Respect for Others

Respect for Others: altruism: concern for and motivation to act for the welfare of others

Respect for others is based on self-respect. It really is following the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. It is the value that makes the world a more decent and civilized place.

You can show respect in many ways. You speak politely and don’t hurt people’s feelings by saying unkind things or making fun of them. You show good manners and care about other people. You treat others fairly and you think it is good to share.

You know how to show tolerance to people who share different beliefs.

As a respectful person, you see everyone as a person with rights, regardless of their race, sex, age or ethnic group.

What does respect mean to you? I'm going to adapt Aretha Franklin's song about respect. Remember, she sang.......

Respect other people by treating them the way they want to be treated. Then they will respect the way you treat them. Don't be mean. Have respect in the way you are. Be nice to people and they will respect the way you treat them. Give them treats. That is a way to give respect to other people.

[Ashley]

Respect means:

• Remember to be kind.
• Expect good things to happen.
• See how people want to be treated.
• Pay attention when somebody is talking to you.
• Educate others.
• Congratulate others when they do well.
• Treat others how you wanted to be treated

Respect

Respect is to treat others very nice. To treat things with respect is to treat things that don’t
belong to you carefully without damaging them.

Mrs. Hooper, you are right about respect.You did a good job the way you described respect.

[Lacey]

Respect

Respect is when you are nice to each other. You don’t call each other names or say nasty words .You listen to what adults say. Don’t do things you wouldn’t do in front of your parents.

What Respect Is To Me

To me, respect is like treating others the way you would like
to be treated.

Mrs. Hooper made a lot of sense. She made sense because
people should be treated the way they want to be treated.

WHAT RESPECT MEANS TO ME

Respect means to me that you don’t talk about someone you know. You don’t tell a lie to your mom or your friends.

[Mrs Hooper]

I loved hearing from Money, Ashley, Alejandra, Lacey, Yessenia, and Adrieanna. You made some good points about self respect. I can tell you have really been thinking about it.

[Maria]

I wish I understood why people don't use respect toward others. If everyone used repect the world would be filled with fun and exciting people.

[Emilio]

Some people think respect means to just respect your elders.It doesn't it means that you should respect everyone. But no matter how many times you say it some people won't listen.

[Darion]

Attention all students:
Make sure to respect all your teachers, or it could come bakc to you and get you in big trouble.

Respect Is underdefined. When you respect someone what are you really doing? Respect and courtesy are to different things, but they are both also relative. Respect is earned not handed out. Courtesy is given out, more or less depending on the person.

im only 13 but....To me respect means treating others the way you want to be treated. this includes honoring a person as someone who has value and worth just because he/she is a human being and not because of what that person may be able to do for you. Model treating others with dignity by not demeaning, mistreating, manipulating or abusing anyone. Also treating others with courtesy, civility and politeness. It also means tolerating others beliefs. Respect means a lot to everyone and everyone wants to be treated with it as often as possible. More things that respect is are accepting individual differences without prejudice. Respect means refraining from violence, coercion and intimidation. Respect is being considerate and appreciative. Respect means showing regard and appreciation for the worth of someone or something.

[shannen]

Hi im shannen and my class got in trouble for doing disrispectful things at recess and now we have to write a pge essay on respect and i tink it means to care, and not talk dirty about someone. dont take things for granted and also when you do something nice dont always expect something out of it. If you want to be respected the treat others with respect.

[arthi]

*don't insult people or make fun of them
*listen to others when they speak and tell you their problems
