...Cherokee The Cherokee had a deep respect for nature. They believed that everything had a spirit, a soul. The earth to them was flat, held by four cords, on in the east the west the north and the south. They had a deep, respectful relationship with nature. Some very specific. They had an upper and middle world in which spirits can move through. As well as a down world where the bad spirits live, ones that cause chaos and disaster. The Natives did not think they were better than the environment, they thought they were a part of it. The Cherokee believed that spirits could travel through the upper and middle world to help keep balance on earth, but the devious spirits from the down world could travel to the middle as well. That’s when they...

...I believe that respect is the key to having healthy relationships: respect will always make a relationship with your family, friends, significant others, or the general public stronger. When I visited my fiancé in Germany I saw many types of disrespect. The married guys would go out to clubs and bring back girls. We went out on a sunny day and walked through the streets of Nuremberg. The sun was beating down on our face and reflecting off the rooftops. The streets were clean and the buildings were so colorful it looked like a picture out of a child’s storybook. Then the guys threw their garbage on the ground instead of walking to the enormous metallic garbage can that was four feet in front of them. My fiancé and I discussed the disrespect that was being demonstrated by other soldiers and decided to respect others and ourselves to maintain our relationships healthy. Families should have a certain level of respect which many families lack. If families respect each other then communication will become easier. This would lead to families arguing less and trying to see the other member’s point of view because we’d respect each other’s ideas. This would then lead to a happier family. Friendships also require respect. Friends are people who we can trust and talk to without being judged. We must realize that all people are different and have different ideas or wants. Friend should respect one another’s beliefs and if a friend tells another something in confidence then that friend...

...Respect & Discipline The definition of respect is showing a positive feeling of esteem for another person or entity. But, respect is not tolerance; it has to be a genuine feeling of honor and not just putting up with the other person. Respect is an important first step in building a relationship and I value my relationship with the Army. Respect is not something that is done when it is convenient, it is done at all times. The Army teaches this as part of the 7 Core Values for many reasons. Even though the Army teaches us that respect is something that is given to the ranks, it is important to have respect for every soldier that I am in contact with whether or not I like them and whether or not they are ranked above me, below me or with me. It is not about respect for the individual as much as it is about respect for the rank. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect but especially those I am serving my country with. We all have to be part of the same team and treat each other the same way we expect to be treated. It is what keeps us a strong and unified. By having our superiors teach us the value of respect, they are uniting us for when we have to do combat. We have to rely on fellow soldiers as well as our superiors and without respect we would not care about helping each other. I can not expect others to treat me with respect when I am not showing them the same. This is taught to us in boot camp and we are expected to maintain the 7 Core Values at all times without...

...Ethics Final Essay Should we always respect others habitudes; however cruel they may seem from the point of view of our values? Words: 3480 Introduction The aim of this essay will be to discuss whether respect should always be considered when facing others habitudes; however cruel they may seem from the point of view of our values. The relevance of this topic to relativism is found since controversy immediately breaks outs when the question of moral and cultural respect interferes with relativism. As we have seen in the previous cessions, everything is relative and especially when we are talking about respect. Since ages, many conflicts were emerging from divergent points of view, unaccepted practices of other’s cultures and disagreements on certain ethical beliefs. And since they are already two or more points of views in a conflict, relativism could be applied to all of them. Every single opinion could be relative, so which one should we respect? Well, this question therefore brings me to the other part of the problem which is concerning truth. What is true, good, and right to do? This question arouses a lot of debates among philosophers today. Since the nature of truth and goodness hasn’t been identified yet, it is still subjected to relativism. And respect cannot be worldly applied to specific values. In other words we cannot change the mind of people that are living by following what they believe to be true and right to do. It is know that everyone sees...

...unto you”. I believe that to get respect, you have to give respect. I believe no matter what age you are, your social status, or your authority over others, you should treat everyone with respect if you want to be treated the same way. Respect is a widely-known term, that many people claim to live by, but few actually do. In many ways, respect is like air. When you have it all around, no one has a second thought about it, but when you take it away, it is all people seem to think about. For example, if you disrespect someone, they will go on and on about how “they should be respected” and “you can’t talk to me like that”. However, in most cases, the person being disrespected, is the one who is never respectful in the first place. This is where the Golden Rule comes into play. If you want to be respected, you have to respect others. Many adults seem to feel that, because they are older, they automatically have some kind of high-set bar of respect they should receive. True, elders should be respected, but if they treat young children or teens like they are a piece of trash, why do they then deserve respect in return? Because of age? Age is but a number....

