say to leave them alone respect their personal space. Sometimes when people are feeling down, they want to be alone. I know sometimes I do. People have so many ways they show respect. Whether it's saying hi, asking how you are doing, or helping you. The littlest things are respect. Everyone at some point in their life has been respectful. It is just something you should automatically do. I know sometimes that giving respect is hard but it is the right thing to do. You should always be the bigger person and give respect even when they don't give it to you. By doing this, you are showing them that even though they don't give you respect it doesn't bother you. That is what respect means to me. Remember everyone deserves respect and you should be the one who gives it to them.
ReplyDeleteRespect is one of the most defining things of a person and is very important. Respect is the way you treat other people around you. Respect is shown either by being very unassertive around a person of a higher authority, or very friendly to someone that is of lower authority to you. You respect people on mostly three things, one is whether they deserve respect, if they don't respect anybody, they don't deserve respect. The second thing is if they are very respectful and of a higher authority of than you. The third reason is if you have very different views on major things, it isn't right to not respect who has different views than you, but unfortunately that is how our society mostly is. You should always respect someone unless they don't respect you, respect is always earned, and some people haven't found out how to earn it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you charlie. Respect has to be earned. Some people think they are able to bypass being respectfull and they need to learn how to be repsectfull.
DeleteRespect should be earned. And I agree with u too mike that u shouldn't be able to bypass it and people think they can.
DeleteRespect is one of the most important things in my life. Respect is showing that you care about what others say. respect is also listening to others and not talking over people. To me respect can make your life very easy or very hard. If you have respect for others you will be liked by many. Having respect can also help you obtain jobs. The more respectful you are the more opportunities are opened to you. Higher ups will like you more if you are respectful to them. I think that respect has to be earned. If you are not respectful why should you be respected? Treat people the way you want to be treated. If you want respect, give respect.
ReplyDeleteI agree, respect is something earned, not a given. If anyone wants to have respect, they should give respect. It's sort of a good karma, bad karma scenario. Good job.
DeleteIn order to be respected one must first respect the respecter. A word By Rory McFadden. Any way if you want something good you do something good.

I think respect is the most important thing in life. Respect is the way you treat other people. Its also the admiration for someone or something. I treat everyone I meet with respect. I do this because I treat everyone the way I want to be treated and that's respectfully. I think being respectful is the right thing to do. Think everyone deserves respect. There is some instances where you have to earn respect. Like if you join a new sports team you have to prove yourself before people will start to respect you. Respect is the most important thing in life. If you are respectful the n you will be respected back.
ReplyDeleteRespect is one of the most important keys to life. what do I think of respect? I think respect means to show kindness and understanding. Respect is the apposite of rude. My whole idea of respect is as long as you give me respect ill give it right back but, if you're up in my face screaming at me I surely won't be the nicest person out there. In all honestly I think people should earn there respect because some people get handed it to them for being disrespectful. Yes there are people out there who do deserve it right away but that's if you haven't been rude once in your life, always nice and greets everyone with a positive attitude but, I do look at it as a more earning type of situation.
ReplyDeleteI think respect is a matter of human judgement on trust. When u respect some one that means u in a way trust them and their judgement. I believe respect is earned not passed on or givin. If u gave respect out as a present then u would respect people who don't deserve it. Respect is like trust because if u trust everyone then you will most be used as a pawn and end up getting your feelings hurt. And from this u will most likely learn not to trust others as much which is good but also bad. This is bad because your judgement on someone will be more strict and even too strict and could not respect someone you should.
ReplyDeleteI think the beginning of this is awsome!!! You're right about what respect is.
DeleteRespect is a very important quality for a person to have. Respect is giving off comfort and kindness to one another. If you respect someone and they respect you, you most likely feel comfortable around each other. It's shown by being polite to others. You usually use compliments and manners when you are being respectful but respect has many different ranges. I personally respect people because it is the right thing to do. Not only is it the right thing to do, it makes you look like a better person and honestly, who wants to be a rude person? I feel like you should automatically respect someone. The only time a person should not be respected is if they are rude or being disrespectful. Again, I think that everyone should get respect. The only time that a person should need to earn respect is if they lose your respect personally. No person should be disrespected unless they did something to deserve it.
ReplyDeletegood job
DeleteRespect is something that needs to be shown and used in everyday life. Respect in my opinion is an important quality that all human beings should obtain in there life sooner or later. What respect does is show the kindness and admiration of your superiors and just an average person. I for example make sure to show all my teachers,friends, and family my respect because at the end of the day you are treated the way you treat others. I strongly believe that respect should be shown to anyone unless he or she gives you a reason not to. Even then you should still show some sort of respect for them. Respect is a word that has a strong impact on peoples lives and your own so try to use that word as much as you can.
ReplyDeleteDo I think respect is important? Yes, respect is extremely important. Without respect there wouldn’t be any humanity. In my eyes, respect is treating others how they treat you.Respect is being kind to your elders and helping them with simple things. Respect is treating people with chivalry. In my view, I feel that I am very respectful to others. To me, I liked to be viewed as kind hearted and respectful. I sure know when someone is rude to me, I don’t take it to lightly.
ReplyDeleteI feel like from the start, you should always be respectful. It’s an incredible first impression. As humans, it should be in our first nature to respect others. I do not feel respect has to be earned, but I do believe that it could certainly be lost. For example, when you first meet someone, don’t you almost always shake their hand in respect? They didn’t earn it though, you just assumed they would be respectful back. If that person was to look at your hand in disgust rather than graciously accepting your act of respect, you would most likely no longer want to treat this person nicely, or respectfully. This shows how someone doesn’t necessarily earn your respect but can lose it.
i disagree with you about the earning respect part. How can they automatically earn your respect they must show they want it. My opinion is that they must show they deserve it and then it will be earned
DeleteAsking me if respect is important is like asking if a dog has four legs. Respect is extremely important to have any kind of relationship with anyone. Without respect everybody would just be disgusting and vicious human beings. I think respect is not being rude to your elders, don't mistreat people and be in-human. Most important treat people how you would like to be treated. Which comes down to why i respect people. I would not want to mistreat somebody if i wouldn't want that happening to me. I respect people also because i wouldn't want people to think I'm a rude kid that doesn't care. My feelings toward respecting others is mandotory no matter if you like them or not. I do believe that respect has to be earned. For example if you meet a new person you don't know if they will double cross you and do you wrong. I believe that they must first show it and believe they care. You must always show respect but truly respecting and having gratitude for that person must be earned.

