Saying your manners such as please, thank you and your welcome are all examples of what it takes to be respectful, Respect could also mean gaining someone’s trust. I respect all my best friends because I know I could trust them with anything I say. Another example is you’re supposed to respect your elders. We all have heard this before, but what does it really mean? Most people were taught to respect their elders because our elders are always the wisest. They have gone through more things than most people have and can lead you down the right path. If your disrespectful towards them, there not going to want to help you. Most of the time when you’re disrespectful to an adult, it’s because you think your right and their wrong. But normally, it turns out that your wrong and their right. Respect is needed and helpful all around. Students should use respect towards teachers during class lessons or lectures. While the teacher is talking, students should be quiet and listen to them while they speak. This although is not the case most of the time. Respect should additionally be used on a day to day basis. For an example, all men should respect women. Men should hold the door for their woman, pay for her, and always treat her like a princess. That’s the way it’s always been so they shouldn’t complain. In conclusion, respect means treating someone fairly and politely.
