Respect is simply treating people how you would want them to treat you. getting over prejudices and looking at them for their qualifications , not colors, not smells, not religion, not anything else. Not doing or saying things around people that you know don't like that kind of stuff. Respect is a general apperance of caring about what other people think of you and trying not to hurt feelings or offend people. There is a time and place for all things. Respect is learning where different things are appropriate.

If integrity is steadfast adherence to some kind of guiding principle or belief, and the refusal to veer from that course even when it means you might be embarrassed or otherwise uncomfortable...\n\nIn my own life, integrity is one of the *most* important guiding factors of my behavior and decisions and comments.  Without it, I would not respect myself; maybe not even like myself.  Living without honesty (to myself and others) is living without reality!  I can have forays into dishonesty in the sense of playing a role or having an adventure.  But I am always aware of the game, and that means I am being true to myself.  \n\nOthers deserve my honesty as much as I do, and they deserve the real me -- or maybe I just prefer sharing the real me.\n\nHonor isn't a word I connect with as readily.  I believe I live my life with honor, now that I think about it.  I can see how it goes along with integrity, but just isn't a concept I think much about.  \n\nLife for everyone would probably be immeasurably improved if we all were conscious of integrity and how good it makes us feel about ourselves... how comfortable in our own skin.  \n\nI often fantasize about a world where people treat each other with respect and, ok, honor.  Where people have the *courage* to tell the truth when asked a question, and to be themselves in a crowd, say, rather than become a total jerk and expend so much energy putting up a front.  I can't claim to have always lived as I've described and wanted.  But I constantly strive for it, and wish others did, too, more than they seem to.\n\nWouldn't it be wonderful to know you could leave something belonging to you unlocked and unguarded... and it would not vanish? ... to know you could meet someone and learn much sooner who they really were, and if you had compatible interests, beliefs and experiences?... to know you could live your life free of rude jerks (and I'm being kind) who don't have the integrity to respect your time, your feelings, your thoughts, your belongings, your space...?\n\nAnd isn't it a great feeling to *relax* and be your true self??  To know that whatever is true is ok, in some way? ... that there's no need to hide, and that hiding takes a lot more energy than a life of integrity?  \n\nWhat an improvement in life we'd experience if we all had that inner motivation to be the ultimate guide.  Imagine people doing the right thing, not because they'd otherwise get *caught*, but because it's the right thing.  Imagine someone thinking they *wouldn't* get caught... getting that bootleg movie online, say, filing a fraudulent insurance claim, or stealing from a store, yet they *don't* do it because it's wrong.  Imagine a misguided teen knowing that having a buddy say it's alright to do something bad doesn't *make* it alright.  Or standing up to peer pressure by not joining a gang or hate group or the others who pick on the "unusual" kid -- because of integrity standing guard where there's fear of rejection.\n\nTo have integrity could also mean to be whole, as in to have a healthy, comfortable mix of personality traits, interests, pastimes... to have balance in how you spend your time and your energy, in what you think about, and in your emotions.\n\nIf everyone had these things (and more that I'm failing to articulate), there would be little need to lash out at others in words or violence.  We wouldn't have to put others down to feel good about ourselves.  We wouldn't all be so "bored" and looking for superficial thrills and distractions to impress someone or feel momentarily happy.  There would be less reason to distrust.  Less fear would mean less over-reaction to words or events, and more reason and rationality.  I could go on and on.\n\nYes, these things are critically important, and sadly, not as well appreciated as they could be.

Special Ed... you spelled a four syllable word.... YAAA! (smile)\n\nThere will always be too many self-rightous or egotistical people in this world who will treat others with disdain.  However, many treat others with respect and dignity.  The issue here is...  what we choose to do and who we choose to be.

One definition is, "strong moral character or strength, and adherence to ethical principles." How it applies to anyone is a personal issue, some of us have it, some don't. Bureaucrats are no exception.

Respecting others will earn respect for you in their eyes. People don't realize they need to put down their pride & understand that people are people, no one is better than anyone else!

Part of being in college is learning to be an adult and preparing for a professional career. Students will learn what is and isn't apprpriate on their own. A dress code takes away the chioce of students. Making good decisions is part of learning to be responsible. They will realize that the image they put forth matters when professors and employers show a lack of respect based on how they look.

Josephson Institute of Ethics defines character as: How we act when no one is looking.\n\nI would say that technically things are illegal even before you are caught.

I'd love to say that the Parents and not the schools should be teaching ethics and morals, but alas, that's not a very dependable approach.  Children of all ages should be taught about tolerance for others, acceptance, kindness, duty and service (to anything: be it class, school, city, state, or country, they should be taught to contirbute to something other than themselves), intergrity and honesty (reardless of faith or lack of faith, all religions agree on this), and the legal rights and wrongs (regardless of whatever moral objections or not one may have- the law is the law).  Ethics and morals are best taught in the context of history and current afairs and should be an open dialouge, not a moral lesson to be preached from teh teacher's desk.  That's what religious services are for if one cooses to attend.

True nobility that comes from the heart & character of an individual, not given to them by lineage either.  It's nothing based on outer trappings as far as I'm concerned.  It is a manner & attitude of compassion, understanding, intelligence, & the willingness to listen and try to make a difference in the lives of others.

If you possess abilities,recognised principles, and positive attitude towards life and you are conscious of such features in your personality,you will definitely respect yourself. Consequently, other people will respect you in appreciation of your merits and will try to emulate you. One must have some thing exceptional in him or her to become a role model for others. As such, people respect those who respect themselves.
