Welcome to the Treat all with Respect Community. It is our hope that the posts and discussions inspire, engage, and perhaps allow a change in your perspective. We think a great starting place is to consider the following: What is respect and why is it important? What are your thoughts? Is respect in a modern world different than what previous generations believed it was? Please take the time to share your ideas, your stories, and your reflections. Thanks in advance for supporting this community! According to Steve Pavlina: stevepavlina/blog/2014/06/what-is-respect/ The word respect has a number of definitions — feel free to look it up if you’d like — but in the context of relating to the beliefs of others, the most basic and fitting definition is to have “due regard” for the other person’s beliefs. What does that mean? Due regard means paying attention to another person’s beliefs. To regard something is to look at it. The Latin origin of the word respect also means “to look back.” Respect is just observation. To respect a belief is to observe it — to acknowledge its existence. So the word respect doesnt actually pack a lot of punch. It really just means looking at another person’s beliefs. You don’t have to like those beliefs. You may even think they’re stupid. But you can still respect someone’s beliefs merely by acknowledging that such beliefs exist. According to ask: Respect is important because it shows that one values another as an individual, and that he honors the personal rights and dignity of the person as a fellow human being. Respect goes a long way in developing a harmonious home, work and social environment. Communication is clear and appropriate among individuals who respect each other. If a person is respectful, it shows that he has a positive attitude. A person who is courteous, listens to others and treats people fairly is respectful. People who show respect for others often gain respect in return.
