*What are your feeling towards respecting others? Do you think everyone deserves respect or respect has to be earned? Explain your answer.
Respect and being respectful is definitely important. To me respect is important because you won't get anywhere in life without it. To me respect is treating other the way you want to be treated. If you want others to respect you then you need to respect them. I also think respect is also shown through your actions. By this I mean that others can interpret s persons manners and level of respect they have by how they communicate with others, choice of vocabulary, and how others react to them as a person. Some one who is disrespectful and doesn't listen or follow instructions probably wouldn't be respected as they would want to be. Respect could be interpreted by choice of vocabulary because some people use inappropriate language in the wrong time and place. Last how others react to them as a person because it shows the difference between a respectful person, and disrespectful person. There are over a thousand ways respect could be shown. Respect could be shown between other people, a community, or even someone having respect for themselves as a person. Respect towards others can be shown by being kind, helping someone in need, or even doing what you are asked of someone. Respect for or in a community could be shown by cleaning up trash around town, or recycling and separating garbage. Last respect can be shown by respecting yourself. Some ways you can respect yourself is dressing appropriately, loving yourself for who you are, and not letting others take advantage of you. My feelings towards respecting others can go both ways. I respect people because as a child I was taught to treat others the way I want to be treated. However, not everyone will respect you back. My mom always told me to kill people with kindness, never steep to there level. In my opinion respect can go both ways, but it definitely has to be earned. I feel respect has to be earned because not everyone in life will like each other; and sometimes you need to find others that will respect you back. Respect is one of the first steps to getting anywhere in life, and you wont get anywhere without it,
ReplyDeleteRespect is when your nice to someone or something else. Respect is definitely important because people can't just go around being mean to everyone they see. Also, if you don't treat someone with respect, the things you say or do might hurt their feelings. Some ways respect is shown is by holding the door for someone walking past, or if they have an idea, dont immediately shoot it down, listen and try to relate. Another way to show respect is torward a teacher. You can raise your hand to ask or answer a question, or you can not talk when their talking. Next, don't give people an attitude if they are just trying to talk and say hi. For example, don't be like "Go away" say hi back. In my point of view, I treat others with great respect. I do this because of the theory, "treat others the way you want to be treated" if a person didn't show me respect, I wouldn't give them mine. Also, If I didn't show people respect, everyone would think I was rude and annoying, so in result I would have no friends.
ReplyDeleteMy feelings torward respecting others is that it's a major lesson to know in life. People need to be able to respect one another, because you wouldn't want someone to treat you badly, or with disrespect. For example if you are talking while the teachers talking, think of his or her point of view. Your trying to teach and people are talking and being rude and holding you up from what you have to do! Would you want people to do that to you? I hope the answer is no.
I think everyone deserves automatic respect, if you know them or not. Basically, it's like the qoute "never judge a book by its cover". If some boy isn't wearing Jordan's like you, don't go up to all your friends and start teasing him for not wearing Jordan's. That's disrespect, because you may not know his living situation (poor, rich). Instead, you should go up to him and say" I like those shoes" , because that's respect.
Sometimes, though, people have to earn respect because they did something wrong to a person and you don't know if you should trust them and show respect to them because the were just so cruel. Respect is a key point that everyone should know, and stick to in life.
I agree with your blog this week. your ideas were great and I also like the ways you used examples to relate the blog. very gooooooood job.
DeleteRespect is a very important thing I our society today. What is re spect? respect is being nice, and caring. going around being jerk faces to people is called disrespect. if you do not show respect to people or your peers, they will not show respect back, no one likes a person that is disrespectful. respect is shown by doing little things like holding a door for someone or even giving someone a compliment. for example telling someone they have nice shoes is respect. everyone should respect each other. even if you don't agree with what someone does or says you don't have to be disrespectful. for example on this blog we have to comment on someone elses blog and even if we do not like what they had to say or how they explained something we have to explain why we don't like it and give them our ideas in a respectful way. Being respectful is how all people should go about things. Being respectful makes you look like a good person and gives you a good reputation. If you are a total jerk face to people no one will want to be your friend. Being respectful is important. Many people don’t realize it but if you are disrespectful to someone they will hate you. Instead of being mean or disrespectful to someone be nice. Being nice and also being respectful to someone can not only make them think you are a nice human being it will make them have a good day. Think of that next time you want to be disrespectful to someone that has never done anything to you.
ReplyDeleteHey Colin, i think what you wrote for your blog this week is great. You explained the definition of respect clearly, and you are able to understand what it is. Also, being respectful DOES make you look good as a person and gives you a food reputation and I agree with you completely. Anyway good job
DeleteColin, your blog this week was awesome. I love how you explained what respect was and gave the example about the shoes. It made me laugh when you said jerk faces :) keep up the good work because each blog is better than the rest.
