Essay On Life Without Respect

822 Words4 Pages

Can society function without respect? Simply put, no.Respect, everyone needs it, without it, we and our society would have perished long ago. If we’d had no respect for one another then we’d never would have form society because respect makes it so we care about people, we’re kind to other people, and we would socially interact. We would also not care about our jobs enough to do them, ever had the pizza delivery come 20 minutes late? Well, it would take a lot longer if we had no respect. If we didn’t have respect, it would be physically impossible for society to be the way it is now, or not even exist at all.

First, have you ever thought of how many times you use respect in just one day? Being kind to someone, having a good mood, obeying the law, even simple things in your life like shaking someone’s hand or opening a door for someone. Now, press the imaginary delete button on all of those actions. You stop acknowledging people, everyone is doing whatever they want, and you don’t care about any plants or animals, just trampling over them. That is what life would be like without respect, unending, gray, void of all optimism and good emotions. Every emotion that defines us as humans and helps us grow socially and as a human. A world without respect or optimism would be like a ball and chain on you leg, slowly grating away at your soul, and crushing you. …show more content…

People wouldn’t respect the law, police wouldn’t do their job, criminals could do anything they want. It sounds (reads?) like a place I, and I don’t think you, would want to live. Every object around us (except plastic) would wear down with disrepair. It would look like one of those movies where there’s a war between us and some other species, but it wouldn’t be aliens or some other intelligent life form, it would be us killing

    Respect is a word that has a lot of depth to it no matter what way you use it. The word by definition is kind of hard to pin down concretely because it is subjective, and it can be used in many different ways with many different meanings based on the usage. It is a word that everybody wants a piece of no matter how big or small the piece they get is. All definitions aside, the respect that most people want is the respect that is earned by the showing of honorable actions or personality characteristics. Be it dedication and sacrifices for one’s job or ones moral and ethical views and principles.

Ultimately, the State of Nature could easily evolve into the State of War over property disputes where people’s rights would be in danger as Locke states, “If man in the state of nature be so free; … absolute lord of his own person and possessions; equal to the greatest and subject to nobody, why will he part with his freedom? Why will he … subject himself to the dominion and control of any other power? To which it is obvious to answer, that though in the state of nature he has such a right, yet the enjoyment of it very uncertain and constantly exposed to the invasion of others … and the enjoyment of the property he has in this state is very unsafe, very insecure.
