brankar5 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi guys,we have these extra classes of writing at our school and yesterday our teacher asked us to define respect. Well, we found out nobody could do it properly. So I am just wondering...How would you define the word respect? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess.kk Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Respect is acknowledging that a person's opinions/morals/actions are not subject to judgement unless they directly harm another person. so from this, disrespect would be not acknowledging the rights of a person to their own opinions, morals, and actions So for example, respect for a teacher is acknowledging that even though you may hate their teaching methods, they went must have studied how to teach at some point, where as you, the student have not. So, the teacher has more knowledge in the topic than the student.But if there is a mass murderer out on the loose, respect goes to those he/she is hurting because these actions are intentionally harming people, and violating these peoples' rights to opinions, etc.At least that's how I see it!
