Respect. A term which some may forget its meaning when confronted with a conflicting situation. Some choose to ignore while others forget about its existence when emotion is the only thing in their mind. Regardless of any excuse to disregards its existence it is still a fundamental part of society and, also as it will be mentioned in this paper, the United States Army. Now respect can be and has been expressed differently through out time and culture throughout he whole world. Who knows maybe even outside our own Planet. Respect is one of the most important things that make our humanity and society, it is expressed in a number of ways, it impacts those it is directed to, and it is not a one sided directive.

Like the branches of that tree neglecting the devotion of practicing and dedicating respect to those around you and including yourself can make your connection and/or self wither away from the disconnection that follows when a "tree is not capable of giving fruit and is cut". This tree simile is simply to portray the effect of voiding respect from ones impact with another person. That said person will not only be offended but subtract you from their life and reject any "bad fruit" or further interaction with you. With every impact big or small, respectful or disrespectful, there is always a price to be paid and sometimes that figure can exceed expectations and furthermore demand taxes. A wolf knows this, without the mutual respect from its pack it will become an outcast starve or even become wounded leading it to pay a price worth more than it knows, its life. Like any interaction either vocal or not there is two or more sides that apply input and reap results. A fact that must not be neglected is that respect is not just up to one person or
Respect is to “Treat people as they should be treated.” Every soldier is responsible for treating other people with dignity and respect. As Soldiers we pledge to treat others with respect and dignity while not expecting anything in return. Respect allows us to appreciate what our Army leaders and Friends do for us. Respect is to have trust that people will fulfill their duties and accomplish what is expected of them. Respecting ones self is an important factor of the Army value of respect. We, the United States Army are one team and we each have something to contribute. What is respect? Respect has numerous forms. It can be self-awareness, character, understanding, trust, honesty, and a positive attitude. Respect must be earned. If someone does not respect himself or herself then they are not able to respect others. To gain respect you must treat others the way you would want to be treated, as you have heard many times before. If a unit lacks respect it cannot have teamwork and sympathy for the well being of others. It creates devotion to the success of the team. Respect goes both ways up and down the chain of command. A leader must respect his or her soldiers as their soldiers must appreciate the sacrifices and skills their superiors and vice versa. by respecting the people around you with effort, and in time soldiers come to respect each other.
Respect is very important both in the military and in the civilian world. In most cases, people can easily tell when someone respects them or not. Once they feel that they are being respected, they can instill more trust into a person, respect them back, and take what the person says to heart. They can put faith into that person. Once we earn someone’s respect, it is much easier to gain his or her cooperation. It is much easier to have them support us and take our sides. We don’t have to put as much effort in to getting them to listen to an order or doing what they are told. Respect must be EARNED. You must provide someone with your respect before they show you the same respect. This is what I mean by earning it. I do not believe that respect can be demanded or forced. Demanding someone’s respect will most likely lead to some type of conflict. Respect
Respect is something as simple as treating everyone equally regardless of age, colour, weight, beliefs, gender, sexual orientation and so on. If Irene is respected, she will feel more comfortable in her environment and less stressed (Gallagher, 2007).
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
I think disrespect is one of the biggest issues in the united states military. Respect is something everyone wants, not many have, and few want to give. Unfortunately, respect is not something that is given all the time. Maybe this is because respect is not clearly understood. What is respect? The Webster’s Dictionary defines it as an act of giving particular attention or high or special regard. Another definition shows respect as a feeling or attitude of admiration and deference toward somebody or something. And disrespect is defined as the lack of respect. This does not explain completely what it is, but at least it gives us an idea about what it may be. As a matter of fact, there are many forms of respect. There is physical respect.
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

If the sense of duty is the foundation of the solider then respect would be what binds them all together into a single group strong enough to endure the hardships which they faced throughout their journey. We see this trust verbalized when Aeneas says “But you, my elite, who is ready to hack their ramparts down with the sword, to join me now and storm their panicked camp?”(Virgil 271). According to the Mariam-Webster Dictionary, respect is defined as “A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.”(Respect). We can see this throughout history as we look at military leaders. In the ancient world men like Spartan King Leonidas, and Julius Cesare lead their men into battle and were
T: Respect is a value that is learned and earned and is important in order to become a good man. E: We see in our media too many times, people who have lost respect and shown disrespect.

E: Cameron is aware of how disrespectful he has been to women when he looks at the Christmas catalogue.
Respect is one the 7 Army Values and probably one of the most important in today’s Army. Discipline also works alongside respect
The Army has kind of got it right, in a way. They view respect as a way that we should act towards each other and treat each other. But Respect is still so much more then that. You can not respect just a person, or a rank, or a position, but also someones experience that has led them to where they are. Its more about feelings
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 noncommissioned officer recognizes the boundaries and limits of their
I believe that my best quality would be character. I love to volunteer at events and seeing the smiles on people’s faces knowing that I helped put that there. As of late, I have cut back my hours that I work at Hawkeye Care Center Cresco but I like to stop by at least once a week to visit with the residents. The residents are always very excited to see me when I come by to visit and it makes me feel good knowing that I brightened their day. As I grow older, I always try to think everything out to do the right thing while making decisions. I always try to treat everyone with respect and consideration because I know that I would want to be treated the same way. Respect is a big aspect of my life. My definition of respect would be treating everyone
Dignity and respect is something everyone has a right to. I have chosen this subject because it is an important part of nursing in that to be able to fulfil the role of a nurse is firstly to respect the person you are caring for. Dignity is a feeling of being valued, respected, having self-worth, supported and being able to show empathy and compassion for the people nurses look after. So for me it’s important to outline the principles in dignity and respect when looking after people who are vulnerable.
“R-E-S-P-E-C-T”, belted Aretha Franklin, as she poured her voice out in an era where nobody else was brave enough to do so. She didn’t quite know it yet, but those iconic lyrics would later become the power anthems of the womens’ and civil rights movements. In a time where battles had been commenced, there was an underlying desire between all these different people: the desire for respect. Whether it be a soldier on the battlefield, or a woman patiently waiting at home, this song signified just how much “respect” evolved from an individual's battle cry----to a whole nation’s collective sound. As the meaning of respect has progressed over the years, so has the need for individuals to practice this idea of good behavior. On an individual level, the constant strive for acknowledgement and self respect inhibits the role of a catalyst. When examining the role of respect in a community, we see that for such a diverse group of people to thrive, mutual respect for one another is necessary. We come to find that without the presence of respect, all the components in a community began to clash and dissolve.
