The phenomenological approach in turn, proposes that we all occupy the same space and within it, we maintain our own private pieces of reality. It is the subjective, private space in which we mostly contain our lives. Relationships with others are in this case nothing else that entanglement of our own space with someone else 's space and therefore allowing the other person to get involved with what is going on in our space, and vice versa. Therefore, setting boundaries in this case would be to control what and how much we share with other people. The more we allow someone into our life, the less boundaries there will be between us and them because we allow them to occupy our private space. Once again, it is the psychological space we are …show more content…
Setting boundaries with others is important in this whole business of respecting ourselves, because not all people are capable of respecting us and our space, and thus it is our responsibility to keep our private space clean. It is not in our power to force others to respect us – although we might want to work towards gaining respect if we believe it is needed for our survival, but it is our responsibility to respect our own space. Of course, such respect of boundaries goes other way around too, for if we invade the privacy of others, we then demonstrate the lack of respect towards another person. The deeper we ponder, the more complex the whole idea becomes. We cannot simply allow ourselves to act on every single impulse we have, because we share the world with others. But we also cannot constantly limit ourselves in order to accommodate to the wishes of others. It thus appears that self respect is something to be managed skilfully – without hurting others and without hurting ourselves, so that we can be ourselves and meet our own needs but at the same time, without invading the space of other people. Following all our impulses, although theoretically is a manifestation of respect because we would then allow ourselves to be who we truly are, is not always the best idea not only because we
I believe many of the basic fundamentals of human service, such as confidentiality, empathy, and even antonym, can fall under the umbrella of respect. If I truly respect, another I will not try to force my own agenda, and if I truly respect another, I will keep in confidence the information they have shared. I believe that respect is a right that should be granted to everyone without limitations, however, respect doesn’t require agreement or even acceptance. I have developed the ability to respect the views of others without conforming, which for me is a true sign of personal growth. The last two years has taught me that I can find validation without conformity, and that I can respect and even admire the diversity of
“Boundaries help define people in general. They express what I am and what I am not. After reading “boundaries” it showed me where I close and someone else starts. It leads me to an intelligence of possession. Distinguishing what I am and to take ownership and responsibility in order to give me freedom. Seizing accountability for my existence unties up numerous diverse opportunities. Boundaries benefit us and keep the trustworthy in and the evil outside. Establishing boundaries as you might expect consist of gaining responsibility for choices. The initial person is the one who makes them. You are the one who essentially lives with their concerns. And you are also the one who may be preventing yourself
According to the Miriam Webster Dictionary, self-respect is defined as "a proper respect for oneself as a human being." My definition of self-respect is simple: value yourself. Value yourself enough to walk away from something that no longer serves you. Self-respect is one of the most important traits people in all age groups should have. When you respect yourself, you feel confident and worthy of things that you will work hard for. You know you deserve good things even if someone is telling you that you don’t. It’s knowing when something or someone isn’t right for you. Having self-respect is having the courage to say no when you want to, or to stick up for yourself when you need to.
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
This paper is an account, the interweaving, of the narrative of the writing of my own thesis using a phenomenological approach, with my developing interest in phenomenology as research method. My study of personal transformation provides the context for these reflections on phenomenology as research method. I have spoken in other forums about the content of the research; in this paper I want to do something different. The focus for this paper is on the possibilities and dilemmas for higher degree studies encountered as I learnt to use a phenomenological approach. Firstly I will give a brief account of the study and then
Lastly respecting property means not damaging or taking something that is not yours. Respecting property can vary from writing on a desk at school to stealing from a store. Respecting property is important because if you don’t it could be considered a felony offense. But respecting property is just using your common sense. There is a Japanese culture that teaches us to respect the environment because they believe that the earth is holy, such as the trees, grass, and animals. You may be asking yourself “what does this have to do with respecting property?” But respecting property does not just mean that you shouldn’t damage things that are not yours but it also means taking care of your enviorment. There is an old saying “do onto others as you would have them do onto you.” How would you feel if someone came along and broke your bicycle, or trampled on your flowers? Most people don’t think about how the other person would feel if someone did something to their personal property. There is a Japanese culture that teaches us to respect the environment because they believe that the earth is holy,
Zerubavel said in his writng, "from the time we are born, we must distinguish figures between the foreground and therefore have already created boundaries between the two" (6) I believe that as humans, it is in our nature to set boundaries on almost everything we meet or see. As a baby, you are given boundaries on what we can and cannot do. I think that's the start of why some people set boundaries to restrict them from becoming better but there are some people who set boundaries in order to have a "safe landing" when they do something out of their comfort zones. We live in a world where certain people questions the boundaries that are set and others who find discomfort towards others who step outside your boundaries.
Boundaries not only reflect a need for physical space, but, our core values, self respect and our need for safety and protection. They are invisible lines that differentiate people from each other. The different forms or types of boundaries include physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and relational.
Boundaries in a person’s life are very crucial. Many people live their life day to day with no boundaries. Individuals might see others and think that nothing is wrong with that individual, but deep down inside, those people are beyond broken. This is a quote by Edgar Allan Poe, “The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?” This quote means that individuals can set boundaries all they want, but people are soon to forget about those boundaries that they set. People go back into their old habits of not having boundaries and do whatever they feel like. Individuals should start standing up for what they believe in, not care about the world, and the judgment that others will receive. Boundaries that I need to set in my life are anxiety problems, spiritual, and friendship boundaries.
Self-respect is something not everyone has but something everyone should have. There are two different types of respect. The first is the respect of others. The second form of respect is the respect of property. For many teenagers growing up, self-respect is often something they struggle with. Respect of others property can also be something that teenagers can struggle with respecting. They can also find it hard to deal with. When you are young, you try so hard to fit in that you will do anything at all to do so. Often, in times like these, you forget about the values that matter, and those values are what make up who you are. It’s these values that your self-respect is based on and if you lose sense of those or never see the good in yourself in the first place, possessing self-respect can be difficult for you to handle.
Each person sets boundaries for different reasons. Many use boundaries for protection. These limits keep out what is bad, so they can remain safe and able to express their true self. It also protects one from letting others control their self, and it makes it easier to say no when needed.
I believe there are six different approaches to religion. One approach is the psychological or individual aspect. Then there is the sociological approach which looks at group behavior. Then there is also the anthropological approach which is looks at societies, cultures and things of that nature. Lastly there is the philosophy, phenomenology and comparative approachs.
Respect is an important value to be taught when growing up. Through the years I have learned that in order to learn anything you must have respect for others. I have learned many valuable lessons from listening to my grandmother. She has told me many of her experiences, which has made me a better person. Having respect for other people has allowed me to be more open-minded and see qualities in people that most would not. I have always listened to what my friends and family has to say. That doesn’t always mean that I agree with them, but it is their opinion, so I respect it. In return I receive respect from them. As people begin to respect me more their trust in me also grows.
Self respect to me, means standing up for who you are and what you believe in, when the circumstances you are in are bringing you down, while respecting others’ backgrounds in the process.
Boundaries show us what we are responsible for, and they show us what we are not responsible for and help avoid becoming burnt out by taking on more than you can handle. In Galatians, 6:5 and 6:22, we are told to be responsible for our own load and to help others when their burdens are too heavy. In Bill Gaultiere’s article, Jesus Set Boundaries, he explains that with good healthy boundaries one is better able to “offer empathy and love to others” because “you have a stable foundation to operate from and are not distracted or depleted by personal insecurities or blind spots”. Without healthy boundaries other’s problems can weigh someone down so boundaries help one remain healthy, so they can help others effectively.
