...Importance of Discipline and Respect The importance of discipline and respect Discipline and respect are important in life as well as in the army. Respect is one of the army’s seven values. The seven army values are loyalty, respect, duty, honor, selfless service, integrity, and personal courage. While respect is one of the army values, discipline is needed for all of them. You must have discipline in yourself in order to have selfless service, to do your duty, to have personal courage, as well as loyalty, and honor. And it takes a discipline to respect. The definition of discipline is 1. training to act in accordance with rules; drill: military discipline. 2. activity, exercise, or a regimen that develops or improves a skill; training: A daily stint at the typewriter is excellent discipline for a writer. 3. punishment inflicted by way of correction and training. 4. the rigor or training effect of experience, adversity, etc.: the harsh discipline of poverty. 5. behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and control: good discipline in an army. 6. a set or system of rules and regulations. 7. Ecclesiastical . the system of government regulating the practice of a church as distinguished from its doctrine. 8. an instrument of punishment, esp. a whip or scourge, used in the practice of self-mortification or as an instrument of chastisement in certain religious communities. 9. a branch of instruction or learning: the disciplines of history and...

...Preparation Outline 3: Visual Aids By Caresse Walden Specific Purpose: I want the audience to understand how the military members can accumulate money for retirement with a tsp. Thesis Sentence: While in the military I realized how helpful a TSP savings plan really is when thinking about retiring from the military. Introduction While in the military not only can you retire by getting the same amount of pay you were getting before you retired but, you can also put money aside in a tsp (thrift savings plan). The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a Federal Government-sponsored retirement savings and investment plan. Congress established the TSP in the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986. The TSP is a defined contribution plan. The retirement income that you receive from your TSP account will depend on how much you have contributed to your account during your working years and the earnings on those contributions. The TSP offers the same type of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their employees under so - called "401(k)" plans. Body 1. Some of the features of the TSP * Your TSP contributions are taken out of your pay before taxes are computed, so you pay less withholding tax now. * TSP earnings are tax - deferred. This means you don't pay Federal (and, in most cases, state) income taxes on your contributions or earnings until you withdraw the money - usually at retirement, when you are in a lower tax bracket. ...

...“Respect others if you would have others respect you” This, written by Baltasar Gracian, is reflecting that if we want to be respected then we have to learn to respect. Disrespect is lack of respect or disregarding someone. Most disrespect you may see will come from children. At their age it is easier to influence them in a negative way rather than adults. Things such as music, television, and social media are known to be a part of this. Research states it is very common for an adolescent to disrespect adults. It is often provoked by increased stress, depression, or violent feelings. One factor you will see is the lack of discipline. Growing up and learning about what’s wrong and what’s right is a crucial part of one’s life. Without discipline, people can grow up thinking they can do what pleases them and not get in trouble. That can include talking in a vulgar way, physical abuse and crime. Music can influence in multiple ways. The most direct way is the lyrics of the song. Sometimes a song will mention things such as beating up parents, allowing people to think this is acceptable. Another way is the artist themselves. Sometimes they will want to act just like their favorite artist. Sometimes that certain artist will be seen getting arrested or doing drugs and their fans will want to act in the same manner. It can take a post on social media, or an article in the news about the artist. Aside from the music, television may also have an effect on the child’s behavior. Certain...

...There are many strategies and methods that can be used to reduce the risk of abuse or neglect and helping children and young people to understand that they have the right to be safe, secure and free from harm. Being respectful can be given or received. Respect can be something that is earned not demanded. Respect is often thoughts as earned or built over time. Continued caring interactions are required to maintain or increase feelings of respect among individuals. If someone respects you they are more likely to confide in you. However respect can be easily broken. I think the strategy of being respectful could help the relationship between Liam and his parents. If they allowed Liam back into the home with certain conditions, they would be able to spend more time together and interact more allowing them to build some sort of bond within their relationships with each other, which creates some sort of respect for each other. if Liam and his parents’ have some sort of maintaining respect for each other his parents would be able to discuss the issues Liam has such as being in trouble with the police all the time and stealing, Liam would then feel like he could confide in his parents, allowing them to help him with his issues/problems. Making it easier for the family to live together under one household. The child centred approach endorses the rights of the child to choose, make connections and communicate. It allows freedom for children to experience, think, explore, question...

