Throughout the world, the common courtesy of giving respect to others is beginning to become uncommon. According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, respect is defined as "A particular way of thinking about or looking at something". This does not mean that to respect a person one should adhere to another's belief system or agree to it. Instead, it means that you do not condemn another person for what they believe in but allow another person to live the life they choose to live, without hurting anyone. Which does not include humiliating another person for what they have chosen to do with their life in any shape, way, or form. Children of coming generations do not know how to be respectful to others because either they have not been taught to respect …show more content…

This act of violence comes from the root belief that in order to restore the Caliphate of early Islam all Muslims must pledge allegiance to the important doctrines of ISIL, but those who "defile" Islam must be purged of apostasy, often with bloody sectarian killings from ISIL. There is nothing wrong with believing that Muslims should have more commitment to their religion (as a parent would give advice to their child), though when ISIL adds that Muslims have no choice but to pledge allegiance to their doctrines or they will be executed is not in any way being respectful to those whom do not choose to live their life as a Muslim within the Middle East. Regarding to the Paris attacks, this form of disrespect toward others belief in religion have also spread across other nations, having others believe in the process that it is alright to cause pain and death to others if you do not agree or approve of others belief systems. If citizens of this earthly world do not respect each other, then these same citizens will end up destroying each other for the childish reason of disagreeing with one another's way of …show more content…

As not hurting others physically or emotionally because one does not approve of whatever it is another person is or does.

Before Sam Clovis exited the stage after he finished answering a question on why he left Governor Perry's campaign to join Mr. Trump's in 2:50 of the 33:06 minute video, Jorge Ramos asked his question to Mr. Trump similarly as journalist Carl on 0:10 began with his question for Mr. Trumps press conference. On 2:45, as Sam Clovis is in the process of exiting the stage to allow Mr. Trump to continue with his press conference, Jorge Ramos begins to ask his question to Mr. Trump, though Mr. Trump ignores his question and says to the crowd "Okay, whose next?". Although Mr. Clovis heard Jorge Ramos' question by giving his attention towards his voice on 2:51 thru 2:53, with Mr. Clovis being farther away to Mr. Ramos compared to Mr. Trump. This form of disrespect is caused when the first person disregards the second for whatever the reason may be, to then make a comment to make sure the second person knows of what has happened and in turn humiliating the second

    This lack of respect comes forwards in ways of permission asking, and explaining how something works instead of letting the person learn on their own (Lee, 6-7). She has shown that there are many ways that other cultures have never had to deal with this social problem unlike the West has. Throughout her chapter she explains how the fundamental value in society should be the respect for the individual. This respect is shown through themes such as child rearing, leadership, and work. The basic resolution is to have respect for individual autonomy and therefore have respect for the individual in itself. She states, we can learn from all these other cultures that have individual integrity/autonomy as important parts within their cultures. Another basic resolution that Lee discussed was the way that respect must be kept throughout generations, as long as it keeps being passed down from parent to child, the respect will always remain in the

    According to dictionary.com, respect’s denotation is an “esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability.” The origin of the word comes from the Latin word respectus, meaning “regard” or an “act of looking back at one.” Therefore, respect translates into valuing, honoring, admiring, and looking up to someone or something by taking care of and sharing kindness with one other. Respect is more than just admiring someone though: It involves trusting someone to choose ethical decisions. For example, why should someone respect a police officer? The po...

  • Should Etiquette Be Taught at School?

    987 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to the ABC News survey, 73 percent of Americans feel manners are worse today than they were 20 or 30 years ago. Although character education is a hot topic in schools across the nation, education in maners often receives scant attention; with growing demands on teaching time, etiquette is rarely a priority. It might be a mistake to ignore the adage that actions speak louder than words, however. Teachers who teach manners said they notice a real difference in students' attitudes, in the way they treat one another, and in their schoolwork. Although some might say that manners are to be taught from the parents, the places children learn to socialize are not only at home, but also at school; it is their second home. A child either learns different moral values from his home or from his school. These days with both of the parents working, a child rarely gets the opportunity to learn moral and social values from home. In the past, although the parents were working, grandparents took care of their grandchildren and taught them important lessons of life, however, this is no longer prevalent as more and more families get unconcerned of teaching manners to young people. Of course not all the parents are failing to teach manners, but it is surprising to see many adults who do not know the correct ways of being respectful. Then how are they to educate their children? Thus, the only way we can ensure our future generation to learn etiquette is by schools.

  • Defining Respect

    563 Words  | 2 Pages

    In three seperate dictionaries, respect is defined as a regard for or appreciation of the worth or value of someone or something. In my opinion, respect goes far beyond this definition. Respect is the cornerstone of the society in which we live. Although many look at respect as simply treating another person or thing with kindness, this word has many different aspects. For instance, I would not give an elder the same type of respect that I would give my peers or myself. Respect is not considered a neccessity in this world but, I can’t imagine a person getting very far in life without this virtue.

    In conclusion respect is wrapped around our day to day lives. A famous philosopher once said “Respect is showing acknowledgement for some ones superiority in a certain field.” You can’t buy, demand, or force people to respect you but you can respect others in order for them to respect you. What people do not understand is that if we use common sense we would be respecting ourselves, respecting others, and respecting property all the time. Respecting yourself, others, and property might not be easy to do but it does have great rewards if you just do it.

  • Origins and Solutions to Jealousy

    What is jealousy? Is it part of any normal relationship, or is it always destructive? The origins of jealousy are not clear. Some believe that jealousy was our solution to mate retention due to our "concealed fertilization" process (Basset 72). While others believe that it is how we compare what we have to what other have and is triggered by "perceived threats to relationships" and is designed to "trigger initial emotional reactions" (Basset 73). What is clear is that jealousy has been a part of the human race for as long as our species has developed social structures. Smith indicates that t here are several types of jealousy ranging from mild to severe when verbal and physical threats come in. When jealousy reaches this stage of intensity, he advises that "you need to get the hell out of there" (qtd. in Jet 2002). This extreme form of jealousy has obviously gone too far, but are there forms of jealousy that are natural or even helpful?

    My culture respects the people and the things that deserve it, but with that said, we also don’t give respect to the people who don’t deserve it. We don’t just respect anyone or anything neither, they have to earn that valuable thing that most people don’t have nor give anymore. This is probably one of the biggest differences between my culture and my society because in my society people don’t know the first thing about respect. The way i see it is that it really is a shame of how my society and these people that live in it can’t show even a little bit of respect for someone or something, big or small. Respect is one of the dying characteristics in this world and my culture has the last of it.

    Behavioral jealousy are actions that occur between an individual who is experiencing envious thoughts and how they internalize and react to the stimuli. Pfeiffer and Wong (1989) “conceptualize jealous behaviors as the detective/protective measures a person takes when relationship rivals (real or imaginary) are perceived. Detective actions include questioning, checking up on the partner, and searching the partner’s belongings” (p.183). Research suggests that behavioral jealousy is used to maintain relationships. Relationship maintenance refers to either positive or negative behaviors that occur between two individuals in order to maintain a healthy communicative balance.

Being polite and respectful at all times with anyone—especially parents and teachers, classmates, friends—is crucial for the way our society develops in the course of time, but where is it that we learn these values?
