Respect is a positive attitude of one person to another with recognition of the merits of the latter's personality. As a rule, respect for a person is developed under certain circumstances and becomes a guarantee of strong friendship and just good relations.
Respect concept
In a modern state, respect for the dignity, rights and freedoms of the individual is one of the key principles of society, according to which there should be no intolerance towards people in society, regardless of their origin, lifestyle and other distinctive features. Nevertheless, a person singles out for himself a separate circle of people worthy of respect, adhering to his own opinion.
Respect for a person most often arises when he has certain positive qualities, for example, he always speaks the truth, has no bad habits, leads a healthy lifestyle and plays sports, is smart and earns good money, while occupying a prominent position in society. Thus, in the presence of several positive qualities in a person at once, simple respect for him can develop into admiration for him and even adoration. Often such people are appreciated by those who would like to be like them in something.
A person's actions are also capable of arousing respect for him in others. In modern society, those people who help others are especially appreciated, do not stand aside if an unpleasant situation has happened to someone.
The role of mutual respect in society
Respect for each other, as a rule, are those people who have something in common. For example, members of the work collective, as well as students of educational institutions, most often in good relations, listen to each other's opinions, show politeness and all kinds of respect. In this case, the same applies to each other, for example, athletes from the same section, party members, housemates and others. However, it should be remembered that everyone deserves to be respected regardless of their appearance, character or behavior. Failure to do so leads to an increase in selfishness and other negative aspects of people.
To earn respect, it is important not to turn away from people and try to show your best side in all situations - at school, at work, among friends and with family.
An unpleasant, but quite common fact in modern society is the respect of those who belong to the same nationality, culture and even skin color. Other people are not respected and even despised. All this gives rise to such phenomena as nationalism and racism, becomes the cause of all sorts of crimes and even wars. Society is actively fighting this problem, but it is still widespread throughout the world.
