Do you think a lack of respect is the root of many issues people/society face today?

I think it's just like racism I think it's taught to you as a young child by watching your parents interact with their friends are you over here them on the phone or you just watch them do and say what they feel like saying when you're a kid and that's who you become because that's what you believe in because that's what your parents do and then when you're 18 and you walk away from them and if you cannot see that they were wrong then that's on you those are what I call followers because they still know that it's wrong but they still do it they don't stop and think what they're even saying or even how they're saying to somebody
I can understand people that learn it from their parents are their friends when growing up but when you're 18 and you walk away from your home you become a whole different person you realize that what your parents were teaching you were wrong you realize you get to choose who you want to be in life by the things you say and you do why would you choose to disrespect somebody
People that talk s*** about people people that disrespect other people people that judge other people people that hate on other people are angry people they don't like themselves so of course they're going to disrespect they don't understand the meaning of life is to experience it to become it to become one with everything on this planet it never takes the time to stop and say how come this person is happy and I'm not it's because they become one with life they are a Giver of Life their Giver of positive their life flows they don't talk s*** about anybody they don't judge anybody they are happy go lucky because they don't have a problem or drama in their life because they understand we choose who we want to be in life by the things we say and do

Lack of common decency is prevalent amongst the Selfie 🤳 generations. Really wasn’t any hope from 1940s on. When Freud took unconscious…Jung moved unconscious to Dream expression as transition point from internal to external expression then inevitable was to occur. Freudian moved to outward expression via Humanistic Psychology…Person-Centered therapy…Carl Rogers in 1940s and Jung spawned 60s and drug hallucinations/ drugs. Absolute Truth/Global Morality gave way to Moral Relativism at this point.
Carl Rogers is mostly responsible for American deterioration ‼️ Individual “I” greater than Absolutes…atheism, god, goddess, stars, witches started in 50s in USA and that’s from witches I know etc.Snowball effect when totally depraved… fallen man works freely in and among himself.

Yes!
There was a question on here that I will never forget. Here it is:
Do we really have to say please and thank you anymore.
That is very telling of what the younger generations is thinking as far as respect goes.
I am like you and did what your examples to live by said. Opening and holding doors for people. Always saying pleas, thank you, I appreciate it, etc.
I remember when I was working for this lady, everything I did for her everyday, she would never used to say thank you when I put it on her desk. And this was in the early 90's. I did say "You're welcome" to her. I think it went over her head though.

I guess we can say so...
*Scam/Spam:
Lack of respect, thinks that has nothing else better to do.
*Murder
Lack of respect, feelings, empathy
*Traffic of organs
Greediness, lack of feelings, empathy, respect.
*Traffic of drugs
Greediness, lack of empathy, respect (possibly)
*Corruption
Greediness, lack of empathy, respect
*Discrimination
Lack of respect, empathy
*Genocide
Lack of respect, empathy again
There's probably loads of others issues humany face, but seems like the "lack of respect" can fit in most of them...

It’s ignorance and self righteousness… Everyone’s right. Nobody’s wrong.

Yes, this falls strongly with romantic relationships as well.
I believe that if partners were respectful of each other less people would have broken relationships.
People would also have the ability to respect themselves and walk away from a relationship they do not want and end the relationship peacefully.
Respect starts with respecting ourselves and learning to be courtesy to others who do not respect themselves or others.
It is best not to reflect someone's unhealthy behavior, it's better to reflect someone you can respect for yourself and project positive or neutral behaviors to create a healthy influence on those who lack it. -
Umm, I think it would be lack of responsibilities.
Constructing what to respect about and how you actually get and give it in day to day basis is one of them.
Though, it's time consuming and who has time for that?
Well, there are some. Philosophers been on this for a long time.
But one thing for sure is that everything is negotiable, if there's no tyranny.
Maybe, it's better to call it the lack of willingness to negotiate?
I do think the unwillingness to negotiate is the root of many issues.
It's mostly this in current life: I want this as I want it without much negotiation.
And if you do negotiate, you're most likely also communicate. Another thing to learn about.

Yes pretty much but more precisely the self-centred attitude so many people show. In so many situations nearly everybody seems to want to get the most for themselves not caring about other differing opinions and standpoints.
That way people split up in echo chambers and don´t talk to each other. That way no social problem will ever be solved unless people learn to live with the fact that there are people that not only don´t share their opinion but also share a complete opposite opinion.
I see it in politics where one side attacks the other, I see it in dating and I see in nearly every kind of aspect. It´s lack of allowing people to have an opinion unless it´s the same as yours.
To be fair though not every statement is an opinion but people have become very sensitive of what is right and wrong.

