The Wise Old Woman

Respect as a virtue is a simple virtue and should be followed at all times in daily life. In a short definition respect means treating others, human or otherwise, in a dignified manner; however, this does not mean that everyone on Earth as royalty. As Marshall puts it, “respect is a close relative of tolerance (Marshall 44).” Following this further the author is acknowledging that all humans will always have our

It is important to allow someone to know that you respect them. It will ease the conversation and create trust. Behavior and attitude will allow the person demanding respect to feel that respect. When we respect each other, there are fewer conflicts. People get along easier and avoid the unnecessary drama associated with a lack of 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

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.

Respect is a word that many people hear every day but do not understand the true meaning of it. Respect is not only for the people of “high class”, but it is for anyone who is willing to sacrifice something in order to receive the honor of being respected. When receiving the title of being respected it can be lost quicker than the blink of an eye, such as Abigail in The Crucible, who has no power in Salem until she starts accusing people of witchcraft. After that is done she is the biggest name in the Town, and she is obsessed with keeping it that way.

Respect isn’t always given to the elder, it can also be earned by the younger person. In Rules of the Game Waverly is a little Chinese girl who is really good at chess and her mother seems to be proud of her at first. Later on we find out that she just wants Waverly to win so that she can gain people’s attention of herself. Waverly didn’t like that so she ran off and didn’t come back for a while. She was treated with scorn when she came home but

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.

The culture in the story above is that the elderly awful and not beloved by most of the family. One example of why the elderly is treated with disrespect is the when the college student Kelsey Harmon from Oklahoma visited her grandpa or, “Papaw” when her grandpa made a dinner for all of his six grandkids. But sadly, only one, which was kelsey showed. As you can see in the photo, he is really sad and disappointed. Another example of why the culture in story is that elderly people are treated horribly is when a grandfather who grew too old to walk, see, hear, or even chew is his own food due to him being toothless was treated bad by his own wife and son. His wife and ban banned him the dinner table and made him sit in the corner by the stove

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

There are many little things you can do to show respect. For example you can clean your room and set the dishes. You can raise your hand when some one else is talking when you have an opinion. Don’t be afraid to share your opinions and ideas. They can be a good example for someone. Be a person that another person would want to look up to. You can not be this person when you have a lack of respect.

In the folktale “The Wise Old Woman” the characters have a commotion over a decree stating that anyone over the ge seventy-one must be banished and sent to the mountains to die. Once a young farmer had an aged mother who was soon turning seventy-one he didn’t want her to die in the mountains do he put off telling her but if he waited longer he would be sent to treason and they would both die so, when he refused to give her up he came up with a scheme to dig a hidden room in his house keep his mother hidden there. Then the came another commotion Lord Higa threatened to conquer the village if they did not complete his three impossible tasks,”Then one day there was a terrible commotion among the villagers, for Lord Higa of the town beyond the hills threatened to conquer their village and make it his own.” Another form of theme is

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.

When a child is growing up, the first thing he is taught is to respect his parents, teachers, and elders. He is being taught about moral principles, in other words, ethics. Although, respect doesn’t reach only the three-said people. Respect is unlimited, and it extends to every single person you meet, in school or work place, or even outside. It could be extended from a president to a homeless person. When a person respects the other, whether he/she is lower or higher in level than the person, it proves that this person has good morals. For example, imagine a scenario where a salesman is dealing with an elderly woman who does not understand or hear well, and the salesman has been forced to repeat his words louder so that the poor old woman could hear the salesman. He becomes agitated and frustrated, so he decided to yell at her and leave her in the middle of the store. This is an unethical behavior of him, what would be called ethical is either, had he been patient and respected the woman, or he had politely excused himself to call another salesperson to handle the
