Give us some respect...

Respect is an assumption of good faith and competence in another person or in the whole of oneself. Depth of integrity, trust, complementary moral values, and skill are necessary components.

Respect adds general reliability to social interactions. It enables people to work together in a complimentary fashion, instead of each person having to understand or even agree with each other every time. Respect is very important to communities because it helps people get along with other people.

A very important lesson I learned from our subject Values Education is that RESPECT IS RECIPROCAL. This lesson taught me how to respect other people, and leaving some for yourself. But what do we do if a person, who we respect so much, does not even show a tiny bit of respect for us???

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The school teaches us how to respect. Most of our teachers will say that we should respect elders. But how will we respect people who doesn't show us respect? As I said, RESPECT IS RECIPROCAL. Respect should be shown to other people, so people should also respect you. Respect is not shown by leaving a friend behind, telling them that they are not capable of doing things, and by telling them lies that are not really true. Respect is shown, by telling your friends to be positive, not letting them down, and by helping them, do what they think they can't. And, one more thing, nthing will be lost if you look at our activities.
