He is not concerned with psychological explanation or motivation of characters. They exist for the moment only. They have no past to offer insight into characters. Williamson might also have considered what could be taken away from a person, removed from them reducing them to their lowest common denominator. In the play these removals include dignity, respect, compassion, value, humanity, sexuality, possessions, pride, masculinity, feminity and in Kenny’s case his life.
Topic: domestic-violence

Their marriage was culturally typical acceptable almost tolerable. His concern for his daughter’s health is insincere. He uses this false concern as an excuse to dominate his wife. Kenny and Fiona exist as characters to depict domestic violence, the violence of men to women. Kenny is known as the typical suburban ocker whereas the Sergeant Simmonds is ocker at work. Kenny fears losing control over his wife (it is typical properties of ocker at home). He wants to assert physical dominance over his wife. Kenny is ultimately to die as a consequence of sustained violence. Fiona is vulnerable at the police station by the insistence of the Sergeant that she show her bruises. Kate becomes an accomplice in this degrading incident. Fiona is not as aware as her sister Kate. Kate appears to enjoy the flirtation. Kate represents culture and privilege.
Topic: domestic-violence

Simmonds detests Kate for her class difference. Simmonds becomes self righteous and denounces her for immoral behaviour. “A position of privilege carries certain responsibilities Mrs Mason. A man who occupies a position of leadership in industry should not abuse that responsibility.” Sergeant Simmonds is an ocker but he has the power of the law behind him. Ross is made to feel less than a man. He humiliates and makes a mockery (Simmonds is empowered by putting him down). He is deceptive tries to seduce the women. Near the play end the similarity between Simmonds and Kenny, they share beer together. They line up their similar values. (Simmonds strikes a deal with Kenny to arrange a prostitute for him )
Topic: domestic-violence

Ross’s anger has built up to an uncontrollable level because of Simmonds taunting and ridicule but the anger is taken out on Kenny who was already half dead and defenceless. The same misplaced dumping of anger that Fiona receives from Kenny. Ross is caught up in aggressive behavior. The reader is willing to see Ross as inadequate but in fact. It is Ross who succumbs to violence and bashes Kenny near to the death at the play’s end. The fact that Ross is a victim of circumstance does not exonerate him. The removalist is a worker who is only concerned with himself and getting his money. The removalist is without compassion. The removalist removes human kindness. The removalist refuses to get involved. His only concern is for money and himself. His job as a removalist gives him masculine importance and therefore credibility, possibly respect or so he thinks
Topic: domestic-violence

The language used in The Removalists is brutal and bawdy and functions as verbal violence (dominated by men). The power struggle between them is fought with aggressive, ridiculing languages and physic violence. Clichés with sexual innuendo occur frequently and are used in retaliation. They use words to advance their cause (Simmonds coerces Kate into making herself sexuality available. Kenny encourages Sergeant to lose his temper and can build a legal case against him. Words are used to antagonise and provoke so that the accuser can achieve dominance. Words of irony are used by characters to put forward an ‘ideal’ behaviour which they themselves fall short of (Simmonds talks that he has never lost his temper. But in Kenny case, he punches him in front of women.)
Topic: domestic-violence

The crudity and cliché in the language is at times so excessive that do people really mean what they say. Sarcasm and mock-courtesy are also used by characters who want dominate another (Kenny uses every verbal assault at his disposal while Simmonds and Ross use physical assault. Sergeant dominates his junior Ross in the same manner to overpower him). The misogyny is perhaps the most glaring feature of the language. It only serves to exaggerate the male characters’ hatred to women, whom they claim as their property. How each character speaks to another character reveals their position of power in the social order. Much of their language is cased in insult and verbal abuse. He gains cohesiveness of characterisation, themes and plot structure via the language.
Topic: domestic-violence

Violence is the dominant theme throughout. (Simmonds uses verbal and physical violence on Ross and Kenny. Later he is verbally manipulative with Kate whom he hopes to seduce). Masculinity: most of the violence perpetrated is about asserting masculine power (both men and women). Masculinity is also defined by men’s ability to perform sexually (core of masculinity). Man is constantly referred to in relation to his sexuality and his sexual capabilities (measure of his strength as a person and as a man). (Simmonds and Kenny both have a strong will and sheer physical seniority brute strength.) Misogyny: The men within the play act in a predatory way.

