R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me.

      We were taught ever since we were little to respect each other. Our parents would tell us to respect our elders every time we talked back. Our teachers taught us the "Golden Rule" treat others the way you want to be treated. All the rules that we were taught in our lives come back to respect.
     Personally I think Aretha Franklin hit it right on the jackpot when it comes to defining respect. Respect is taking other peoples feelings into consideration, being kind to others, and showing admiration towards others. Overall I think the best definition of respect is that respect is building someone up instead of tearing them down. That is what respect means to me.
