Respect

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 different their views (if human) were taught to children so that they could grow up to be respectful people.

Parents
  • Here is my take B.

    The problem is the internet. And reality tv. How people consume information. Young people cut things out so quickly in their mind. they lack empathy because so many of their interactions are not human but digital. The digital world is more easily hijacked by bad actors. 

    I agree with you totally, I was born at the end of the seventies. Everything in my life was about family and real experiences. People cared about each others and were tolerant and behaved most of the time. These were values past on from parents to children, if children didn't behave they were disciplined. The baby boomer generation were highly disciplined for doing wrong. The current generation, and new parental generation have little to no discipline because many of them were sat in front of the internet, instead of playing with friends and toys. In the eighties they said if you watched to much tv you’d get square eyes, that is what a lot of generation z have (square eyes). They don’t understand the world properly they view everything like its for entertainment, this includes others suffering.

    And reality tv because these people are not good role models they only want fame.

    What is scary is how quickly everything can be manipulated with lies, those in power or the media using what we take for granted as safe to exploit us. In other words false narratives - to support their own beliefs or aims.
