Respect
Be tolerant and accepting of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements.

Respect is a positive feeling of esteem or deference for a person or other entity, and also specific actions and conduct representative of that esteem. Respect can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected (e.g., "I have great respect for her accomplishments"). It can also be conduct in accord with a specific ethic of respect. Rude conduct is usually considered to indicate a lack of respect, disrespect, where as actions that honor somebody or something indicate respect. Respect is both given and received. We expect other people to respect us in return for the respect we show them. (I am confident that I respect everyone that crosses my path, I am also certain that it is NOT given in return and I can accept as I am strong at heart.) Respect is also something that is earned. Respect cannot be measured as a quantity, cannot be bought or traded, it is one of those things that is earned and built over time, but that can be lost with one stupid or inconsiderate act. One can ask or beg for respect, but only others can bestow us with respect as a result of their perceived treatment by us. Continued caring interactions are then required to maintain or increase that original earned respect. Respect cannot always be seen or observed by actions, but for those who practice chivalry, the outward display of respect is refreshing. Respect should not be confused with tolerance, since tolerance doesn't necessarily imply subordination to one's qualities but means treating as equal.


Thank you.

"Let ME define respect...." implies that the definition will be your own, and that you have some knowledge of the subject material being discussed.

It is amusing that you do not see the irony in preaching to others about respect, while being disrespectful yourself by copying and pasting someone else's work.

Also, in the future, when "collecting data and distributing facts," you may want to choose a source that is considered factual, i.e., not wikipedia.