DeleteRespect is very important. Having respect for others is the right thing to do. If you respect other people you can get far in life. Everyone will be your friend. Even if you don't like someone, you should still have respect for them. No matter who they are and what they do. For example, applying for a job. You meet up with the boss and you notice he is very mean. If you treat him rudely, you won't get the job which means you'll be broke. Basically, if you don't have respect for anyone your life would be a fail. You will be a failure. Respect others and you will get respect in return

DeleteRespect, that’s one I haven’t heard in a while. Let me, in the beginning, be real blatant. I personally think respect is something that needs to be earned, and not everyone can rightfully say they deserve it. Respect is a way to let someone know you accept them as the way they are, whether you agree with them or not. Now there are key ways to show that you respect someone. The simplest is being straight forward about it, and verbally telling said person “I thoroughly accept you”; although no one ever does such a thing that is as blatantly put as a verbal agreement. Most people show respect by accepting ideas a person puts out, or even just listening to them and responding lets a person know that you at least care enough to listen. Now, respect should be earned, not a given; however, a person deserves respect until proven otherwise. Although that sounds contradicting, hear me out. When you first meet a person, and don’t know how they are personally, you should always treat them with respect. This gives them the indication that you are a person who accepts them right of the bat. However, if the person becomes too comfortable with the given respect, and shows themselves as one who acts obnoxiously and rudely compared to how much you can take from a person, I feel the respect from you show not be given. Otherwise, you show respect for that person when they act in a nonsenseable way. Respect is all about treating someone they way you hope for them to treat you, as simple as it is. It’s sort of an eye for an eye kind of trade off in our modern world. Personally, I show respect to people in a quick sense, but since I’ve seen many different personalities of others, I tend to find out whether someone deserves respect or not in a short amount of time. However, I feel that should not be the case in all scenarios.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good answer. I completely agree with what you said, especially that not everyone deserves respect.
DeleteIt is very important for people to have respect. Without it, relationships and communities could not be successful. To me, respect is no matter what their social ranking, how they look, or how old they are, treating everyone equally. It can be shown by being kind and having an open mind about people. For example, if there is a kid that is not very athletic, and you play basketball, you should not be mean to them. They could be a very nice and smart person. A specific quote "Don't judge a book by its cover" sums this up very well. If there is a new kid at your school, go over and talk to them. Do not be embarrassed to do this because no one else is. My opinion is that everyone deserves some amount of respect, but for that level to be high, you must earn it. You can do simple things to earn someones respect. When someone drops their stuff, help them with it. You do not deserve a lot of respect if you are laughing at them. Overall, you only deserve respect if you give it to others.
ReplyDeleteI think respect is important because it makes people who they are. I think respect is how you treat someone and if you are nice to them and how they treat you because you are supposed to treat someone the way you want to be treated. It is shown by how you treat someone and what they do in response to it. If someone was nice to me would probably be nice to them depending on who it is and what they have done in life. I respect people because it is the right thing to do and I was taught that is you re good, good things will happen to you. My feelings towards respecting others are that if you respect someone they should respect you back. I do not think everybody deserves respect because if they did something wrong then they are basically like they don’t respect anything and think everything is a joke to them. I also think that respect has to be earned because if you do something and someone is impressed with it then they will have a higher level of respect for you then what they had before. Those are my personal feelings on respect.
