Types of respect

There are many types of respect, self respect, for others,for social norms, for laws and norms,for nature, for culture and for family.

For self: I always think that this kind of respect is the most important because before respecting others well you should respect yourself first. If you can’t respect yourself,it will be impossible to respect anyone else . So every kind of respect starts from respecting yourself.

For others: just like with yourself,you will make someone feel good by showing them respect,that’s something that they deserve. We can’t always agree with others on every opinion and topic but we should allow each other to have and express our own views.

For social norms: some examples of this type of respect would be respect for other people’s belongings,letting them speak and listen to them respect others opinion. This kind of respect all the norms that govern society.

For nature: Environment is important for humanity and for daily life. Some examples for this kind of respect would be not wasting water,recycling,saving energy,not harming animals,using public transportation etc.

For culture: People can have different beliefs and opinions so we should respect them. Some examples are avoiding making judgements about other people’s opinions or beliefs .

For family: To be able to understand and respect each other in your family, and respect the rules that will keep your relationship with your family healthy.
