Respect

overwhelming. I believe that respect for one other is a big social issue we face today in our

generation of tomorrow. We see this problem in teens, in so many places. For example, in school

there is a lack of respect for students from other fellow students. At home there is a lack of

respect from the children of this generation to their parents. There is also a lack of respect from

young adults to most authoritative figures.

First, the most apparent sign of lack of respect is in the school with students who do not

respect their peers. Most students fail to recognize each other as equals because of differing

economic status, race, and religious beliefs. Not only these situations play prime roles in the

disrespect of others, but also the clubs and organizations one could be associated with. For

example, the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado. The complaint brought before the

public from the guilty students was that they were mistreated by the football players of Columbine

High. They were said to have been teased until their life became so miserable that they took their

aggression out - the wrong way - on everybody in the school. The cause

. . .
As I remember when I was

younger, my Dad constantly harped on me to always respect others by treating them as I would

like to be treated, even if it meant respecting someone as I had seen as “not nice. If

one person out of the household could sit down and ask Jack and Jill if they know the Golden rule

of life; it would help them tremendously, more than most would think. Fights and shootings have been the worst consequence of all, too

many violent crimes have occurred due to the lack of respect toward each other. How often do you see a young juvenile

talking back to on of these three people? I see it almost every day! The generation of tomorrow

has little respect for the ones who teach and protect them for the future. Police officers strive to keep things in order for each and

everyday to allow regulation in society, teachers educate the youth of the future to provide leaders

of tomorrow, and principals help to maintain the order of the schools to provide a good learning

environment. These people are like

elders to our village know as society, they deserve the up most respect for their time and caring

generosity of teaching and protection.

Knowing that the majority of the time a teacher has a point, therefore entitling them to the name

teacher, helps to give understanding in this giving of respect. As a young citizen of society I have

always respect the law and its enforcers, for I know that it serves a purpose. If respect had been received from both parties to one another, this situation may could

have been avoided. The lack of respect for one another only provided motive for such a situation to become

escalated. ” As hard as it

seemed, I would always attempt to do so, the majority of the time the outcome was respect from

the person as I had seen as “not nice”, fewer times it was not.
