What Is Worthy Of Respect

Improved Essays
Emotionally based opinions are not worthy of respect. Free expression is fine, but just because someone shouts something out, it doesn’t mean that there are facts behind it. I will respect them as a person for expressing their own opinion, but if it is just something out of their head, no, it is not worthy of respect. For example, if two people are having an argument of social media, and only one person is being reasonable, then the other person is arguing for no absolute reason. When people fight over social media, I find it extremely irrelevant because they are expressing how they feel about something, but just to start drama or something. Then again, I understand that people may go emotional sometimes, and yes sometimes I may respect them but only if its reasonable. Like, I can and will always respect a person. Even if sometimes their opinions are irrelevant to the topic. I know I would want people to respect my opinions but then again, I am not just saying opinions out of the blue with all emotion. …show more content…
If a person repeatedly says factually correct opinions then it is worthy of my respect, because they are expressing something to me that is true. If I am the one asking their opinion, then it will be resected because they are being truthfully honest. Honest opinions are well worth respect, but if they are factually true opinions then they are automatically worth respect, because sometimes you think “Oh is this true?” and then you decide whether it is worthy of respect. I will just not respect an opinion fully based on emotion. Emotional opinions are just not relevant to anything. You can’t win an argument with an opinion based on emotion, you just can’t. The opinion is just not worth

    In order to want to be respected you must respect others in a way you’ve never imagined. Sirolli learns through his experiences that we need to ask people if they need or want any kind of help, instead of just assuming they do and pushing the help on them. In my opinion, I agree that for some reason we tend to speculate things are done the same way we do them without even coming to a conclusion that these people aren’t from the same country. In Sirolli’s speech “Ted Talk”, he notes that respect is a huge priority, secondly that we just take control everywhere we go and last that we do not seem to understand that others have ideas, but may need a little help to bring them out. All in all, the examples that I provided imply that assumptions we make are not respectful towards others.…

    Lecture 1: Respect, Dignity and Culture This lecture, on Aboriginal cultural safety, was an informative emersion into the Aboriginal way of life. It helped me, personally, begin to develop, an understanding of Aboriginal’s culture and traditions. However, in my limited life experience, interactions with Aboriginals, have been through negative observations. From news bulletins on television, write ups in the community newspaper, to crossing the street and avoiding a swearing, intoxicated Indigenous male. It is a real contrast, to the respectful Aboriginal introduction Gningla Taylor presented, when Aboriginals encounter another person.…

    Bad Feminist Roxane Gay writes a book, “Bad Feminist”, where she breaks the stereotype of feminists to inform the public what it signifies to be a feminist. She explains to the readers that she is a “bad feminist because I never want to be placed on a Feminist Pedestal” (Gay xi). This “Feminist Pedestal” she mentions throughout the book is a figurative symbol that depicts the women who ought to be flawless since they are the face of feminism, yet whenever they do something wrong, “we knock them right off and then say there’s something wrong with feminism” (Gay x).…

    Using pathos is a good strategy to convince others to side with you. An example would be when Blumner stated how “American soldiers think they are fighting for the good USA, but in reality war was never good for liberty.” By her stating, this it creates the audience or reader to take the time to think about how war is and if it is good for the citizens liberty or not. This is not valid evidence due to it being her own emotions and her own opinion. She may think that war is not good for liberty but others may think different it lacks actual…

    So, recently I read Deborah Tannen's 1994 essay "The Triumph of the Yell", in which she laments the deterioration of modern-day debate due to its over-combative nature. She argues that framing debates as a fight between opposing extremes obstructs the truth rather than bringing it to light. While I was reading it, I couldn't help but think of the anime fan community (as well as the gaming community, and the sad state of U.S. politics) and the "debates" that take place within it. Far too often, they turn into unintelligible battles of ad hominem attacks and self-serving logic, rather than anything of real substance. Much of this boils down to the idea that anyone who doesn't agree with you is either a "fanboy" or "elitist".…