DeleteRespect is important. Its because it shows tha someone values another as an individual and that he honors the personal rights. He also honers the dignity of the person as a fellow human being. Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone. It is obtained by their abilities qualities or even their achievements. People show it everyday. For example they show there manners or they help out people without being ask and they do things out of respect for someone. Helping an old lady with her bags , helping your mother without being asked, helping the teacher with work , this shows your respect for others. Encouraging someone to try hard in somthing there good at and trying you best at somthing similar is how people show their respect in someones abilities. In my view people respect one another cause its a way to show thier admiration they feel towards someone or they want to led a helpping hand since they like this person. They respect other because their someone the look up to and want to become like. I repect people because I believe its right. To have manners , to respect elders , and be respectful to others its what I was always tought to do. There are times I dont respect people because they dont show respect for me. Respect should be given in everyday life and everyone should be respectful. There are some who arent respectful at all and just rude. To these people I dont show respect to , I believe this is when poeple have to start earning respect. Respect should be giving at all times but there are also times when people have to earn respect. I say this because if you respect someone who does respect you , you could get hurt. An unrespectful person is rude , snotty and beileves their all that and when you respect someine like that , they will walk all over you. Repect is a two way road, if you want respect you have to repect others if not you have to earn there respect.
ReplyDeleteBeing respectful and having respect is really important. I think that everyone needs to have respect because where are you going to get in life without respect? There are many ways to describe respect; one way is to treat people the way you want to be treated. If you are treating someone in a mean way, and you aren’t being nice, why should they be nice to you? Or have respect for you? I also think that it comes from how you act. You should always act like you have respect for one another. For example, you should have respect for a teacher, they are your teacher, and they aren’t there to be your friends so I think that you should respect them. I respect people because if I didn’t respect them, they wouldn’t respect me. The vocabulary is a use of respect to. What you say and what you do should be respectful, because that’s how you are going to get through life. I think that you will get through life if you lead yourself in the right direction, and you are respectful.
ReplyDeleteMy feelings toward respect are you should respect yourself as well as others. Having respect for yourself is very important because if you don’t respect yourself how are other people so pose to respect you. For example, there are girls that don’t have respect for themselves and they think that’s alright. It really isn’t though, it’s not right to put you down or to let other people do it. If you have confidence in yourself and you let people see that you have confidence in yourself, you will get that respect that you want. Also, everyone does deserve to have respect because everyone should believe in there self, and to be comfortable with who you are.
I think your blog this week. You did everything you were suppose to do and you explained it right. I like everything you did. I love your writings I think youre a great writer. keep it up !
DeleteLillian, your blog this week is great as always. You're great at relating topics to situations and I feel that's really important in writing. I agree with your thoughts and feelings on point of view completely. Nothing is more important than respect and you did a great job at explaining that. Love your blog this week!
DeleteIn my opinion, respect is one of the most important things. I believe that respect is what shows that you do not see yourself as the most important person and you do not treat people like garbage. Respect is treating people the way that you would like to be treated. To me, respect is shown by being kind to people and giving a helping hand even when it might not be needed at the time. I treat people with respect because I do not want people to look at me as if I think of myself as higher than the person I am talking to. Also, I would want people to treat me with respect so why would I not? I treat people as the way that they treat me. Last, I would not want someone not to like me just because I have no respect for other people. If I did not have respect for people, they would think that my parents did not teach it to me and might treat them the wrong way. I would not want that to happen.
ReplyDeleteMy feelings towards respecting others is that you should always have respect for people if you do not like them or even if they do not like you. In my opinion, respect is something that has to be earned. I will always respect people because that is how my parents raised me but that might not be the case for other people. Also, if you have no respect for people then people should not have respect for you. Last, respect is for the people who deserve it, not for the people that do not respect anyone else. If everyone had respect, the world would have a lot less problems.
hey Emilee, I loved you blog entry response this week. We definitely has a lot of the same view on this weeks blog. I loved the part when you said " I do not want people to look at me as if I think of myself as higher than the person I am talking to." I loved that because I feel the exact same way. You also said that you feel respect needs to be earned; I think so as well. Last, your closing sentence of your blog. I totally agree that the world would have less problems if everyone learned to be respectful to each other. I was very fond of your blog entry this week, and I loved reading about your point of view of respect, and being respectful <3.
DeleteRespect is definitely one of the most important things in life, next to individuality. It is important because, everybody has feelings and if you want to hurt their's, they have every right to hurt yours right back. If you treat people who deserve to be treated with respect, with respect; YOU would personally get more respect. I believe respect is treating somebody how you would like it be treated, IF they deserve it. There's nothing more irritating than trying to be nice to somebody who is rude to you. It's aggravating and completely unfair. Respect should have to be earned, in my opinion. I personally do not believe every single individual deserves respect. Immature people who do not know how to treat people who deserve respect, with respect; do not deserve it. (in my opinion.) Everybody's different and if somebody doesn't like you, but is mature enough to treat you with respect, you should treat them with respect also. I will always treat even my enemies with respect, but some people may not. If you do not deserve respect, you will never receive respect. I believe respect is what you give out. Once you're able to give respect out, you will most likely be able to get respect back. Many people still do not understand the concept of respect, even the most simple one. "Treat people how you would like to be treated. If everybody followed that statement, many people must not wanted to be treated all that nicely. Respect is truly one of the most important rules/values of life. Without respect there would be not one person on this world with a friend. Nobody would be able to be nice to each other! Respect is an extremely important concept, and everybody should use it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. If someone is disrespecting you or you are disrespecting someone either you or they have the right to do it back because that is how life is. I also agree with how you said respect should be earned not just given to everyone.
