what is respect ?

[coralie]

What is respect?

..."Many would define respect as “being courteous” or “having good manners.” However, respect involves much more than these limited meanings. Respect involves caring about how other people feel."

..."There are many types of respect: Respect for the safety of others, for property, for your parents, teachers, or others, for the environment, for different races, cultures, beliefs , and Honor . Courtesy, politeness, and manners are only small elements in the real meaning of respect. Respect is, and always will be, a foundation in the development of high fundamental values....."

how fo YOU define respect ?

[Omeros]

respect = love, trust ....giving without conditions .....accept the other like he is...love him like he is....love the bad side in him and when u'll do it u'll be abel 2 respect him
ma3 2eno i hate the technical word "respect" i feel like society make that choice to specify wt are limits between ppl or the true respect is 2 love without conditions

Respect is NEVER to use harch, hurting, disrespectful language against another before gathering the facts to see if they deserve to be cursed.
Respect is to listen to another no matter what they have to say, and whenever they need to say it.
Respect is never to judge another except by their actions and their own words.

There is a lot more to respect. Age and life experience have a lot to do with truly understanding respect.

EXACTLY:)
CZ THOSE hurting ....diserspectful ....can destroy the other ....2eno 2ad ma ykoun the friend close after all those hurt him ...so respect according to those caracteristique is "primordial"
the question over here : how much the other can accept to be insulted ?

Respect is to listen to another no matter what they have to say, and whenever they need to say it.

respect to is : to respect the other if he want 2 listen or no

Respect is never to judge another except by their actions and their own words.

لا اعرف لم هناك دائما ارتباط بين موضوع الثقة وموضوع الاحترم ربما لان ان لم يكن هناك ثقة لا يوجد احترام للاخر ...فان فقدت الثقة كيف يبقى الاحترام ففقدان الثقة لا تعني ان الاخر هو كاذب او خائن بل تعني انني انا لم اعد اصدق

[DITOU]

The most important thing is to have self respect .

Once we respect ourselves we cant but respect others who ever they are we accept them and deal with them in a respectfull way even if we are verry different .
This has nothing to do with trust , trust is a totaly different thing i can be respectfull with any one even if i dont trust him because i respect my self .

[Faithful]

For me Respect means accepting the other as he is, accepting him as a different person but in equally with me. The first thing i have to do is taking his feeling and his rights into consideration. I treat him as i like to be treated. Give respect, Get Respect.

It's not important if i love him, We should respect all people but not necessarily love them all. Love and respect ma khassoun bi ba3doun.

الاحترام : هو اولا يفرض ولا يعطى هو الشئ الوحيد الذي يفرض ان لم يعطني الاخر سببا لاحترمه فانا لن افعل بالعكس وهذا لا يعني انني لا احترم هذا يدل ان هذا الفرد تعدى حدوده ويجب ان اعيده اليها
فمثلا : من لا يتوقف السخرية على مبادئي او فكري ...لن اتوارى عن الفعل بالمثل الا وان ذلك باسلوب راق ومن خلال المنطق ...هذا تصرف محترم لكن نظرتي اليه بالرغم من التصرف هي نظرة احتقار ..فالذي يسخر من مبداي سياتي يوم وسيسخر مني ....هكذا فرد لا يستحق الدخول اطار حياتي

الاحترام او احترام فكر الاخر لا يعني عدم مناقشة الاخر في افكاره بالعكس هذا ضروري اولا لفهم الاخر وايضا لتوسيع الثقافة الانسانية .....ولكن ذلك يجب ان يكون وفق دلائل محددة غير همجية ..وانو يلا حكينا ....
فمثلا منذ قليل كنت اقرا احدهم يقول : انو صار بدا اقفال المواضيع الدينية فلا احد يحترم الدين ...الا وان هذا الشخص كان اكثر من يتمسخر على الدين يتمسخر ولا يناقش وهناك فرق ...هذا الفرد لم يرى علته ورمى العلة على الاخرين .... اين الاحترامم منه ...اصلا ليس المطلوب مني احترامه لانه لم يحترم احد ....

مفهوم الاحترام ضائع فب المجتمع وكل يرى نفسه المرجعية ....وكل يقول : انا سيد الاحترام انا رب الاحترام انا خالقه وموجده ....وكلمتي هي الاصح

Maybe this person was engaging in useful dialogue previously about religion and when he saw that his words were futile and useless he decided that it is best to fight fire with fire and went on the offensive after seeing his own religion being rediculed by poeple who got extremely offended when their own religious views got scrutinised in a way that rubbed them up the wrong way. This monkey could also think that you may be a donkey becuase you may have not shown respect towards his or her views on religion. Anyway I really do not know what this person is thinking or feeling, you will have to speak to him personally about this issue, face up and do not be fearful....

ربما هذا الشخص ....كلماته لم تكن مقنعة لانه لم يعتمد نهج منطقي ..وتكلم وفقا لمشاعره لا عقله ولم يقنع الاحد الاخر ....اصلا من هو ليقرر ..انو اذا كلمت هذا الفرد لم تضج ولم تفرقع الاذان ياخذ القرار في المسخرة؟ اهذا تصرف محترم ؟ اهكذا يكون الاحترام ؟
مفهومك للاحترام خاطئ ....هو ليسس السن بالسن وليس العين بالعين ...واصلا اصلا ان انتقد احد ما فكر الاخر بطريقة موضوعية مع اثباتات هذا لا يدل على عدم احترام ...لكن الفكر العربي ما يزال محبوس يحبس فكره وعقله بحجة : " اوعى والدين " على كل حال كل انسان يستطيع اطلاق الشتائم لكن هو من يظهر قلة احترامه والكبير هو الذي يرد بطريقة سوية
