*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.
I think that respect is very important when it comes to attitude towards other people. I think that if respect wasn’t important that this world would be insane because no one would respect each other. What I think respect is that I think it is how you act towards other people if they are better than you or lesser than you. I respect people that respect me but you should always respect your elders because they have been here longer than you and are older. I think the only people I wouldn’t respect are people who don’t respect others like if you don’t respect someone why should any else respect you? I don’t understand why sometimes people think that respect is such a hard thing to do it really isn’t. Respect is shown from the smallest acts to the greatest things. For example a small act that shows respect is thank you or you’re welcome because it lets the person know you acknowledge them. A big act can be like saluting to a marine knowing that you respect them for what they did for you in the war.
ReplyDeleteI think the way I respect others is perfectly fine. I think that respect needs to be earned not there because if it is there that person doesn’t have to respect you because you just gave it to them so they might not think it needs to be given back. IF someone respects me I know and if they do it before I do it to them then they get it right away because treat others the way you want to be treated. The only people who really get respect already are elders and people of authority because they are there putting there lives at risk and if you don’t respect them I don’t know who needs to be respected right away.
Respect is how you feel others including yourself should be treated. I love the fact that you talked about how it needs to be earned because if you just give it the other person might think they don't need to return it. Your also right about respecting our elders. I mean they have been here longer than us and they try to teach us the right way to live. Everything you have said I completely agree with.
DeleteI think that respect is important because it shows you how to be polite and considerate to others. Respect means to me is that you can listen to other without being rude and obnoxious to that person. It is shown when you put other first than yourself, when you something for that person with kindness in you heart or what other emotions that compiles you to help. I feel that respect is important because if there was no respect from anybody there would be anarchy with in ourselves and outside ourselves. My feeling about respect is that if you can respect other I respect you and is should be the other way around too. For respect is something great to have but it is terrible if you lose that you lose all kindness for that person and they become like a complete stranger. Respect can go two ways it is either earned or lose you can deserve respect but I think respect should always be earned throughout hard work and friendship. Respect is like the most fragile glass in the world if you break it, it is hard to get back if broken. For example I feel that soldiers should have the highest respect because some of them risk their own life to protect us from almost every thing. Sometimes respect can fall right through but you just got to get back up and keep moving forward because the will be others that will respect you for who you are.
ReplyDeleteHe is right. Respect is very important. Some people may not respect you for who you are. U can't make everybody in the world respect you for who you are. Everybody is different in this world everybody has a different opinion about you.
DeleteDo I think respect is important? Yes I do. I think you should always respect someone even if u may not fell like they respect u. You should never not respect someone. I think respect is when you treat somebody in a nice way not yell at then or get angry at them when they tell you to do something. You should never treat anybody in a rude way. You should never disrespect anybody in any way. Always treat a person how you would want to be treated. Why I want to respect people because I want to be respected back. If I get respect back I will respect you back. I always respect everybody. No body should be treated different. Everybody should be respectful and always be generous to everybody even if you don't know them that good.
ReplyDeletei agree because Respect is important to me because without life would be horrible. I believe in the golden rule treat others the way you like to be treated.
DeleteRESPECT, I think respect is really super important. Without respect people in the world wouldn't have matters. Thats why its important. What i think repesct is, i think its something that someone says or does to be proper. Which means that someone does something so they don't have to be wrong. Thats what I think it means to be respectful. For example like if your meeting your friends parents then it will be respectful to say hello and shake the fathers hand. It could be shown all around the world some ways its shown is by saying Sir or Ma'am. Saying that is really respectful espically if you don't know the person. In my veiw i respect people because its what my mom taught and you'll get far in life if you respect people. I think respect has to be earned because if someone is not respecting you they don't deserve respect back. Those people who do respect you deserve to have it because they respect you, but hats just me. Other people in the world think different because if people don't respect you they might still give that person respect.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ish because ish gives a really good example. He says that when you meet friends parents its respectful to say hello. That's a really good example because it shows your being kind and showing curtsey. Also I agree with him when he says that respect should be earned. Because I someone doesn't show respect then why should they get respect back?
