Is ‘Respect’ for Authority, Discipline, Parents, Teacher’s dieing?
Answers:
It's not dying - it's dead and buried, except in isolated pockets of the UK. (can't speak for other countries cos i havent' been there). Where manners, repsect for elders, teachers, police etc is concerned, i bring up my daughter exactly as my parents did me - without the beatings.
1 problem i feel is that people 'in authority' have had their authority stripped, and kids know that nothing can be done to punish them, so they do what they please, with no fear of consequences. They don't need to have manners, repsect etc - they can get more being law breaking scum, adn they'll bring the enxt generation up to be even worse
It isn't dying, it isn't being taught! Respect is not something you're born with you must learn it. Simple.
I would recommend that that you read the King James version of the Bible. It contains the answers to your questions.
God the Father knew you before you we born in eternity past and when you were formed in your mother womb. We are born with a Soul that will live for eternity. We must decide as a free will agent to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior or not.
Our decision determines whether we spend eternity in Heaven or Hell.
I Pray that you make the right decision.
Jesus Christ Loves You.
God Bless you is my prayer.
David
Absolutely it isn't being taught, and because of that it will die - if children aren't taught to respect others right from a very young age then they will never be able to pass that on to their own children. The only thing to be done is to make sure you teach your own children about respect and hope that it catches on around you - and I also think that schools should have a zero tolerance attitude to bad manners and disrespectful behaviour, so if parents aren't doing their job in this, then maybe the children will get the idea at school - let's hope so for society's sake!
kids are not afraid of authority figures anymore. they can do what they want and if a parent, teacher, or any adult thinks about raising a hand they go to jail. any adult would rather sit back and watch a kid go bad than get a criminal record and a reputation as a child beater than help the kid. i'm not saying hitting a kid or anyone for that matter is a good thing but there has to be structure and discipline in order to become a well adjusted adult and the laws have taken that ability away from parents and teachers.
For authority
Respect has to be earned. Maybe the parents and Western culture in general are lacking in discipline and self-esteem. The only way to get that is through a war against France, America, Spain, Italy, or Ireland. That will never happen so you should probably just try physical exercise in order to discipline your mind and body and set an example for the children.
My son does have respect for "authority", he is well mannered (most of the time) and I am confident that when he is in the company of others he is well behaved andrespectful - I know this because I am told as much by his teachers, his childminder, his grandparents, my friends and relatives. He is 6 years old and at times I feel he is in the minority - I'm not saying he's an angel because at the end of the day he is still a young child and is learning new things every day but I know that if I leave him in the care of any other adult I can trust him to behave appropriately. He is like this because we have taught him to behave like this i.e insisted on manners and we don't let him get away with everything - children learn from us so we need to set a good example
i don't think you should unthinkingly 'respect' anybody. respect is there to be earned, not just given. most teachers and parents, and especially authorities don't deserve it in the first place.
It's not dieing it's dead, we have parents who have been brought up without discipline bringing up children without discipline. I'm not saying we should smack kids, but since all the do gooders seem to have taken over we now have more crime, and no respect for authority
I think that teachers should act respectfully to command respect from their class.
These days the teachers are wearing combat trousers, trainers etc, My daughter was telling be all about here teachers love life , which apparently is discussed with the class and they listen to the radio in class!!
I think teachers should be wearing suits and look starchy and authoritive. It would be a good start. I also think kids know that smacking is controversial these days and use that to their full advantage. I would like the oppertunity to disapline my child with a smack if I thought that it was the best punishment at that time.but now kids have the upper hand and it seems THEY can disapline their parents!
I think tv has a lot to do with it.
And society is coming to an end.. I doubt it will ever go back to how it used to be. Its all human rights gone mad
