As mentioned earlier, there are many values and challenges to personal independence but one of the main ones is making your own decision. Even though going independent sounds hard and a little tough, there are also many values that come along with it. Going independent means you gain more respect. When you start taking in the full aspects of personal independence people start to give you more respect due to you being able to take on such a big responsibility. But having more respect from people also brings on more values and challenges. One value of having respect is that people see you differently. They see you as someone who is responsible and someone who can get things done, and that is a great feeling. Nevertheless having more respect also has challenges. When people have more respect for you they start to have higher expectations. With having higher expectations from someone they start to not expect anything less than their expectations. This can become very hard to maintain. In summary, when going on the path of personal independence, you with start to be respected, but even respect has many values and
Respect is a such a simple concept and a virtue that should be simple to follow. It means treating other people and animals in a dignified manner.

When you move into your own apartment you are an independant adult. (no need to rely on others)
Throughout my life, I have met countless role models (supervisors, co-workers, teachers, coaches, my parents) who push me harder and harder every single day so that I will succeed beyond belief in the changing world of today. Respect is also holding you up to an expectation that gets tougher and tougher because I am pushing myself harder. I will always have respect for all today, tomorrow, and the future
acquire more freedom, but you have a lot of responsibility, and have to be able to know when to use it
Proper respect for others begins by a person respecting their self. Respect is developed by expressing honor, leadership, value, and trust in a person. If everyone respects everyone someday, the world will become a seventh heaven. It is important to be respectful for safety, to abide by the law, because children are influenced by their elders’ actions, and because God says so. Motivation from peers can help a person realize there is always room to improve the level of respect a person exhibits. Respect was, is, and always will be a positive attribute for everyone to strive for in their lives.
As said by Kim John Payne, "Independence isn't doing your own thing; it's doing the right thing on your own". Payne's words express one of the most important ideas in The Juvie Three by Gordon Korman. This is a book about three teens from juvie, Gecko Fosse, Terence
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” (Eleanor Roosevelt). Self respect proves to be a very important character trait because it allows a person to accept who they are without needing the approval and acceptance of others. Self respect is what saves Connor, Risa and Lev in Neil Shusterman’s Unwind.
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.
The Obsession of Personal Autonomy: Is the American fixation of individual freedom a good idea? Or do other cultures around the world know how to make good decisions based on their beliefs? Americans are known around the world for being culturally obsessed with idea of choice. As Americans in our culture we practice our right of self-expression and personal choice in many ways throughout life. From the simple act of deciding what kind of profession we want to pursue for the rest of our lives to the decision of what kind of dress we want to wear on a date.
Life is very much like driving. You are free to choose any one of the many options before you both now and in the future, but not every option will take you where God would want you to go.
When someone is a child, they are cared for by someone. As they grow they are taught how to care for themselves and others. Some people are taught to take responsibility for their actions almost as soon as they say their first words. Once a person reaches high school, it becomes more clear that people expect them to have a certain level of independence. It is vital that people have a strong sense of personal independence when they are adults.
From a very young age, my mother taught me to do things for myself. As I got older and asked her why she encouraged that idea in me, she told me it was because she wanted to be able to know I could take care of myself when she is not here anymore. That is when I understood her reason in why she enforced my independence, instead of depending on her so much. Of course, everyone at one point in their lives was dependent when we were kids, but eventually we all become independent when we reach adulthood. However, I strongly believe in being an independent individual is important, instead of being dependent because before we start to settle down in life, we are by ourselves in search of who we want to be in life.

Respect is showing love, when you love someone you protect them from hurt. It gives comfort to the heart to be with someone who respects you. I gained confidence through being faithful to my marriage and putting my focus on one family. A husband and wife should build each other up, not tear each other down. I have come to believe and stand by the word of God in my marriage and not a day goes by that I do not appreciate my children and especially my wife for treating me as a man I have grown to be.
