Topic Sentence

Respect is the acknowledgment that someone or something has value. The showing of thoughtfulness and consideration. To refrain from intruding upon or interfering with. To respect a person's privacy. To relate or have reference to. Respect is commonly the result of admiration and approbation, together with deference. To feel respect for a great scholar. Esteem is deference combined with admiration and often with affection. To hold a friend in great esteem.





As a sign of respect in almost any form of the military is a salute. A salute is used by enlistees to show respect to officers (and vice-versa; to not return a salute to a subordinate is considered offensive) and by officers to those of higher rank. The 21-gun salute is done within the military for funerals of military members and for high-ranking civilians such as the President.





Respect has great importance in everyday life. As children we are taught (one hopes) to respect our parents, teachers, and elders, school rules and traffic laws, family and cultural traditions, other people's feelings and rights, our country's flag and leaders, the truth and people's differing opinions. And we come to value respect for such things; when we're older, we may shake our heads (or fists) at people who seem not to have learned to respect them. We develop great respect for people we consider exemplary and lose respect for those we discover to be clay-footed, and so we may try to respect only those who are truly worthy of our respect.