Based on our previous experiences and ideas, as well as our experience from critical writing, we have come to understand that the general topic of our research essay will be focused on respect and its implications. To be a little more specific, it will focus on how disrespecting someone can negatively affect their own views of themself. We have both realized that there is a relationship between a person’s interactions with their peers and their own level of self-respect. We would like to explore this relationship and try to understand what causes people to be disrespectful to others and the repercussions they may experience.
Topic: respect

We both have experience in dealing with respect because we have both been put in situations where our respect for someone determined the outcome of our experiences, whether it be positive or negative. We have also noticed that the theme of has respect also been prominent in different parts of our class. In writing our own performance piece, we realized that part of the reason our main character was haunted by a monster was because of her loss of respect for others. In another play we watched, the main character became a more confident and happy person because she began to respect herself.
Topic: respect

While reading the novel, The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman, we saw a distinct connection between the actions of the main characters and their respect for their father and other people. Because we have seen so many examples of respect in class, as well as our own involvement with the subject of respect, we thought it would be a good general theme to write our research project on. As for the methods we plan to employ in our research, we have created a good basis for what we will be working with. First of all, we will both be taking notes in the methods that we identified as our preferred choice, including the research log. The research log entails note taking on one source at a time, as well as including your own thoughts all on sheets of paper. While we take notes, we will be focusing on relating it to our general theme and we will be finding important connections that we will be able to use in our research project. Most of the input we write down in our notes will correlate to our general theme of our project. In accordance with taking notes, we will also research articles online that have anything to do with respect or something relating to this general theme of the project. Our primary question we are asking is what are the implications of an individual being disrespect by others? For secondary questions we ask how does the disrespect of another lead to loss of self respect in that person.
Topic: respect

Do self-respect and respect for others play hand in hand? What happens when someone loses respect for you? We believe there will be sufficient literature on the effect of the views of ones peers and an individual’s view of themselves. Through the performance pieces we were able to see multiple examples of disrespect of another leading to their own loss of self-respect. We agree that respect plays a major role in the confidence and persona of a person, and we think that we will be able to find out what losing and/or gaining respect for or from someone does to yourself or others.

There are numerous standards that customers expect depending on the nature of the business, if you had a gas leak or your car broke down in the middle of the night you would expect to be seen within a short amount of time. We live in a culture where we expect a quick service e.g. next day delivery. However, speed is not the only expectation of customers who have received an order the very next day, they expect to receive the item they ordered. Receiving a toaster when you ordered a microwave is unacceptable regardless of how quickly the toaster was delivered.

One of the ways my organisation gauges customer feedback is by asking patients to fill in a Friends & Family form (F&F). The main aim is to find out if, following their experience/visit, they would recommend our department to their friends and family. We also ask them why they answered the way they have and if they can suggest any improvements. Lastly, there is a section at the bottom for additional data which can be used to see if there is a trend in the type of people who complete the forms e.g. male or female.

Reciprocity is the process of verbing someone. Being honest and trusted by others shows that he is an honorable and trustworthy person. For example, according to Haidt’s TED Talk, individuals must treat others the way that they want to be treated, so they can change “other people” (Haidt 26). This proves that an honorable person will be kind and honest to others. He will treat others with respect and also treat others how he would want to be treated.

