With every day that goes by, it seems the idea of respect in our country, communities, and online exchanges is dwindling to a lost art form.

~ Respect for ideas that are different.

~ Respect for people who are different.

~ Respect to EVERYONE in public discourse.

~ Respect without judgement for those who are down on their luck.

~ Respect for our elders.

~ Respect for the ill and infirm, no matter how they got to that point.

~ Respect for life in all forms.

~ A healthy respect for our enemies.

~ Respect and regard for our bodies, keeping them clean and wholesome as well as healthy. And keeping access to them a private thing, in person, with only someone we love.

~ Respect for our own privacy...why are we sharing every detail of our personal lives with the world at large, instead of with treasured people in real time and in person?

~ Respect for thoughtful, intelligent commentary instead of media sensationalized sound bites.

~ Respect for the wisdom of experience.

~ Respect for people of all beliefs or no particular belief system.

~ Respect shown in the form of common manners and keeping foul language in the locker room.

~ Respect shown by turning your cell phone off every once in a while and noticing the people around and across the table from you....and talking quietly when you DO have to be on it.

~ Respect for the office of President of the United States, no matter the occupant.

Much of the tension in our country could be solved by just saying "YES" to respect!

unfortunatly it seems some people beleive you have to earn respect.
it is sad that everyone just doesnt show respect to all. It would make the world a better place

I respect everybody until they give me a reason not to. Unfortunately far too many have given me that reason.

Respect along with Morals seems to be a dying breed.....

i agree with most of them..

If it gets too bad, there will be like a sort of revolution within people's thinking, like collectively, so hold on, sister, because it has to get real bad before that happens.

. this I agree with too however..if my partner doesnt respect his body and shares it with someone else.... or someone whom tried to step in and tried to access my partner privately or in public

is also different than me.... and even though i respected and regard for my own body and did all these things if one didnt do that for me then i would not respect them either

yes...because we are becoming the country (world?) of compromise rather than a place where integrity has value.

The things that you have mentioned are givens. I am speaking in the broader term of general civility in our daily lives. There have been times in our country that were much more tumultuous than those we are currently living in, but where people were still able to talk to each other, instead of yelling at or insulting one another.