...Respect 1) What is Respect? Respect for me is accepting others for who they are, including both their strengths and weaknesses. Every person is different and that is what makes us a diverse society. Accepting those differences and not insulting or being rude to them means respect. It also means that there are boundaries that should not be crossed. These boundaries are social lines that should not be crossed under any circumstance. These boundaries change depending on who it is (friend, colleague, family member, etc) and the time you have known that person. The more familiar the person, the fewer boundaries there are, and the higher up in society, the more respect and admiration they deserve. For example, the boundaries towards your boss are difference than your friends’ because there are many conversational topic that you don’t discuss with your boss in order to not cross those lines. In all, respecting someone is admiring him/her for strengths and not criticizing for weaknesses. 2) What does respect look like? Respect presents itself in different ways in different cultures. In the western world, respect was often shown as how conservative people dressed or spoke to each other. For example, in order to go to church, women had to wear long skirts and use a veil in their head. This showed that they had respect toward religion and God. Now days, people exhibit these respect traits less in a physical way because each person wants to be free in their development of personality...

...Respect can be defined as a positive feeling of esteem for a person or entity. It denotes the regard and consideration shown by an individual towards others. There have been various philosophical works done in the past that try to define ‘respect’ comprehensively. The most substantial work has been done by Immanuel Kant. He stated that every individual deserves respect because he is an end in himself. Though, his theory is questioned, criticized or inferred in many ways, yet it is one of the significant works. It is hard to clearly demarcate the outline and definition of respect. But it is a feeling that can be mutually understood and felt. Respect cannot be demanded, it is an asset that has to be earned. From the very childhood kids are taught to respect their parents, elders, teachers and an unending list of social obligations. But an ambiguity arises when the teachings do no match the practical experiences. Children find it hard to respect certain persons or the same person in differing situations, viz. If a parent generally behaves positively with the children, it is normal for the child to reciprocate and show the same behaviour. But the anomaly arises when a parent confront or scold the child to make him understand a certain thing. The child wants to reciprocate his behaviour but the parent defies his behaviour and tells the child to respect him. Here the respect is tried to be imposed and not earned. This is a contradiction to respect. Nobody can earn respect...

...person a person who’s real or apparent authority over others inspires or demands obedience and emulation. The authority exercised is a kind of legitimate power and people follow figures exercising it, because their positions demand so irrespective of the person holding the position. Example: 1. Parents and teachers are traditional authority figure for the children. Example 2: Mahatma Gandhi for most part did not hold any official position to lead the Indian freedom struggle. 2. In what ways do leaders reflect the group’s value? Answer: It’s the leaders that run the organization. They make the important decisions that affect the lives of their followers. If a leader didn’t show a good attitude to its member automatically they will lose respect to this person, for example, what do you think of a store or restaurant when they have a horrible manager? Same with a bad coach on a sports team. You lose faith in them. 3. Explain this statement: “A man who commands efficiently must have obeyed others in the past” Answer: This statement tells us that if the person who acts good and respectful they must be obeyed by someone. Like for example in a sports team if the coach shows a good moral to his or her players of course the payers should always follow whatever instructions she or he has...

...not been sensitive to those aspects. Building relationships is essential to operating a successful business. I know when I sold advertising I would have never had repeat clients had I not taken the time to build good respectful relationships with them. 2. If a company was to go in to China and try to obey all of the rules and regulations they would be eaten alive. There is no way they would be successful. It seems like the only real rule that has to be followed is guanxi. Rules and regulations can be bent when there is a great working relationship and respect from both parties. Obviously, the company is very attentive to that and takes it very seriously. If a company came in worried only about the rules and not the people they are interacting with, they would essentially be booted out of the country. 3. I would think that bribes could essentially become a major ethical issue with guanxiwang. If the relationship of “respect” starts out like that there would be tons of problems associated with it. Also, if the company was to take more than it was returning there would be an ethical issue there also. At the company I work for we are very specific in how we handle business in other countries. There cannot be even a...