DeleteI think respect is important because you need it to get anywhere in life. There's a saying called "treat others the way you want to be treated." If you don't treat others with respect that makes you look a real jack face to some other people. When you apply for a college, you need to be respectful to the recruiters or they'll think you don't have what it takes to join there school. I have two cousins that go to major colleges. My cousin Anthony goes to Georgia Tech and my other cousin Megan goes to Penn State. My cousins friend Kenny goes to west point and his other friend plays football for Monmouth. They all had to be respectful to there colleges staff. My feelings toward respecting others is that its easy just some times you have other opinions and It doesn't come out so nice. I think everyone deserves some respect but the rest has to be earned.
ReplyDeleteI think respect is very important, it is important because it should be given to those who deserve it and is something we need to learn to have within ourselves. Anyway what I think respect means is the way you treat others is the way you’re going to be respected. It also means that you have to give yourself respect as well as you want others to give to you. What I mean by the first meaning is that if you treat others with a barbaric behavior than others will treat you the same or consider you as barbaric person. Therefore with the second respect meaning it is that you have to take care of yourself and not treat yourself as you're nothing because you don’t only give respect to others but to yourself as well. Anyway respect is shown by you thanking someone who did a good deed to you, who help you through a tough time, or did anything to earn your respect. Also respect is shown by you choosing what is right for you, because if there are people that will tell you to do horrible things to yourself or make you do something bad and you don’t listen to them because you know that it is bad for you, than your showing yourself respect. Moving along I give respect to those who show it and give respect to others. Also who do good and do good to others, who help out, give a hand , try there best, work hard, not give up easily and those who I think truly deserve it. Therefore I feel respect should always be given to those who deserve it and within ourselves as well. Anyway this is all I think respect is and how it is important as well.
ReplyDeleteI think respect is very important. I think this because respect show that you care. Respect also show that other people’s thoughts, feelings, and opinions matter. I also think respect is supporting other people because of what they believe. And also to not be rude to people. I also think respect is important because if you don’t show respect to other people they won’t show respect back to you. Respect is important because if you don’t respect people they won’t like you. If you are a mean person other people will be mean to you. Then when people are mean to you, you will get upset and wonder why people are mean to you. Respect is and can be shown in so many different ways. I show respect by being respectful to other people. You can also show respect to people by caring being nice to them or giving the advice and nit being mean. I totally want respect. So I respect people. I respect people to make them happy. The only thing I want is for people to be happy. That is the main reason I respect people. I also respect people so they don’t get upset and they don’t get mad at me. I think everybody should respect everybody. I respect others because I think that everyone deserves it. I respect others to show them that what they believe I support them. I think everyone deserves respect because they might believe in something that you don’t but you have to respect them because they respect what you believe. I also think that if somebody is disrespecting you and they want your respect back they have to show they want it by respecting you.
ReplyDeleteRespect is a big word with a big meaning. Its also a word with many meanings. Respect is the one thing everybody should have for everything and everyone. Respect is what everyone deserves. It’s very important. Respect is important because it shows you're a good person. It shows you have potential. Its shown by showing someone that they are meant to be spoken to with mannor and authority. Its also shown by the way you treat people. For example, if your mean to someone and treat someone bad, thats not giving that person the respect. I think people respect each other because they admire that person in a way. Also i think that people respect each other because that person deserves respect. That person is probably nice and caring so everyone treats them how they treat others.
DeleteSecondly,I feel that respecting others is as important as brushing your teeth in the morning. And giving respect to others is the top thing you should do in a conversation. As i said before everyone deserves respect. But only if that person earns the respect. If they are mean and disrespectful people then maybe they don't earn respect. For example, if someone is mean or puts you down a lot or even just gives attitudes towards you maybe they shouldn't be treated to nicely and respectfully. In conclusion, respect is a big word with lots of meaning. Respect is the one thing you need daily. And that respect is important and that it shows the kind of person you are. Everyone, thats kind enough, should be treated with respect.
I agree that respect shows you are a good person. I also agree that the word respect has a very big meaning. Respect does show you have potential. If you respect people it shows you deserve to be respected.