Loyalty is the process of giving firm and constant support to someone. Being an affectionate and faithful person shows that he is an honorable person overall. For example, according to Haidt, adaptation evolved both by cultural and biological evolution to make groups to cohere, in part for the purpose of trusting each other, and being more effective at competing with other groups (Haidt 21). A loyal person will be faithful towards their cultural and biological groups, so they can stay loyal to their friends and family. If you are a loyal person, people will respect you much so more because they know that they can trust you to stay with them through thick and thin. In comparison, when playing on a basketball team, being faithful and affectionate towards your teammates is necessary to be successful when playing a team sport. For example, when playing a team sport like basketball, you must stay loyal to your teammates to earn their respect as a teammate. It is important to stay loyal to your team because when your team is on a losing streak, they need your support and help. When you are winning, you stay loyal to keep encouraging and helping with your team. To be loyal, you must respect your teammates, and your teammates will respect you. Being a loyal person is crucial to gaining someone’s trust. If they cannot trust you, they will not respect you as a person. Loyalty is important to society because if you are affectionate and faithful to someone, they can build a sense of trust with you and appreciate your loyalty.

Individuals make decisions based off of fairness and loyalty, according to Jonathan Haidt’s 2008 TED Talk titled “The Morals of Liberal and Conservatives”. Reciprocity is when you are being an honest and honorable person that can be trusted by others. Loyalty is when you give firm and constant support to someone or something. If you practice reciprocity and are a loyal person in today’s society, you will be highly respected as a person.

In the Aeneid, an arbitrary Trojan stands up amid the choice of the Trojan horse it ought to be pulled inside the dividers, at that point another reacts into the ocean with it, (Virgil, 536). The Trojans were attempting to accomplish a reasonable and adjusted vote. The way that they were displaying it to the general population and not choosing for themselves spoke to how they felt committed to sharing this, and have a reasonable and adjusted vote. In contrast with other roman values, for example, their regard for obligation and godlikeness, there are more variations then similitude, however, respect for responsibility and divinity and a commitment to be completely forthright and reasonable do share a high significance, and a should utilized day by day. Regard of obligation is critical esteem; it speaks to the fact that they were so committed to making Rome a first domain, and furthermore how Romans always needed to improve themselves. Regarding godliness, it is unchallenged that Rome has the positive association that originates from the period of Troy and when their first city sacked due to their regularly enduring confidence in the divine beings. Scion begins to speak, ‘I swear by thee, as by the sacrificial tables and reviling swords I made tracks in the opposite direction from. This is equity; I legitimized in dropping all loyalty to Greece’ (Virgil, 541) expressed the character of Sinon after being caught by the Trojans. Despite the fact that Scion was a twofold operator he did fundamentally state what the Trojans needed to hear, which thusly proofs to us what their qualities really were and how essential they were, this is demonstrated on the grounds that the Trojans permitted a Greek into their city construct exclusively in light of the way that he expressed he would not align with the profane imbeciles called the Greeks. Despite the fact that Romans valued obligation and godliness they additionally had the energy for viciousness and fight, yet with this came their respect, their respect skirted on them battling with deference and to not surrender until the very late conceivable.

With regards to war and battling Rome is the most critical pawn in the set, the Roman armed force was the most dreaded armed force and usually upheld by a standout amongst the most beautiful personalities in military history; however Romans weren’t savages or merciless executioners, they were composed and, lethal. In the last section of the Aeneid, it states Aeneas additionally prepared. In the savage soul, he and his men battle against frantic chances, this is expressed in the last passage as a determination to what the Trojans felt in the day of a fight. (Virgil, 544) This sentence is the sole clarification of the clash of Troy; it states both the soul of Aeneas and the sentiment his officers, and this was what the respect of the Romans mostly was, the demonstration of remaining in a fight to secure what they cherished regardless of whether they may kick the bucket.

To conclude, Perspectives on value and ethics were something that the Romans had clear perspectives on, however they additionally had a focal point of three fundamental qualities that were trustworthiness and decency, respect on the war zone, and regard for obligation and heavenliness. Romans was an extraordinary realm, yet their general public was not flawless, it had certain defilements, and under different circumstances had a specific wild and fantastic ruler, without a doubt, and their domain was so vast and assorted that around the finish of its rule it was part to administer under two rulers, be that as it may, it figured out how to be one of the best realms since, other than those things, similarly that Roman qualities live on through current societies around the globe.