...- every time I returned from a sartorially desastrous conference (frequently), every time I saw a colleague who knows how to dress without being arrogant (once in a while), every time I received comments on my own attire - appreciative (occasionally) or otherwise (rarely). A recent post on the Thesis Whisperer, and the ensuing discussion on #phdchat gave me the last necessary kick to finally write down my two cents. While doing so, I again realized that most commentary and advice out there is for women - arguably because female academics tend to be under much more scrutiny in these matters. For men, I only came across a classic rant at Inside Higher Ed - and a piece in the Chronicle which asks all the right questions - about geography, discipline, campus and role - but provides no answers. Without claiming exemplarity, I thus decided to flung open my wardrobe and assemble all those things I wore during the last couple of months in official academic contexts (except fieldwork - where I tend to wear a simple trouser-shirt-combo - but the same rules apply there, too). The collection is pictured to the right - and I will go through three classic occasions to explain what I wear, and more importantly my reasoning behind it. These occasions are teaching in the classroom, presenting and networking at a conference, and making the best out of professional meetings. The classroom: When I teach, I invariably wear a jacket. In winter, it might be the tweed one in the back of the picture...

...In the world we live in today, there are many skills or personal capabilities that contribute to the positive social development of a child. Some very important social skills that a child must possess include respecting others, the ability to communicate, having a positive self image, and to be a good problem solver. Respecting others and treating people how you want to be treated is the right thing to do and makes for a more peaceful society. Children will earn the respect of adults by showing trust, discipline, responsibility, love, and knowledge. Adults were once children and it is said the longer you live the more you learn. The ability to communicate effectively allows children to understand questions from teachers, peers, or other adults and to express their feelings or thoughts about those questions. Communication is also a key concept in making new friendships. Friendships are mostly created between people who have things in common like religion, sports, education, or hobbies. Having a positive self image allows for a child to be confident, and this usually leads to a successful person both in and out of the classroom. A confident child will usually have good grades and is also a very popular person with a lot of friends. Children that are good problem solvers excel in the classroom, especially in the core subjects of math and science. Socially, when children help others with problems make the right moral decision and keep them out of trouble, friendships evolve and become...

...What Respect Is On a practical level respect includes taking someone's feelings, needs, thoughts, ideas, wishes and preferences into consideration. It means taking all of these seriously and giving them worth and value. In fact, giving someone respect seems similar to valuing them and their thoughts, feelings, etc. It also includes acknowledging them, listening to them, being truthful with them, and accepting their individuality and idiosyncrasies. Respect can be shown through behavior and it can also be felt. We can act in ways which are considered respectful, yet we can also feel respect for someone and feel respected by someone. Because it is possible to act in ways that do not reflect how we really feel, the feeling of respect is more important than the behavior without the feeling. When the feeling is there, the behavior will naturally follow. | | Why It is Important Going back in time, respect played an important role in survival. If we think of a small tribe wandering in the desert we can imagine that a person not respected by anyone could be left behind and die. Such a person was considered to have no worth, no importance, no value to the group. This, I believe is the foundation of our psychological need to feel respected. Nowadays it seems much more possible to survive without being respected. Someone could, for example, inherit a large sum of money, have many servants and employees and have salesmen constantly calling on him and catering to him, yet not...

It was about: Skills for Building Effective Parent-Child Communication. Each person introduce itself and saying the age of our children, in each sit was a handout about the topic. The person who presented the workshop has two years working for this agency and five years working on the field. We covered six topics the first one was: Modeling and Teaching Respect and she said when you show your children respect, even when you are angry or providing discipline, you help them learn to respect themselves while demonstrating how treat others respectfully, and she give us an example when you catch yourself treating your child with disrespect, apologize and make amends like saying “ I’m sorry I yelled at you. That wasn’t very respectful let me try again more calmly to tell you why I was angry. At the beginning it was hard for us to come out with a comment or questions. The rest of the topics were: Helping Children Deal with Their Feeling, Engaging Cooperation, Alternatives to Punishment, Offering Choices and Praise. After a while everybody started to share experiences that they had with their kids and one parent said “When I was in high school I had a french class...

...traits that can make up a person’s character. Dishonesty, rebellion, and laziness are negative examples of traits that make up a person’s character. An individual’s character can produce a judgment of the type of person you are or will be in society. Determination, respect, and self-discipline are all characteristics that describe me. Determination was always a character that I showed during childhood. Whether I was playing sports, studying for a test, or practicing a speech for a play, I was always determined to do my best. Determination is a positive trait that I have and as a high-school graduate my determination has paid off. I will continue to be determined because I want to be a college graduate and a positive mentor for other males in my community. The next character trait describes my motto in life: RESPECT. My motto in life is “Treat others as you would want to be treated”. By living this motto, I understand that regardless of how other people look, act, or choose to treat me, I choose to respect everyone. During childhood, I was always told to respect adults and authority; therefore, respecting my elders and those in authoritative positions was never an issue. However, understanding to respect my peers and those who are younger...

...Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. All of the Army core values complement one another. Without the tight bond between them all, there would be no army core values. Honor and Loyalty are complimented by respect as you can’t have honor nor loyalty without it. The most important army core value is respect. Respect is all around us all the time; you may not always notice it. From driving, grocery shopping, and even talking on the phone respect is all around us. Without respect, the other six Army Core Values wouldn’t mean anything alone. Respect is all around us in our daily lives. Without respect, even the smallest tasks would not be accomplished and life would be miserable. Respect plays a role in our everyday lives. When we go to school, there's respect. When we go to a restaurant, there's respect. When you go to your family reunion, there is respect. You may not notice it, but that's only because they are being respectful to you. If you are not respectful then you will be disrespected. So you should always be respectful to others so they will treat you the way you want to be treated. If you are respectful to others then you can get good jobs because they'll like you. The better the job is the better your life will be in the future. Jobs will get you money for your great future. So respect can do lots of things that will help us with our future. Respect is ten times easier to lose then it is to gain. Respect can be lost in...

...praised for reflecting the values of society and instilling these values in athletes. Some parents believe that values such as cooperation, fair play, learning how to win and lose, self-discipline, and teamwork are instilling in young people through participation in sports. Many coaches of youth and adolescent teams support the belief that sports teach values. Yet incidents of unsportsmanlike conduct, cheating, and other unethical behaviors in sports are common and not only at the professional or collegiate levels but in youth and adolescent sports as well. Respect, self-control, and responsibility are prime examples of character traits that can be taught through sports. However, it doesn’t take long to look around and see plenty of examples of just the opposite – loss of self-control (thrown helmets, fighting), loss of respect (arguing with the officials, offensive language) and irresponsible behavior (check the daily sports page for athletes charged with driving under the influence and assault). Values and character traits are learned in childhood and then molded throughout a lifetime. Modeling of core values can teach young people more about character than the best lectures. How coaches respond to bad calls, errors, irate parents can all be teaching opportunities to model self-control and respect. Character Revealed through Adversity: It is often said that adversity builds character. In reality, adversity reveals character. Character is revealed by how people handle difficult...

...There is no freedom without discipline “True freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.” ― Mortimer J. Adler “There is no freedom without discipline.” - Many people disagree with this statement and tend to identify it as something bad. They identify with it as a restriction or absence of freedom. But in reality, this quote refers to the meaning that discipline defined by rules in society allows individuals to have freedom within their lives. Humans are free to do what they desire. Those who have freedom are also responsible. However, if individuals do not understand discipline nor follow it or establish any self-discipline, they may decide not to act accordingly to any rules present and break them. They will develop an intense and selfish desire for power, do whatever they can to cheat others off just for their own selfish needs, casting them aside, ruining the freedom of others, and even risking their safety. This is why freedom does not exist without discipline. Discipline is essential to living a free, protected, and safe life. According to dictionary, discipline is “training to act in accordance with rules”. An example of the absence of discipline can occur in the setting of a sports game, a ballet class, or all types of scenarios. Without discipline, a sports game will have no rules. Any of the players may choose to take advantage of the absence of rules, and can decide to cheat in order to win and ruin the fun for others...

...Denesha Tatum English 101 July 13, 2012 Rough Draft When you think about the upbringing of children today and years ago you can see a huge difference. There is a debate on whether the behavior of children of the 90’s has gotten worse compared to the children of the 70’s. You can see the difference in Education, music, clothing, technology, and even education. The children of the 90’s are being raised by children of the 70’s most of who experienced punishment for wrong doings, boundaries set by parents, and discipline in general. But now parents have to live in fear because of all of the laws that restrict them from raising their children the way their parents raised them. The children in the 70’s were raised in a one income family which meant it was always a parent home to monitor the house and the children. There was a low tolerance for disrespect in a household at that time. Children back then were taught to show respect to their elders no matter what the situation was. Children back then were taught by tradition, showed moral, and were way more motivated than the children now. Today children are more defiant. But, due to technology and social media has allowed children to be much more defiant and rebellious towards parents. But in time today children don’t have both parents at home so in which case it falls all on one parent to make money and still provide for their child while still trying to raise them the way they have been raised but...
