Impact Of Age And Wealth On Respect And Greed

Money— sweeter than honey but oh so destructive. It facilitates a man’s life, while a lack of it imprisons him in the streets of penury. It raises his social status, while an absence of it leaves him unnoticed. It gives him an aura of superiority and importance among others, while a deficiency of it makes him worthless in society’s eyes. Considering these two roads, most do not take more than a second to decide to chase riches.

I do agree with the statement, "Good people are often driven to do bad things in their pursuit of wealth, fame, and power." Personally I haven't met someone who has been corrupted on their hunt for fame, fortune, or power, but I do know that the majority of the people in this world are wealthy do to scams, drugs, lies, and more horrendous crimes. Also there are people who have become famous through corruption, murder, crime, and immoral acts. Lastly, people have fought, killed, and even overthrown others to obtain more power and leadership over one another. I feel that good people can become corrupted, and bad people can be cleansed. Although great people are easily corrupted because they are ignorant to the immoral things or actions they

Older than any individual group, organization, religion, civilization, culture or military, respect is almost as old, if not as old, as the human race itself. Respect started with prehistoric bands of people, looking for experience and leadership, and remains today as we know it within societies and militaries around the world. Indeed, nothing with an organizational hierarchy, including civilization itself, could exist as we know it today without the ongoing application of respect, in its many forms. This fact is most obvious, and can not be illustrated any further, than by looking at the worlds militaries, and by observing customs, courtesies, and policies of different military organizations, past and present. If one

Everyone wants to be respected. It’s in our nature, but in order to obtain respect, first of all one has to respect oneself. Second, one has to show respect to others in order to gain respect from them. If one doesn’t show respect to someone, that person may often feel blown off and lose respect for you. Respect in my eyes is like a math equation loyalty plus duty equals respect. respect is gained in conducting ones self in a way that others can stand

Does respect always lead to power? And is power typically rooted in respect? I feel respect is one path to attaining power, but more than just having respect, power is rooted in playing the system. Earning respect is just one way to play the game. Here, I do feel like the development of the code makes sense as an explanation for crime because growing up in Camden, NJ, an inner city, respect is social capital. Therefore, those who are respected in the streets carry themselves as if they are wealthy, compared to those who aren’t respected. In order to walk the streets of inner city environments with some sense of security, one must feel respected. This leads to a social and cultural difference between the interpretations of respect. I feel African Americans value street level respect in a way that outsiders do not consider valuable. In my opinion, the level of respect that inner city African Americans strive for is the same level that power driven, corporate world individuals seek. The only difference is the name of game, but the motivations of being respected, powerful, and financially wealthy are the

Strengths of being respectful children never know when you’ll meet again. Treating someone with utmost respect now will leave a memorable impression on them. Children never know when that person will be in a position where you need their help in the future. A bit shallow, yet very realistic way of looking at respect.

I define respect as the ability to recognize and regard a person's boundaries, limits, and autonomy in both their personal and professional spheres of life. Appropriate interactions are based on this definition of respect. A senior

" We are living in a material world." This famous line in one of Madonna's songs entitled "Material Girl" will never outgrow itself. Ever since the beginnings of monetary means, the main focus of living is getting more money and to be as successful as possible. This became a huge issue during the 1920's. In this era, people made money from the stock market, illegal bootlegging and so forth. With these people hitting the jackpot, this then created a new rank called `new money'. This rank, however, never overpowered `old money' the most wealthiest, well-known and respected class. The possession of material wealth however, can't bring true happiness. Love is an important factor in this equation; when you don't have love, it is hard to say

In society today it is common for someone to be respectful to their elders or told to do so, but when we are respectful to our peers and those younger or “below” us it shows great character. People want to be respected and seen as grown up, and the best way to do that is to be respectful to others. The best way to earn respect is to give respect. People always say that we reap what we sow and respect is a great example of this. When we are respectful to other they will, in turn, be respectful to us. Someone with strong character is respectful and grateful to others. Benjamin Franklin is a great example of a person with strong

In other cases respect is earned, and not given. What I mean by this is that, sometimes people must gain the respect of others. This can be earned in many ways, like being respectful of others, being the best you can be, and doing kind things for others. This respect can cause people to look up and follow in example of someone, and eventually making you an example for others to follow and look up to, on so on and so forth.

Respecting your elders is important because they know more than you and they know what is good for you and what isn’t. Respecting your peers is important too. Respecting your peers means not making fun of them, not fighting, and helping them when they are troubled by something.

Respect shows the inner-self’s esteem of excellence to a person. Respect gives personality out to an adult or another person. Respect

People demand different amounts of respect, though not everyone is willing to give the amount needed. Maybe this is because not every one knows what respect means.

So the burning question arises: Should respect be given to everyone no matter what, or is it something that needs to be earned? I believe that respect is a given. Like a natural right, it is born with it, and it is your choice whether you can gain more or lose it. People around the world have been fighting all around the world for equality. Isn't that the same as respect? We have been fighting for respect this whole time, so why should we suddenly discriminate every organism on this planet. Everyone has a side of insecurity and if we keep making people feel ashamed of that, there would be no respect. Respect is what separates me from you, him from her. But shouldn’t everyone get respect no matter the case? From CEOs to retail workers?

​ Without a doubt, those who are “rich” and those that are “poor,” in terms of material possession, share a similarity: the desire to be rich or richer.  No one really wants to be “poor.”  Those who are rich are rich through inheritance or have mastered the know-how to become rich. Such as Prince Williams, who obtained his wealth from his mother and father, Princess Diana and Prince Charles of Whales.