DeleteI totally agree with you on what you think respect means.And also on how you see it that it is important.I like the examples you gave to provide the meaning you meant on what respect is. Also how you gave messages or themes along with it too. Therefore I like your meaning to what respect means.
DeleteI think that respect is really important. Respect is how we treat people. One example of respect is that if we listen when others speak and not talk when they talk, that would be considered respectful. Another example is that if we are really rude to our parents and teachers that would be disrespectful. Many kids our age are very disrespectful to others. I’m not saying that all kids are disrespectful, but many students talk back to teachers, parents and adults. If someone was elderly and they were struggling with something, people might not help them. If we didn’t have respect for each other, people would be mean to everyone and you would never stop hearing about it. Have you ever heard of the phrase “Treat others the way you want to be treated?” This phrase goes with respect because if you were making fun of someone, would you want someone to do the same thing to you? I respect people like my elders because one day when I’m in their position, I’d wish for others to help me like I would help them. I also think respect is earned and not given. What I mean by that is that if someone was being respectful to me, then I would be respectful back. If someone was being rude and mean to me, I wouldn’t give them any respect because they weren’t respectful to me. If people see you being disrespectful to others, then they won’t give you any respect because they will feel you don’t deserve it. When we are born, we are taught to be respectful of others, but it seems that some people forget what we were taught. If we all learn to treat each other with dignity and respect, the world would be a better place to live in.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Because respect really is important. Without respect the world would be chaos because no one would care about each other. With respect comes caring. If you don't care about that person then you won't be respectful to that person. If you care about that person and there feelings then you will be respectful. That's why I agree with you.
DeleteI think you are right Alexis and I totally agree with you. Respect is important because you are going to have jobs when you get older and you have to make sure that the people you work with respect you and they will respect you back. My mother said the same thing to me which was that "You treat others the way that you want to be treated". You do need to earn respect from people and you can't just get respect from people for free. You treat them with respect and they will do the same for you. Therefore, I completely agree with Alexis's opinion on what respect is and how you get respect.
DeleteThese days it seems like no one cares about respect anymore. To me it's the most important thing someone could ever give or show me. Can you imagine having someone treating you like dirt? Letting them walk all over you because they don't care about how you feel. Respect to me is treating me with the kindness and understanding of how I feel. My mom always used to say to me, "Treat others how you would like to be treated." If I treated others how they treated me I would be stooping down to their level because they don't treat me how they should. Even if you use your manners, it's showing that you at least respect the people your talking to. I've shown respect by saying please and thank you to my teachers, friends, and adults in general. Also, by showing my admiration by supporting them in what they're doing. I like to respect everyone and anyone I can. I respect people because sometimes they don't get it from anyone else or I admire how they are in general. The only people I wouldn't respect would be people who disrespect me. Why would I respect them if they aren't treating me as an equal? If I were to show respect towards them they wold keep thinking it's okay for then to do what they are doing when it's not. My feelings about respect are everyone should be treated with it. I would honestly be so upset and feel so depressed if I did't have respect from anyone. I think that you have to earn respect, you don't just automatically get it. If I just gave it to you, you could break my trust or not even care about what I do or say. If you're a bully why would I give you respect? That person wouldn't deserve it one bit because your making someone just like you fee horrible about themselves. Respect isn't just a one way street, you have to give a little to earn a little.
ReplyDeleteI agree with sam how respect is very important. Also I agree how no one these day cares about respect either . I also think how she means you shouldn't treat others how they treat it would be going to there level. That doesn't solve anything it just make the problem worse because it shows how you are getting bothered. I agree with sam all the way about respect.
DeleteDo I think respect is important? Yes I think respect is important. I think this because people think you're a better or nicer person. It is also important because by respecting people it helps you stay out of trouble.
ReplyDeleteI think that respect is not talking back to you're teacher, parents etc. it's also showing that you care for one another.
How respect is shown by the way you talk to people. If you're being nice and speaking politely you're giving respect but if you're talking trashy than you're not.
In my view i show respect to people because I want people to think I am a good and nice person. I have no reason to disrespect somebody. It is just completely rude. Nobody should do it! It will only make you a better person to be honest. You get nothing by being disrespectful. Some people don't understand that.