Ever since my childhood, I have stood by the Golden Rule; that is, to treat others the way you want to be treated. Whether I was at home, at school, or out in public, I would always be kind and generous to other people in hopes that I would be treated in this way. I also knew that in order to respect others, you must possess self-respect as well. How are you going to respect someone if you cannot believe in and have respect for yourself? I have dealt with this problem of respect for others and my own self»respect for many years, and I have only begun to divulge in to the hidden meaning of these two ideas, For me, it all started when I was in grade school where l was known as the kid that was friends with everyone and as one of the nicest people anyone had ever met, I found enjoyment from being nice to other people and it made me happy, 80, why would I ever stop? I only began to consider this was unbeneficial to me, after so many years of trying to make people happy, As I progressed through middle school, high school, and now college, I have begun to realize that this Golden Rule isn’t always applicable to everyone.

Could my transformation from being a kind, lighthearted child to a pessimistic, trying to be happy type of teenager be due to failing to receive any respect from others? Could it be that I had lost my own self-respect? Why had I seemingly become my own monster? Did the lack of respect manifest in my head and lead to the loss of my own self-respect? I couldn’t help but wonder why this would happen to me, and most likely to other people like me as well.

Throughout this semester the content covered by this course never failed to interest me and provide me with a surprising new perspective on many topics. Coming into social work, I knew little more than what Hollywood has portrayed in movies, My idea of a social worker was someone who tried to help those in abusive situations and most of the time when they tried to help they didn’t. I viewed social workers as disconnected from their clients and trying to help but not knowing the whole story and not really fixing the real problem. I am so glad that I was proved wrong by what I learned in this course. I think the main core values and roles of social workers include being a rock and just a person of strength and support to those who don’t have a support system in their life. Social workers are there to help support, listen to, and offer advice to those who may have had a rough life. I learned the social workers are as immune to their clients life or problems as the media or society might portray them. Instead social workers are a little less than a 24/7 life coach, they help with almost any situation and know of tons of resources available to you within your community.

Like many other professions, there is controversial issues with the social work practice, and not all social workers can handle the pressure of being depended on so much. In certain fields of study like those social workers who treat and deal with clients who are burdened with mental illness, it may get difficult from time to time. In the articles I read they spoke of how even social workers, who are trained professionals, tend to put clients in certain situations into boxes. It is wrong to be someone they’re suppose to look up to and then degrade them and put them down, but this is understand because social workers are human and they go home and have to deal with their own problems at the end of the day too, It is nice to know that so many dedicate their lives to trying help others with theirs. other things he wasn‘t proud of, continuing to lose self-respect As he grew older he became bitter, and took the occupation as a photographer.

Eddie opted to take photographs of murderers and crime scenes Was this a sign of a loss of self-respect as well? Both of these jobs caused him to continue to lose respect for others because he was able to see the scum and horrible things people could commit every day. Through exploring these two characters, I was able to question one big idea, that is, do the two concepts of self-respect and respect for others play hand in hand? If someone loses respect for others, will they lose respect for themselves and vice versa? I have personal expeience with these questions and it only adds to my affirmation that this is true. Eddie lost respect for his father and in turn, lost respect for himself as well as everyone else he acquainted with. Coralie‘s father failed to respect her as a woman and his daughter, and in turn was not able to receive respect back causing Coralie to lose her own self-respect, If these two ideas go hand in hand, how will anyone maintain respect for themselves in this increasingly bitter world? How can someone overcome the loss of respect for others and how can they regain their own self-respect? What causes someone to lose respect for themselves when they are being disrespected by others? These are questions I haven’t found the answer to, but judging by the path this class is taking, I guarantee that in time I will be able to find the answer.

Veterans are extremely important to our nation’s history and future because of how hard they have tried to keep our country safe and protected at all costs. Many have fallen defending our country so that we can have our freedom Everyday they continue to shape our country’s future and help move us forward The dedication that they have towards our country makes me realize how lucky I am to be living here in the United States, They love this country so much that they would spend months on end just to make sure that our country is protected, All of those who have died fighting for our rights to me is considered a hero.