No I think a lack of ability for people to comprehend things that goes past There own intelligence and ability to recognize when someone Is struggling is the reason.
Cynicism (Ancient Greek: κυνισμός) is a school of thought of ancient Greek philosophy as practiced by the Cynics (Ancient Greek: Κυνικοί; Latin: Cynici). For the Cynics, the purpose of life is to live in virtue, in agreement with nature.
By the 19th century, emphasis on the negative aspects of Cynic philosophy led to the modern understanding of cynicism to mean a disposition of disbelief in the sincerity or goodness of human motives and actions. - 349 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
I'll give everyone a baseline level of respect but I confess that level often drops once they open their mouths.
But I agree, a lot of problems seem to stem from feeling a need to ride roughshod over others and that just causes long term problems -
All perspectives are changing along with our culture 24/7... who defines respect? Humans are no more greedy and stupid today as they were back then. But now we have more "outlets" to show how crazy we are, such as the internet. We don't have many records of stupid things humans were doing in the 1500s as we do today, for example.
The issues society faces today are the same as the ones we faces since we existed, IMO- they just take on different forms, but we still struggle with the same human shit. We will always wonder if we are doing "right or wrong". - 329 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
Respect, kindness, love, empathy, understanding, minding their own business, there's a lot wrong with people nowadays.
Parents who don't like how the public schools are ran & what's being taught should pull their kids from public school & home school their children.
People who don't like LGBTQIA shouldn't have LGBTQIA relations.
If you're turning a blind eye to police brutality, it's only a matter of time before you're the one getting beat senseless & possibly killed for no reason.
If you hate that your kid has access to books, don't ban then for everyone because YOU'RE uncomfortable with it.
If you hate abortion DONT GET ONE! and I hope none of your loved ones require one to save their life! -
The thing is, you can't FORCE respect from another person. Either they respect you or they don't. Some people even believe that respect has to be EARNED! I am one of them. If you do something disrespectful to me or my loved ones, why should I still respect you? ? ! See what I mean? !
Then, there's just accepting incompatibility in dating and respecting the person's wishes, to date or not to date, etc. That's different and it's something, once matured I guess (even if it's painful), is still something you should do.
Then there's people that only respect themselves! They are THAT narrow minded and control happy and narcissistic that they can only think about THEIR wants and needs and respecting another person as being valuable or having thoughts that differ from their own? ! Forget it.

No. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of people walking around today acting like they ain't got no momma. But I think this site is a good example. We've engineered and are continuing to engineer society so we don't even have to look at and talk to eachother. If somebody doesn't fit our life rather than talk to and try to learn how our differences are unique and how meeting someone different can change us in profound ways. We instead to just exclude them from our lives. Technology has the ability to bring people together but the reality is it has actually driven us more apart. One of the founding members of Facebook (not mark Zuckerberg obviously) even said "we got this wrong".

Yes lack of respect and lack of communication, also assumptions like wrong allegations are dangerous - people who are high on EGO intentionally / unintentionally do this and one should stay away from such people. Some people do it on the name of sarcasm which also toxic.
-
You are definitely on point. I agree. Just from my experience being married to narcissist, it has a lot to do with men feeling the need to exert their dominance more. You would think they would evolve past that with women becoming more in power but it has made a lot of them feel inferior & ego has no respect. It will all shift eventually
-
Yes. people my age w/kids just give them the phone or tablet. They expect the internet to teach them everything. A kid isn't gna learn proper manners, respect, and values on the damn internet!

What is respect? Obedience?
Respect a way of treating or thinking about something or someone. I grew up with friends who respected me so much that I experienced a bond but I didn't appreciate it. It was normal and familiar and that is the first step to love. Until when I grew up and found not everyone is like that they destroy bonds with strangers that they never knew.
I turn to the bible that Peter said do you love me to Jesus and he spoke and they exemplified respect. That if you love someone you feed the lambs. In other words you give back.. So in that way respect is vital.

Big time, yes. Among others that generally tie in.

One big flaw of the world scale society is our focus is too much on celebrities and too little on those who have given their lives to save lives of those unknown to them.
Those who have made the highest sacrifice to the greater good deserve the highest level of respect, let alone highest of salaries. -
Nah. I see plenty of respect but a lot of shitty attitudes that still get put out.
I work as a bouncer. People respect you until it's time to throw them out for punching a bartender. Then I'm a f** and I'm straight.
People think respect is the be all, end all, because they think they're entitled to it. Thing is, people don't act respectful, they act entitled.
And I ain't saying society doesn't have problems. I'm saying that the answer isn't "Give me that!" or more free money or tearing down statues to dead guys/girls. The answer is living a virtuous life. If you're no working, smoking weed, getting in fights with me, the bouncer, and then complaining about respect... I don't think it starts with society or people, I think it starts with you.

I believe this is very probable. We seem to be more likely than ever to be disrespectful to each other when we as people have different opinions or different beliefs. This is possibly a reason as to why we seem so divided as a country in the US at least. I don't think we respect each other because we're split into a few camps liberal (dems) and conservatives (Republicans) and we don't look at each other as fellow americans. Many people today look at each other as enemies and less than human.
