Disrespect
The word disrespect is an act of putting someone down and sometime when people think
they’re being disrespected sometimes leads to something, “dangerous especially young men”
said a criminologist. When someone thinks that they are being disrespected it isn’t usually what
we think it is; but in their minds they think it is rude, then it results in them thinking that they
were just disrespected.
The feeling of being disrespected enrages people a lot. Sometimes you will feel altruistic,
“Acting with an unselfish regard for others doesn't always come naturally, even though many
psychologists believe we're hard-wired for empathy since cooperative behavior allowed our
ancestors to survive under harsh conditions. But most of us realize that when we make the effort
to give without expectations of reciprocity, we feel fulfilled and energized” or in other words you
want to give your help freely but sometimes you could think that that person wasn’t being
altruistic because they don’t want to give you their help. And most of the time it is usually in
their head or it’s their conscience telling you that you were disrespected.
Does it really matter here is a question you should ask yourself before you get very angry
or something “will this matter in one year from now?” And the actual question is “are you sure
you WERE actually disrespected?” People don’t make it their goal to disrespect another person
so maybe they had a bad day or something like that.
Disrespect is an act of putting someone down, when you get cut off on the road or you
get cut off when you are talking the immediate thought that pops in your head is that you were
just disrespected which isn’t really the case because as I stated in my last paragraph that “people
don’t make it their goal to disrespect you” it’s just your conscience say yes you were just
disrespected.
Some people would argue with this and say “No it was their intention to disrespect me”
or something like that but not really. In reality maybe it was their goal to disrespect you or
maybe they had a bad day or they have something like autism or a syndrome. So maybe that
person that says that they were “disrespected” they should just chill out and accept it because you
can’t really do anything without getting into trouble. But the person that maybe wasn’t looking
or wasn’t watching what they were saying; should really watch they are saying or doing because
you could hurt someone without knowing it. “Disrespect is very dangerous to young men” said a
Criminologist, because I think that’s why there are so many people in prison because they let
their conscience get the better of them.
In conclusion people on both sides whether the person that thinks that they are being
disrespected or the person that might have accidentally disrespected someone they should both
watch what they are saying and doing because you don’t know if you are about to hurt they
feelings.
