Respect In this paper I will argue that respect‚ when earned‚ is more stable‚ more specific‚ and allows for a better relationship then when respect is simply demanded.

The 1960’s were‚ in my opinion the most influential decade in the history of the world.

Respect Respect‚ especially in the Army is a very important value to live by. It is much more than just talking kindly and listening to someone‚ it is the process of taking into consideration someone’s emotions‚ feelings and needs.