Some countries aren’t lucky enough to have veterans that are as brave and courageous as we do, so we should remember to be thankful for them everyday. We should always be grateful for the fact that we live in such a prodigious country. They pay the price of freedom through mental and physical scars that have been with them from wars they have fought for us so we didn’t have to. That alone is a significant enough reason as to why we should honor our veterans and pay our respects to them. Although their sacrifices are tragic, the things that they have accomplished for our country is an astounding feat that 1 am extremely appreciative for. Instead of only giving our thanks to those who have served our country on specialized holidays. we should be grateful to them everyday because of the fact that they have sacrificed many things in their lifetimes and experienced countless hardships just so they could defend the country that they know and love, I will never take our veterans for granted and I will always support and give thanks to them as much as I can.

Without the veterans who have fought for numerous years before us, there would be no United States, They are the people who have shaped this country into the astonishing place it is today. The aftermath that these veterans face after war is terrible. They cannot get the images of what they have been through out of their heads. The things that they have seen will continue to haunt them for the rest of their lives, After they are sent home, it is hard for them to adapt so suddenly to a new life style The time that they have spent out in the battlefield could have been spent with their family, friends, and other loved ones. The guilt of not being able to see them for such long periods of times weighs on their conscious. We should always thank veterans when we see them so we can let them know that we appreciate all they have done for us and that their efforts have not been for nothing. Although we may not notice it, the things that veterans have done for us affect our lives on a daily basis. We should not take things like our freedom, and being able to live in a place where we feel safe and protected for granted. Every night we are able to sleep without having to worry about being attacked. We should all realize what they have sacrificed for us so that we can all live peacefully. Some countries don’t get the right to practice their religion of choice, speak freely. and not be controlled by the government or anybody else. They live in fear of their government or dictator which is a tragic thing that we do not have to face. We would not have any of those privileges if it wasn’t for the wars they fought many years ago and still to this day, they are fighting to keep our rights safe. We are very lucky to have veterans who are as dedicated and devoted to our country as we have here in the United States.

The answer proposed by Jung is rather baffling. He suggests the need of an extramundane authority, including religion but not limited to, which counteracts the power of the state by illuminating him of his intrinsic worth to the church, in this case and essentially to God. Though Jung struggles with the idea of God throughout his other works, he has rather explicitly stated that a private relationship with a spiritual being leads to the expression of the inner man as opposed to its suppression by the state.

According to the author Sonia Saldiver, she states ” A languages with which they can connect their identity to, one capable of communicating the realties and values true themes – a language with terms that neither espanol ni ingles, but both” (77).

Parents love their children and they want them to have the best life so they expect their children to do things that they are not able to do it yet and punish them based on that expectation. It can lead to increase peoples self awareness and self motivation but as the positive impact it has a negative impact on self development because the high expectation on ability measures can make less self belief or it can reduce peoples motivation commitment. As the author describing himself, he is surrounded by peoples that they want him to be succeed. His family want him to be the great and kind person which helps him to improve his self esteem. In my understand the concept of social influencer help us to determine what to think, feel and do in life. According to the authour Mychal Denzel Smith “ he wanted me to be an upstanding citizen with unimpeachable credential who could be again everyone’s respect so they might see me as more than “ just another black man” and come see me a man” (9). This evidence shows that how he influenced by socials, which engaged him to be the better person and dependable. When those expectations start to become self realization, the concept of our belief toward them might increase because the more we experience peoples point of view the more we get to work on it. On other hand, the sense of our self esteem is reduced by social life, what I mean by that is that the more we get to close to social life the more we become adopted or influenced by them. We might feel good sense of comedy because others say so. But the way we react might not make feel safe for others because it depends on ethinic and culture for example how stereotypically white to black use English language in different sounds. the most black minority speak improper or inappropriate languages, which is makes others fear. In contrast, people think that, white people they are respectful and speak very appropriate languages. Based on the author history” I wasn’t not allowed to sag my pants, or say the “ n-word,” or listen to rap music that had explicit lyrics.