My feeling towards respecting others is that you should alway do it. No matter where you are or how old a person is you should away respect one another. Being rude isn't nice and it's not going to get anybody anywhere in life. It will only make people not like you!
I think both. If you're rude and you don't respect others they should have to earn respect because they are the ones who are being rude. I also think that if you do respect people you deserve it also. You shouldn't have to earn it if you do respect people. I think that everyone deserves it more than people should earn it. A lot of people are just kind and respect anyone. It doesn't matter who you are.
In my opinion, showing respect is extremely important because it shows the kind of person that you are. For Example, when you are talking to a teacher you want to make sure that you treat them with respect. If you don't well then they think that you are a rude person and only care for themselves and not polite. I show respect to my friends and to my teachers which is why they know that I am a nice person. What respect means is to treat someone politely and get their good side on you. Or in other words, If you treat them and talk to them nicely they will do the same for you. Respect could also mean appreciation like we respect The United States Flag By doing the Flag Salute every morning in school. The way how I usually show respect is by keeping the door open for other people that are right behind me in the hallways. Another way I show respect is by, telling the teachers to have a nice day right after class to put them in a good mood for the day. I show Respect to people because it give me good characteristics for my personality. I feel that respecting others is the right thing to do because it will make you feel good when do the right thing. I personally think that you should earn respect because it makes it seem fair because people aren't always going to be the nicest. For example, if you don't do your homework teachers will think of you as a student work never gets their work done. But if you show them respect they will have second thoughts about you. One mintue off.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Keon. If we do little things like holding the door for others or telling the teachers to have a nice day, we can show that we are respectful and maybe others could follow along and be respectful as well.

ReplyDeleterespect is important cause it shows how much you care for someone. you should always respect people no matter what .if you wanna be respected then you have too respect people . you may thinks its hard too do sometimes but it takes you a long way . respect is a nessery thing for you too do i think that of you dont respect anybody then you dont deserve respect you have too earn what you want .
ReplyDeleteRespect is important to me because without life would be horrible. lets say that one day that you are in a bad mood and someone flips on you what should you do? you don't flip on them. all you is wait until they cool off and pull them to the said and let them know you were hurt. treat people the way you want to be treated. don't give people crap they have to put up with because soon or later your gonna look around and notice you are all alone. I think its important to notice the way you treat people because do you want to die alone do you want be lonely and not have friends because that's is what going to happen. do you want to be known as the man or women who no one likes and hates them because of attitude. or would you like to be known as the the person who likes because they're sweet and and nice . what does respect mean to you?
ReplyDeleteI agree with your analogy of what respect is to you. Without respect, life would be horrible. I know that I would like to be treated how any one else would be treated.
DeleteWhat is respect? Respect to me is when you admire someone for things they have done or what they do. For example, you can gain respect by doing a good deed. Like if A boy was walking in school and he was having trouble holding his books and someone else went to help him. I would have respect for the guy that helped because he helped someone without the person asking them. I think respect is important. If we didn’t have respect then everybody would be me to one another because they wouldn’t respect each other. Also without respect a lot of people will be upset. This is because without respect for one another, people would just bully one another because they would not know what respect is or how people should be treated. Without respect people would just hate each other which is not good.
ReplyDeleteHow I feel about respecting others is that it is a good thing. Being a good person sometimes doesn’t have its rewards. Having respect from someone or respecting someone is a big reward. It shows that people like the type of person you are and to keep it up. I do not really respect others. I only really respect adults and my good friends. Sometimes people will just be disrespectful to adults and fellow peers. I don’t like that especially if it’s done to me. I have no respect for people that are disrespectful. Not everyone should just be given respect, especially when the person doesn’t even give respect to others. As people say “respect is earned not given”, so why should I respect someone that doesn’t earn or probably know what respect is. To deserve respect you need to be a good person not a bad person that bullies people all the time.
Respect to me is when you admire someone for things they have done or what they do.
I think respect is very important, it is important because it should be given to those who deserve it and is something we need to learn to have within ourselves. Anyway what I think respect means is the way you treat others is the way you’re going to be respected. It also means that you have to give yourself respect as well as you want others to give to you.
