With that being said, respect is important. That much is a fact. Who deserves respect? Our higher ups. Squad leaders, platoons sergeants, and first sergeant especially (our officers get respect without saying, I mean, look at all their ranger tabs. That is badass). There is not one NCO I would not do nothing for. If there is a request, one phrase in my head immediately fires off, "MOVING SERGEANT!" All the NCOs in Alpha Company are qualified and competent enough to do what is needed to complete the mission. The mission is part of the warrior ethos. "I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade." Someone has paid someone a lot of dollars to carefully think of this.
Because of this inherent hierarchal quality, respect must be established between the ranks to ensure that tactical operations continue to fit within a strategic plan. Additionally, in order to successfully mobilize a military, some sort of structure must be enforced to ensure critical elements such as communication, discipline, and accountability are properly maintained. If hierarchal respect, particularly in the sense of customs and courtesies is not maintained, the effectiveness and efficiency of a military is inhibited. In combat situations, if this respect is not well established, it can put the lives of soldiers in danger. Furthermore, in most cases NCOs have more combat experience or, at least, more experience in their MOS. In this sense they are better equipped to lead lower enlisted soldiers into combat situations, to protect their soldiers, and to ensure the completion of the mission. This is why they have earned the position of a non-commissioned officer in the first place and should therefore be respected. I can understand the logic behind this point of view.
I have learned that the army is all about making the right choices and doing the right thing so if anything makes sure that you are always doing what is right. I for one have been late a few times and now I have to make sure that I take care of that so that I can keep my rank and not lose anything. The right thing for me to do is I will make sure that I have an alarm clock set for the time I need to be up and to better myself to get up as soon as it goes off. Then I will make sure that I am getting a good amount of sleep so that I can get up on time and not be late or dragging while I am at work. I have done so well I just need to be more attentive in what I am doing and make sure that I have my things in order and that I am prepared for everything that comes my way. It’s time to set aside the differences have against me and be a leader by example if people see me showing up whenever they will do the same thing. So now I have to make sure that I lead by example and not by sub standards because in the long wrong I will be in charge of soldiers and don’t want them to think that they can just show up whenever or talk to NCO’S any way they want. Which brings me to my last part respect in order for soldiers to want to respect anybody you have to show that you are contributing to the work that is going and not just sitting there
Disrespect is not tolerated threw out the ranks of the army and therefore should not be dished out unless you want it to come back and spit in your face. The history of disrespect in the army is if it happened in the older days of the army you would either get the shit smoked out of you or you would get the living shit beat out of you or anyone who was to disrespect a Non-Commissioned Officer would get the same exact treatment and there is none of this favoritisms like it is now days. Disrespect in my opinion is when a person of lower rank flat out tells the Non-Commissioned Officer that they are not going to do what they have been told. Not the same as saying well Sgt I have not started that half of the task yet I have only just started the first portion but I will get it done like you have asked me to. Or when the one lower rank just simply does not understand what was given out and says something about it to learn the standard. Now I will go into describing how the NCO started.
Hatred and the use of racially derogatory speech We live in a highly amalgamated world where the things have been moving on a very fast pace. That is the idea behind having the world globalized and the bridging of gaps has brought about this massive change in the ways that we look at the world and how we may perceive it. In times like these the management has grown in its domain and the onus is on them to ensure that the things are on the right track. That is something that may sound too simple but in reality it is not so. In times like these it is imperative that the decision making is perfect. It does not matter what is our domain or what is the end target in mind or what we are dealing with because the objective is to get the job done and that can only be done by the proper management of the things. So it all boils down to how responsible we are when it comes to the decision making part and it is so important that the consequences are known or on the very least they should be anticipated to the very last detail. It is all up to the person who is making the choice of using derogatory speech. Now that can be a double edged sword because at times it may work in our favor and win us many hearts. While on the other hand it can backfire as well and when that happens it means that we might be on the verge a lot of allegiance from lot of the cordons. That is as good as losing both the internal and the external customers at the same time. There have been rare cases when the
Civilian jobs are much different than a military career. And before I joined the army two years ago, the civilian world was what I knew best. They way civilians treat or talk to their employers is nothing like the way soldiers talk to their chain of command. By joining the army, I have learned so much about respect and discipline and how important it is within the work place. Not only does it make the work place more professional but also more organized. Sometimes I allow myself to create an environment that forces my NCO to maintain order and discipline for which I should be capable of doing myself. For what I have found out is that a leader is only as great as his/her weakest link. I personally want to be the reason my NCO shines by showing respect and composure and helping other soldiers to do the same, for that is the only way to accomplish the mission.