Because based on the the article “ fear in two winters” I can see how he felt isolated because of his religion the embarrassment of his physical appearance. Most peoples undermined others culture or beliefs so we try to fitt in their expectations and we steeped out of from our cultures. “ I stopped wearing a kufu, stopped praying daily, unless I was visiting home. I spoke little to no Arabic, which I was always self-conscious about doing anyway. It felt easier this way, fitting in without having offer explanation”(215).

A self-fulfilling prophecy is essentially an event that occurs due to our own belief in it and subconscious effort to make it happen. The best way I can think to explain self-fulfilling prophecy is to consider a person receiving a tarot-card or palm reading. If this person truly believes in the reading, they will subconsciously change their behavior, and eventually the predictions from their reading will come true. For example, if someone is told that they will experience good financial luck that year, they might make changes to their daily spending, budget or put more effort into savings.

While I’m not proud of the fact that my behavior towards my partner changed, I ultimately ended up pulling away from him both emotionally and physically. I stopped spending time with him and treated him more like a friend than a significant other. I stopped engaging intimately, and essentially gave him every reason to break up with me without realizing I was doing it. I never really stopped to reflect on why I was behaving the way I was, and just assumed that I knew exactly how he was feeling, even though he never really gave me any reason to feel the way I felt. Only my past had.

It wasn’t until after we broke up and had time to reflect on the relationship that I realized I was ultimately the reason that it didn’t work out. It was a lesson in communication for me, as well as self-worth and therapy. Because I failed to communicate my fears and concerns to both myself and partner and believed that I wasn’t worthy of being in a healthy, loving relationship, I ended up engaging in a self-fulfilling prophecy. Thankfully I’ve got a great therapist now, and a better tool kit to handle difficult communication in situations such as this.

The elders play a very important role in society. They have lived and learned from their mistakes are able to teach their young ones not to do the same. They had the time to observe life’s ups and downs and understand things more deeply and clearly than the young who are caught up in social media today. Like many other parts of life, a lot of phases of getting older aren’t fun she talks about the different changes in her body like sagging skin and neck which I’m afraid of having.

I like the poem she read I think it does relate to a lot of old people with them having bad eyesight their bodies getting weak. Like with my grandpa he walks very slow it is almost like baby steps when they are being cautious learning how to walk. It doesn’t help that he is always shaking his hands and his legs which he can’t control since has Parkinson’s disease. The poem also mentioned how old people like it when they have someone to talk to about anything or tell one of their grandchildren of stories of themselves when they were younger. I try to listen to my grandmother’s stories about herself when I get to see her once in a while since she lived in a different generation than mine where there weren’t a lot of the things that we have to entertain us today.

Every person, whether conscious of it or not, has a way they want to act towards others based on how they’ve been treated and how they think others should be treated. These are a few things I think are important in how I treat people. Listen. I think it’s important to listen to people when they talk. It sounds simple, but sometimes people have a hard time. I noticed that when I’m in an argument with someone, and I’m sure other people do this too, I tend to focus more on what my next point is going to be rather than what the other person is saying.
Topic: respect

Outside of an argument, it’s polite to listen to what people say anyway. People don’t bring up topics if they don’t think it is important enough to be talked about. It is also important to really think about what the other person is saying, not just listen to the words coming out of their mouth. When I was younger, I felt like people would only focus on what they were going to say next and not truly understand what point I was trying to make. I would always get frustrated and I would repeat myself a lot in hopes that I would finally be heard.

Don’t judge. I’ve done this myself plenty of times, like when I first started working at the dry cleaners I worked at. There were a lot of people who I would describe as snobs. Now I try to put myself in their shoes and think of what they may be dealing with to make them seem that way. I think people should try to give people the benefit of the doubt in this situation. Maybe that girl who seems really rude is just having a horrible day. Maybe the guy who “shoved” you was actually just lost in thought and didn’t see you coming.
Topic: respect

There have been times where I’m quick to think bad of someone who seems to be rude. But it’s best to try and think of what they could be going through. People a lot of the times think only of themselves without really meaning to. We’re quick to say someone is against us, but we don’t usually imagine what could be going on that made them do what they did. It’s easier to believe someone is doing this to us on purpose rather than thinking they might’ve done it on accident or that they normally wouldn’t and are just having a bad time.
Topic: respect

