Respect is a value that we should be teaching by example. Being respectful of people and the opportunities living in our country afford us is yet another way to demonstrate the caliber of a person we are. A respectful person does not name call. This behaviors belittles the person they are trying to label, but it also belittles the person who acts in this way. Labeling others is a form of mental laziness. We are not labels. We are not democrats or republicans, or any other political affiliation, we are people, first and foremost, and should be treating one another with respect. If a person cannot respect another, they are revealing that they have no self-respect for themselves. They are also revealing that they have failed at finding happiness. Happy people are not disrespectful.
Children who are not taught respect grow up to be adults who have no respect. It is up to us as adults to demonstrate to them what respect looks like.
