The Influence Of Respect

Respecting someone or something contrasts with being indifferent and careless. In fact, it is quite easy to recognize the absence of respect; meanwhile, it is much more difficult to define respect in our daily interactions with people. Some environmentalists suggest that it is getting easier to survive without being respected (Fromm, 2016). For example, someone can inherit a lot of money, so his/her employees’ respect stops being necessary or desired. Someone can also earn a large sum of money through his/her own talent which is valued, as being a good football player does not mean to be respected, perhaps because of the inappropriate behavior towards his team mates.

Men often apply abusive verbal expressions and elements of violence to become worth of respect in the other’s eyes (Anderson, 1994).

Increasingly, teenage girls are becoming more inclined toward violent conflict solutions what in their opinion can make them more respected by school friends. In most of the cases, such behavior grows out of limited view of life what obviously comes from family (Anderson,

For some of us, it may take years to finally reach the feeling of being respected and valued at school, at home, at work, etc. If it can be so challenging for an average person to earn respect, then what a person with mental or physical impairments can expect?
