What I do to show respect is say, “please and Thank you”. I do it everyday, it is the right th9ng to do. Also I show sportsmanship in sports. A lot of other people are cocky, but I am not. I do the right thing. I might have done this in my life once and so did everyone else. I can’t think of a time when I haven't though. I usually don’t do the wrong thing. There are many ways that somebody can show a lack of respect. People don’t use their manners. People also don’t clean up after themselves. Things like that. Also they could just be rude and mean. Sometimes my friend shows lack of respect. When I am mad, he usually just makes jokes out of it. Also, when I tell him to stop, he says, “no”. The effect that it has on his life is that he could be a rude person a lot. My favorite football player is David Wright. He shows respect every time he plays. He is respectful to somebody if they mess up. Also he is not cocky. If they win, he just high fives his teammates.
ReplyDelete1) What you do to show respect is you be nice and generous to people. If you're mean to them, you're disrespecting them and not respecting them. To show respect you could say please and thank you. If someone sneezes you say bless you. That is an act of respect.
ReplyDelete2)The time you could fail this is if you and someone else are fighting. When you're fighting with someone none of you are showing respect you say things that you might not mean or say something to hurt one another. If or when you're fighting with someone, you might wanna forgive them and become friends again.
3) Someone can lack respect for themselves if they aren't happy by the way they look or if they think they are ugly. You lack respect if you call yourself ugly and if you hurt yourself. Everyone should love themselves for the way they are and shouldn't change for anyone.
4) The person that i know that always does bad things is my old friend. He's always getting in trouble, fighting with someone, stealing, tagging, etc. He's hurting himself because he wants to be a police officer and he's not gonna be one because of all the bad stuff he does. He does it to impress his friends and it's not making him look good. This is why i don't chill with him anymore.
5) My mother is always doing something right. She is just so respectful to everyone. She always says please and thank you and have taught all her kids good manners and how to respect. She is my role model. I always think of her as a role model. She has impacted my life so much and i love her for making me the person that i am today

There are many ways to show lack of respect for your self.One of them is bad hygiene.Another is not making sure you are eating correctly
I have seen it a lot even at this scho
i do the same thing hunter and that is very sweet and very respectful to always treat people with the respect that we would want someone to treat us and expecially Veterans that take there lives trying to serve for our country is very brave and VERY kind.
DeleteI show respect by not disrespecting what they want so i always support them even if i don't like their decision. I also show respect by not talking bad about them or breaking there things when it's left at my house.
ReplyDeleteA time i have failed to do this was when i was talking while someone else was talking. Also a time i failed this is by going on my phone while the teacher is talking
They might show lack of respect to themselves by not caring about what they look like. Also it could be if they don't take good care of themselves and not care what they do in life meaning like they don't care what bad things they do.
I can think of someone who consistently demonstrating disrespectful behavior. This effect that can happen is them not getting good grades because they keep getting kicked out of class and not having the work., they also can have it affect them because if they do get kicked out they don't learn the same amount everyone else does because they don't have as much to time go over it and get it explained to the them. Also with that them always failing can causes getting held back or not being able to be in college.
I know a couple people that consistently demonstrate respectful behavior. The way it affects their life is that they get more chances . they get reward for their behavior. They will get a good education by it and succeed in life.
1. What do you do to show respect?
ReplyDeleteI show respect by treating people the way I would like to be treated. If everybody were to do this I also try to consider other people’s feelings when talking with them. You have to put yourself in their shoes and try to understand how they feel.
2. Can you think of a time when you failed to do this?
I failed to do this when I cursed out my dad. He was going through something and I disregarded his feelings. I’ve apologized so many times because I felt so bad after the whole situation.
3. How might someone show lack of respect for himself/herself?
They would show it if they didn’t like someone or their beliefs. Also if someone is not showing you respect why would you bother to show any respect to them. I would also not show someone respect if I believe they don’t deserve it.
4. Can you think of someone who stands out by consistently demonstrating disrespectful behavior? What effect does this have on his/her life?
My cousin shows a lot of disrespect to everyone. He sometimes curses them off or doesn’t what he is asked to do. The effect that I see is that nobody really hangs out with him or talks to him. So basically since he doesn’t show respect to anyone, no one associates themselves with him.
5. Can you think of someone who stands out by consistently demonstrating respectful behavior? What effect does this have on his/her life?
Someone who shows respect consistently is my father. No matter what, even if someone is screaming at him he will conduct himself in a civil matter and be respectful towards him. Through this he is very respected. If anyone has a problem they usually go to him for guidance. So since he is respectful consistently he is treated for the most part well, has a happy life, and is very happy.
1. what i do to show respect is that i say a lot but the main thing i always say is "Please and Thank you" because i just find it rude for someone to ask for something without saying please or somebody giving you a gift and you not saying thank you. i also show respect by being nice to people and showing them respect on how i would like to be talked to by someone.
ReplyDelete2. yes there was a time when i failed this was when i was really mad at my sister and was taking it out on my brother and being disrespectful to my mom. But i no that it is wrong and you should always be respectful no matter what.
3. i sometimes show lack of respect when someone doesn't do it back to me or when i hold the door for someone and they just let the other door hit me and don't even say thank you that's when i show lack of respect to that person.
4. yes i can when someone is always being disrespectful and misbehaving all the time that is how you know they have no respect in anything or anyone. This happened to my cousin, she was so kind to everybody but than she started to hang out with the wrong people and started coping them and how they do not show respect and she started losing her friends because of that.
5. The one who always shows respectful behavior all the time is my parents my mom never gets into a fight and is always kind to everyone and doesn't care what people have to say and my dad is respectful too and always shows us to be that too because for one it is just nice to and u wont lose your friends by being disrespectful and being rude.
I just think that everyone will get through life by being respectful and always keeping it cool with people. No body should ever be rude or anything to anyone. Your siblings don't count because everybody always fights with there brother/sister here and there.
To show respect I am nice to others. I am kind and with help other people with things such as holding the door.

I can show respect by doing nice things to people. I can also treat other people how i want to be treated. Such as giving a pencil when they need it to write notes.
ReplyDeleteThe time that I failed to respect someone or respect in general was when i was young and I didn't open the door for anyone. Also sometimes i don't look at people in the eye when i talk to them. Other than those two i can't think of any other times.
People might show lack of respect for themselves by not accepting who they are or how they look. Sometimes they need to have the right mindset. Having a positive attitude is also something people might show.
Some people in this school stand out everyday with disrespectful behavior. This can affect their life with becoming a bully or being rude to other people. It also can affect the other person by not being confident or they will follow in their footstep and become the bully.
