Respect....... What?????

What's the big about respect? A lot. respect is basic and of great importance in everyday life. Looking deeper at the most common problems we have in school and our community, we will find that the very reason why we have them is basically due to lack of respecet. it would seem that now, a lot of people seem to take the value of respect for granted.

in school, we find writtings on the walls of classrooms, and comfort rooms, on desks and tables.

at home, our children might not respect us parents, like they will not obey us, they will answer back at you.. those are disrespectfull act though.

punishtment and disciplinary consequences would no longer be needed. respect, not fear, is always more effective.

respect therefore must bein with oneself. respect for others would be difficult if not impossible if there is no self-respect, they are deeply connected. true and genuine respect goes beyond social status, age, profession, financial status, or religion. all persons should be treated with respect simply because they are persons. respect must also be freely given to the things around us and to rules and laws that govern us. respect thenis not only accorded to the persons ot things we like but even to the people and things we dont like or principles we dont believe in.

according to Stanford Encyclopedia for Philosophy, respect is a central concept in many ethical theories and some theories treat it as the very essence of morality and the foundation of all the moral duties and obligations. therefore other values such as obedience, honesty prudence, responsibility, and courtesy are all founded on respect.

as individal we must start to review our ways, let us practice self-respect and consequently respect for other, and most impotantly respect for GOD. pls read this "the role of respect in our lives as individuals, as people living in complex relations with other people and surrounded by a plethoraof other beings and things on which out attitudes and actions have tremendous effects, cannot be taken lightly."

let us begin now, then hopefully we can expect to have a more peaceful, orderly and safer community or maybe even a less corrupt society in the future .

Have a good day followers and readers!