DeleteRespect is very important and today a lot of people do not have that.I think respect is how you treat someone and how you feel about them. One of the greatest aspects of respect is treating someone how you want to be treated.It's basically self explanatory. Respect is probably one of the most important values in life that all people should have. If you respect people and are nice to them then you will most likely have more respect because they will admire you or look up to you. Something I have always gone by and will always go by is if you do not respect me I will not respect you, I don't care who you are. If I have a teacher that is always a jerk to me and just tries to make me hate that class than I will have no respect for them. If I get a job and I don't like the boss or he is mean to me I will not have respect for him but I will not disrespect him because I need the job. For example I had a math teacher in 7th grade and he would try to make my life hell when I was in that class. He would always pick on me and me only. One time some other kids were having a spitball war and I was doing my work. He thought I was the one throwing the spitballs and he yelled at me to pick them up,even though they were full of other kids spit. As he yelled at me to pick them up I yelled back and said "I'm not picking those up." Not much after that happened about half way through the school year I changed my schedule because of that teacher. People can show respect by saying Mr or Ms. They can take their hat off when they got into a building or thank a service man when they see one. I think respect has to be earned. Respect is not a privilege. Everyone doesn't automatically have respect. You need to be nice to people and you will get more respect as you go along.

ReplyDeleteRespect is very important, it’s one thing you’ll give and receive with a good feeling. I think it means to be kind to someone, not only someone but to something also. Today a lot of people think it’s okay to walk around with their nose up to everyone. People now at days think being rude will get them far in life. Well that’s not even close to true, that’s being disrespectful. Those are two different things; you can get a lot out of having respect. It doesn’t take that much work to just show a little respect. Just saying please and thank you is a simple way. You shouldn’t have to be reminded to be respect you should just do it. If you want someone to respect you then you much respect them first. It is give and receive progress. I respect people because it is the right thing to do. You will get more out of life being kind then giving the worst attitude to people. You wouldn’t have to hear people 24/7 to be nicer, it’s not hard at all. Now at days the “popular” kids think it’s the worst thing because they want the people below them to listen to everything they say. They want that power but really that makes people think less of them. My feelings toward respect are really strong. I hate seeing someone disrespect their parents are friends. You shouldn’t do it at all like I said before if you don’t want someone to disrespect you then dont do it to them. Everyone does deserve respect because we are all equal. It is only fair and it will have people see that you can be a good person. This wouldn’t start any problems!
ReplyDeleteRespect. It is probably the most important thing we will ever learn in our life. Respect comes in many forms, whether it's respecting others, or respecting yourself. Respecting others means showing kindness. You can show respect and kindness by just saying nice words instead of being rude. Just giving someone a simple smile can really brighten their day. Respect is a two way street, if you want others to respect you, you have to respect them. I definitely think respect needs to be earned. If your constantly rude to a person then you shouldn't expect any respect from them any time soon.
ReplyDeleteRespect doesn't just apply to others, it applies to you too. You need to respect yourself and love yourself no matter what. Before you say something in your mind about yourself, ask yourself this question. Would you want to say this to the little kid in you? Would you want to say it to your younger self? If the answer is no, don't say it to yourself.
If society tells you that you're not good enough or that your not pretty enough, don't listen to them. Everyone is amazing and beautiful in their own way. Society can't always be trusted, don't believe it. Sometimes society says that the only way to be pretty is being skinny, that is not true at all. When society says something that negative, you shouldn't believe it. You are beautiful no matter what they say. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Respect yourself, respect others, and choose kindness. If someone decides to not respect you, just ignore them, stay strong and don't get sucked into their pressure.
Yes, I think that respect is important . Now a days some people don't care they won't respect any one and it makes them ignorenent. I think respect is when you are kind and mindful about things you say or do. Say you were older and you were at a store with your kids and a group of teenagers came into the store and started cursing. That would be disrespectful towards you and your kids. Respect is watching what you do and say around certain people. I respect mostly everyone , but if you want to say something ride to me I'm going to be rude right back to you. I'm not going to be respectful to someone that isn't respectful to me. I feel like it is important to respect other because you don't want someone to be disrespectful to you for no reason so don't do it to anyone else. I think everyone has to earn respect because you shouldn't just get respect if you aren't respectful your self . Some people though you should already have respect for such as your elders. Some people are really rude to everyone and that's mainly because they don't get respect themselves. Some guys are disrespectful to women and want to hit them or cheat on them. I believe that guys that hit girls are just afraid because they can't beat any many so they have to take it out on the female. Another reason why people would be disrespectful to them, and they are tired of you being rude to them when they are always respectful to you. They start to give you a taste of your own medicine.
ReplyDeleteVictoria, I really liked your blog this week. You did an fantastic job and I agree 100% with you. I really liked the example of how guys treat woman. Mainly for the reason that it is absolutely accurate. Some people just need to be treated as they treat people. Great job this week and keep up the good work! :)