Through the teaching and instilment of how we do things as soldiers and discipline, we honor and respect the rich heritage which the Army is built on, while also ensuring the future success of the Army and the soldiers who come after us by, inspiring us to adhere to and exceed the standard. One of the standards you learn in the early training phases in the military is right place, right time right uniform. Standards and discipline are the foundation of what is professionally, legally, and morally correct and as such instills trust in ourselves and our fellow comrades. It is this definitive trust in one another, in our leaders, and in the Army that Creates and strengthens our esprit de corps, sense of pride, and our Army culture. My leaders had trust in me being a senior lower enlisted
One of the keys to building or tearing down ego is respect. The communication of respect or the failure to communicate respect can greatly affect self esteem. Oftentimes it can take a lifetime of investment to communicate love, respect, and admiration. Self doubt and poor self-esteem can often erode the efforts of a friend or mentor to encourage and support. Oftentimes, though, building and destroying self-esteem can take place in a very short time. The ego buster and the ego booster in my life are one in the same person. Even more, the busting and boosting took place in the same conversation.
In retrospect of Philippe Bourgois’s, In Search of Respect, many social issues are brought to attention much past the prevalent matter of the crack epidemic. The author speaks of life in East Harlem in the mid-1980’s, more commonly known as “el barrio”, which means neighborhood attached with a very negative connotation. This part of northeastern of Manhattan, is predominantly filled with Hispanic with origins from Mexico and Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic. Matters at hand in this poverty stricken area included sexually transmitted diseases- aids, teenage pregnancy and of course drug addictions (specifically with crack). New York City is composed of five boroughs, Manhattan being one of them.
he Usual Suspects by Christopher McQuarrie The Usual Suspects (Bryan Singer, 1995) was written by Christopher McQuarrie and shot on a low budget $6 million (estimated) for such a successful film grossing over $51 million worldwide. The storyline is a crime mystery thriller the genre has a set of conventions, they create a high level of anticipation, uncertainty, mystery and nerve-wracking tension. They also help the audience understand the film more easily and know what to expect from it.
I have seen way worse disrespect then what I have ever done to anyone. In my eyes disrespect is if you just plainly say hell no or fuck off. I have never done that and yet they automatically think that if you are asking them why you are told to do something it is disrespect but in fact is not disrespect it is that the soldier is trying to learn from them. If I remember correctly the Non Commissioned Officer Creed states “Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind-accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I am aware of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my soldiers and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment.” But it seems that only a few of the Non Commissioned Officers respect the lower enlisted. Why should soldiers’ words get twisted and why is that NCO’s are not respecting the soldiers and their needs. We need to be respected that is one of the many needs of the soldiers of today. That is why a lot of soldiers act out against Non Commissioned Officers. Ok so disrespect is all on what that person
“The United States Army is structured on several values and principles that it upholds, among these are military bearing, discipline and respect. These principles represents what the organization strongly believes in and governs the most basic customs and courtesies that all its members should abide by, otherwise legal repercussion and punishment is enforced that could ultimately result in separation from the organization.” The standards must be met by Soldiers or they can face a number of repercussions such as, barring from re-enlistment or even separation. Non commissioned officers should always uphold the standards so that all Soldiers know what they are and what can happen to them if they do not meet the standard. “One is to observe a sense of calmness even in the most stressful situations, leaders of the United States Army should maintain their military bearing even in situations where it seems chaotic, out of control or a civilian would respond in panic.” The reasoning behind this goes back to situations where non commissioned officers would have to make fast decisions in a war zone that may impact the lives of their Soldiers. In a battlefield situation their Soldiers are relying on their non commissioned officer to make a quick decision and trusting that decisions made are the best out of all situations given. Non commissioned officers should be able to make big decisions with all his confidence projecting with his military bearing. “A leader should look like a
I endeavor to establish and maintain rapport with my students, and among my students, with the goal of creating an environment of respect in my classroom. This classroom culture of respect is essential to an effective learning environment.
I believe that unconditional positive regard is very common especially in the examples stated in the book. It is also common because we ourselves what the unconditional love and acceptance therefore we put that onto others. The unconditional positive regard I believe in my circumstance and many others would be family, for instance my immediate family. My mother and father no matter my behaviors or actions would give me love and empathy even with suffering consequences for those actions.
Treat others how you want to be treated - If you consider certain behaviors as disrespectful or selfishly when others do it to your person, don 't do the same to your peers. Treat others with respect and integrity, and the same shall be given to you in return. Think of the law of reciprocity, and try to create a better atmosphere for everyone.
Respect is instilled into children from the time they are born. It is the number one rule that they have been taught over and over again. At this moment in time, it can be argued that there are a few issues in society. Of these issues, almost all of them could be fixed with respect. That is the reason why respect is taught to young children, because it is so vital in order to function as a society. If there was no respect in society, society would crumble, and everything would cause a ripple effect.