I also think a person shouldn’t be judged for things he or she can’t control. My grandfather and father are both really prejudiced. It aggravates me how quick they can judge a person based on the color of their skin. I think a person should see what’s beyond the pigment of a person’s skin. If a person is rude, then you can say they’re rude. If a person is nice, you can say they’re nice. You can’t say a group of people are nice based on their skin tone, what they wear, where they grew up, how they grew up, who their family is, or any other reason similar. Don’t hurt others. I don’t think anyone should ever hurt another person, physically or mentally. It doesn’t matter if they made you mad or hurt them first. I’ve heard before people say things like he started it or she said this first. It doesn’t matter if someone upsets you; you should always be the bigger person and not hurt them back. Obviously self-defense is different. If someone is hurting someone else, it’s okay, in my opinion, for that person to do what they can to make the aggressor stop. What I mean by not hurting others physically is not taking the hit when you know you can walk the other way safely.

I’m on the internet a lot in my free time, and I’ve seen some of the things people comment. I also hear a lot of things from the news or from other people, and there are a lot of news reports now of people killing themselves over things people say. Every time I hear of something like this, I can’t help but think that it wouldn’t have happened if those who made those comments actually thought about how what they were saying could impact someone else’s life.

Be respectful. I think people of all ages should respect people of all ages. I don’t like when people use the term “respect your elders”. Everyone deserves respect, no matter the age, race, gender, nationality, or any other category a person could fall into. To me, being respectful is listening to what someone else says and actually take what they say into consideration when leaving the conversation. When I was a kid, I was always told I was “too young to understand”. Children’s opinions matter just as much as adults’ opinions do. I don’t think children should be in charge of major household decisions, but I do think people should consider a child’s opinion when the choice is made. Children are people too.
Topic: respect

A thing I always considered respectful was to stay in the room when someone is speaking to you. I personally think you can listen to someone without looking them in the eye as they speak, but I also think leaving the room is rude, even if you can hear them. My dad would always ask a question then leave the room before I could answer, or would start a conversation as he walks around. I could still hear him, but I always thought it was rude of him to walk away while speaking with someone. Agree to disagree. Most discussions that I’ve had outside of school have become arguments. Sometimes the discussion even gets to the point of yelling or fighting. I think everyone needs to realize that it’s okay to have a different opinion than the person sitting next to you. I think people can talk about a subject and appreciate what’s being said without feeling the need to insult someone else’s opinion.
Topic: respect

I think almost everyone you ask would tell you everyone has a different opinion, yet people still get so heated in arguments over things like religion or politics. I’ve heard that you’re not supposed to bring up either of those two topics when at a party. It’s okay to believe in something different than the person you’re speaking with. I think people should be able to discuss their separate parties or religions without getting annoyed. I know that for myself and probably for many other people, I start getting defensive once I feel attacked. I think, when talking about subjects such as religion or political views, people shouldn’t insult what the other person is saying. Once a person makes a comment about the other person being wrong or makes he or she sound dumb, I think that’s when the argument really starts. Comments that should be made during discussions should be “You make a good point.” And then a person can continue with his or her opinion.
Topic: respect

Don’t push. Another thing is to not push a personal topic if the other person seems uncomfortable. My parents have both made a lot of mistakes and still continue to do so, and whenever someone brings it up, I just immediately want the conversation to end. If someone wants to talk about something one day and he or she doesn’t want to talk about it the next, that’s okay. Maybe yesterday they felt comfortable to discuss it but today they don’t, or maybe they started the conversation thinking they could handle it but stop once they realize they’d rather not speak about it. People are allowed to change their minds once they start talking about something serious. A person should also not push a topic on someone who doesn’t want to speak about it. Even if it’s something that happened to you and not the person you are speaking to, it’s important to understand that maybe they aren’t comfortable with that subject. These are just a few of the rules I try to follow every day when I am around people. Everyone deserves to be treated kindly.
