The importance of respect is mostly about...?

...the concern of society.  Without respect all of mankind would destroy eachother.  No one could get along and everything would quickly fall apart.  Eventually, leading to the end of human existence with... lets say nuclear war.

Yes, very much so.  Are we really paying attention to what is important?  NO, not most of the time.  What is important is how good we feel about ourselves from within and not what society tells us is good.  We have to learn to reject someone else's idea that influences and in turn makes us feel bad about ourselves.

it means a lot of things. the dictionary meaning isnt exactly 100% on. respect means what you want it to mean to you....to me, it means caring, looking out for others feelings, holding your tounge when someone is talking....to me respect is a word for a long list of basic rules.

All living human beings are worthy of respect.  It is their actions that one may morally disrespect and disagree with.\n\nWe are all one humanity, we are all together in it for the long haul.  To disrespect one is to disrespect all.

Being a teacher myself....I would want to see why it is important, who should do it, who should you respect, how you show respect, and how if you show me respect, I'll show you respect!!  Hope this helps.

niiiiiiiiiiiiice quote.  I like it a lot.  I'll have to get that book.\n\nBasically, it says that if you are the type of person to let things roll over and over and over in your head without ever coming to some sort of resolution, you will always get behind in everything you really want to do in life.\n\nIn terms of respect, there are a couple of thoughts on this.  How will you respect yourself if you don't respect others?  How will you be perceived as an honorable person if you let others run over you or you straddle the fence on important issues all the time?  \n\nI disagree with one statement.  "You have to demand respect in this world,......"  Actually, I don't demand respect.  I don't have to because I can look at you or speak to you in such a way that the respect comes natural.  \n\nI command respect by my mere presence.

To be in a position of authority automatically warrants a certain degree of respect from your constituents and the general public.  They see that because you are in this position you have devoted time and resources to get to this position.  \n\nAlso, respect is gained from your constituents and the general public by treating them with respect.  If you actively listen to the public's and employee's concerns, they will have a greater degree of respect for you because you are making them feel important.

98% of the disrespect I faced was in my teenage years. Adults were convinced I knew nothing, even about myself and my beliefs, which was incredibly frustrating. As an adult, however, people (be it friends, family, colleagues, etc.) recognise my experience and knowledge and often ask my advice on pertinent issues, which I take as a mark of respect. I think part of it is that when you stop caring about being liked by everyone (at the expense of yourself) you are respecting yourself and others come to respect you also.

Yeah I agree with you- why is it so important??\n\n:)

We are all guilty of this to some extent, aren't we?  On one hand, it is proof of how comfortable we are around our family members.  On the other, why is it so hard to offer them the same respect when they are so much more valuable to us than a stranger is?  We all should work on that, I think.......

I agree with the way I was raised in that aspect and retain those morals and values. I have never and do not sleep around not so much for my reputation or scary STD, but because I respect myself and want to be respected as well.

"Respect" is something to be earned. It has nothing to do with age. I think in some societies we confuse "respect" with "consideration". \n\n"Consideration to elders" is a consequence of "empathy". Human beings (in varying degrees) are naturally sensitive to elder people's realities. As a result we conduct ourselves differently when dealing with older people.\n\nRespect is a very strong word, and it would be just as wrong to automatically respect an elder, just because he/she is, as respecting someone who you know virtually nothing about.

I think that honor has to do with the way other people see you, but integrity has to do with whether your behavior accords to your internal principles of right and wrong.  Personally, if I have to choose, I'd go for integrity over honor.  Although, I think in the end people of integrity will be honored.
