Examples Of Being Disrespectful

Decent Essays
Have you ever regretted something? I regret talking back to my grandmother. When I was younger I used to have a smart mouth and talk back to her. Especially when she asked me to do something. I never felt like doing it when she told me to do it. Talking back hurt my grandmother’s feelings. But, of course I don’t do that now because she is getting old. She would do anything she can for me. So, why not do the same for her? You should never talk back or be disrespectful to someone you love, or even any adult. I love my grandmother and I have learned my lesson. Being disrespectful is not cute, so I will never be disrespectful to any adult

Honor and paternalism were very large parts of how slave-owners examined their slaves, bought their slaves, and treated their slaves. Correspondingly, honor and paternalism played a huge part in how slaves reacted towards their master and how good their work quality was, either on the plantation or in the house. In Genovese’s article, On Paternalism, he defined paternalism, according to a slaveholder, as “an attempt to overcome the fundamental contradiction in slavery” and also claimed that, “paternalism defined the involuntary labor of the slaves as a legitimate return to…

    Everyone should treat others respect. No matter how hard it is, you should still at least try because coming out of the situation, you know you did your personal best to be nice to the person.

    There are two types of motives that self-serving people use; for personal gain and for self-preservation. Self-serving people only think about themselves and they rarely ever concern themselves with the thoughts or feelings of others. Generally, the majority of people share the self-serving characteristic in one way or another, and most people are often self-serving without even realizing they are doing so. In the stories “A story of an Hour,” “A Rose for Emily,” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” all three protagonists, Mrs. Mallard, Emily Grierson, and the grandmother all share the self-serving characteristic. Upon learning of her husband’s untimely passing, Mrs. Mallard takes the news, she weeps for a moment and retires to her room.…

    I remember this moment when I was around 6 years old, I went to Florida with my family and was staying at my grandmother’s condo. Outside of the condo was a pool that we went to a lot while we were down there, we called it the hot box, and at that hot box was an old man who seemed to be there every day he could be, with his wife. The man was a neighbor of my grandma when she lived in the condo, and this guy was a nice guy. He smelled of pickles as those were his favorite snack and he goofed off like a 10 year old boy even though he was 91. While in the pool I would always wear goggles, and that older man would always remind me of that.…

    Aristotle claims that to be morally virtuous one must find a mean between two vices. The moral virtue of friendliness is said to be the mean between the vices of obsequious and grouchy. He discusses the idea that it is not right to treat a stranger the same way we would treat someone we know very well. It seems as though people can sometimes be so friendly they become obsequious. Because obsequiousness is an extreme, it can be seen as a negative.…
