Respect

B

I think it's somewhat lacking these days.

I see a lack of it everywhere:

The way people relate to one another

The way people drive

The rubbish thrown away in public spaces

The trashing of our natural environment

The shouty politics

Cruelty to wildlife

What do you think?

I personally think the world would be a much better place if respect for everyone and everything, however different to us, and differing their views (if human) were taught to children so that they could grow up to be respectful people.

  • A general lack of basic common decency in society perhaps? It all seems to be about shouting 'respect me' but not showing any themselves?

    I've always lived by the rule to treat others as you wish to be treated yourself, and putting others first, so can never get my head around other people not doing so too. I get physically uncomfortable when people are even rude to others, and anything else is a sorrow.
