We can demonstrate respect with simple, yet powerful actions. These ideas will help us avoid needless, insensitive, unmeant disrespect, too.…

I believe the Coast Guard Academy will provide me with an excellent education, an opportunity to compete in collegiate athletics, and the ability to serve my country. The CGA’s excellent science program and low student-to-faculty ratio will enable me to excel as a mechanical engineering major. Studying at the CGA will not only give me classroom knowledge of mechanical engineering, it will also give me hands-on, real world experience and practice. Throughout my four years at the CGA, I will have many opportunities to take what I learned in the classroom and apply it to a variety of situations. During my time at the CGA, I will also be able to engage in humanitarian projects, spend my summers on the sea applying the skills learned during the school year, and participate in various clubs and athletic teams. While at CGA, I will not only expand my academic knowledge, but will also further develop my leadership…
Respect is something we should strive to show everyone in our community and abroad. Not only our elders deserve our respect but our peers and subordinates, everyone has individual strengths that should be valued. Respect alone can fill a person with a sense of esteem and confidence. Respect to me is also a feeling of regard for a person.…
A great example of treating people with respect is bullying. Bullying happens all the time at all times of the day. People bully people in school, on the internet, and even at home. Sometimes the bully has the motive to hurt people and break someone else down because they are hurting on the inside themselves. The way they express themselves is the wrong way to do it, but it happens. I remember in school, they always said that a bully becomes a bully when they, themselves had been bullied. It is a serious matter these days because people hurt themselves for being bullied. That goes back to my point where I said that it could impact someone life.…
Coming from humble beginnings as the son of Dominican immigrants, I began my indoctrination into the Navy way of life at an early age. It was from these beginnings that I was instilled with a strong sense of family, loyalty, determination, devotion and trust. I am the youngest person in my family to obtain a bachelor’s degree, the first to enlist into the United States Navy, and I aspire to be the first to achieve my M.A.S. in Criminology. I owe this solid foundation and structure to the influence of my father’s devotion and to the Navy’s guiding principles of honor, courage, and commitment. Despite being full time as an Active Duty member of the United States Navy and working countless hours as a Naval Special Warfare Armorer, I worked diligently…
I know respect is earned and one way you can earn respect is to be open minded and realize that…
Respect means a lot of different things. The actual definition of respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities,qualities, or achievements. To me respect means to listen to people when they are talking to you and to let them know you care about what they have to say.…
Honor to different people can mean completely different things, so it’s almost impossible to come up with one solid definition of what honor is. To some people being a brave soldier and dying for your country is honorable. For others, it’s being a missionary in a poor African country. While the deeds that are considered honorable may be different, I think it all goes back to my point of being an individual and doing what you think is right. Those missionaries don’t go to Africa for a vacation. They go there to bring the word of God. Those soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen aren’t out there dying for no reason, they are risking their lives to ensure America stays free. While those instances maybe different, they have one thing in common, and that is that in both instances the actions are done because of some moral conviction to do what is right. These people are few and far between these days, and it’s really a breath of fresh air to see people with some kind of morality these days.…
Respect is defined as a feeling or understanding that someone or something is important or serious; and should be treated as so.…
Everybody deserves respect, no matter what they've done, although, I make it a priority to respect everybody. I’ve noticed that it comes full circle and sometimes there are times when adversity occurs and a person might not be respectful to you. Turn the other cheek, that is what I have told myself to do. Following respect is the responsibility that everybody carries with them. I can say that I’ve had a good upbringing with good leadership roles and support from my family.…
Respect involves valuing the people you care for, acknowledging their value. This will express itself in certain behaviours for example extending common courtesies, expressing concern for others and their well-being, taking their feelings and experiences seriously.…
Many people know what the words Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage mean. But how often do you see someone actually live up to them? Soldiers learn these values in detail during Basic Combat Training (BCT), from then on they live them every day in everything they do — whether they’re on the job or off. In short, the Seven Core Army Values listed below are what being a Soldier is all about.…
What is respect? Respect can be in various forms. It can be knowledge, self awareness, trust, character, honesty, understanding, and a positive attitude. But respect also has to be earned. If you can’t respect yourself then you won’t be able to respect others. To gain respect you have to treat others the way you would want to be treated. Without respect you can’t have team work and care for other peoples well being.…
Respect means a lot of different things for different people. It includes taking someone’s feelings, needs, thoughts, ideas, wishes and preferences into consideration. It also means taking all of these seriously and giving them value. In fact, giving someone respect seems similar to valuing them and their thoughts and feelings. It also includes recognizing them, listening to them, being truthful with them, and accepting them as an individual. Respect can be shown through actions and it can also be felt. We can act in many ways that are considered respectful, but we can also feel respect for someone and feel respected by someone. Because it is possible to act in ways that do not reflect how we really feel, the feeling of respect is more important than the behavior without the feeling. When the feeling is there, the behavior will naturally follow. Respect once played a important role in our daily lives and our survival. If we think of a tribe walking in the desert we can think that a person not respected by anyone would be left behind to die and that person was considered to have no importance or value in the group. In today’s time it seems much more possible- to be able to survive without being respected. Someone could, for example, inherit a large sum of money, have many workers and salesmen constantly calling him on the daily basis and catering to him, and yet not one of his workers respected him at all. Someone could also make a large amount of money through having one or more talents which are valued, such as being able to dunk a basketball or being able to sing like Whitney Houston yet that person is still disrespected, perhaps because of the way that person treats others. When we are respected we gain the voluntary cooperation of many people. We don’t have to use as much of our energy and resources trying to get our needs met. When people respect one another there are fewer conflicts and there is a lesser chance of someone not taking the other seriously. In…
