Why Is Respect Important

Satisfactory Essays

First of all, having respect is a sign of being a man. Respect sometimes has to be earned or bought. An example of respect being earned is when Henry was a teenager and was selling drugs for Paulie. Henry unfortunately got caught and was put on trial. During the trial he didn’t rat out Paulie and his friends. The family, members of the mob, praised him. At this point, he earned the entire mob, especially Paulie’s trust. Without Paulie’s trust there was no way he could have ever got promoted. Henry also felt apart of a real family for the first time. After this incident everything escalated for Henry. Respect also has to be bought when you are a member of the mob. The mob had to buy the police whenever they became suspicious to protect themselves.
