Respect

[Jupiter Drops]

Who do you respect the most on the poll above and why? Make your own top 5 list on who you respect the most out from the poll list.

Or make your own list on who you respect the most, but don't stray too far from the poll list.

Hmm...

I don't think I can answer, because my respect isn't based on the title they hold, or their chosen job profession.

Take Doctor, for instance. Seems reputable. But it depends. I've been to doctors that were very helpful and open minded, and I've been to doctors that were downright nasty/bullying know-it all's who have tried to push a treatment they already know won't work. Not that I've had lots of medical problems, but I was married, once, and she did.

What about Politicians? Mostly, not much respect - because the very nature of the job (in our current system) means they take an oath to obey a creed but must break it to suit "democracy" - collectivism - or majority rules. Of course, there are exceptions like Ron Paul that really stand out as men of principle, which doesn't redeem the title, but at least let's it be known that a principled person can fit into the title and not totally be corrupted by the system.

Kings/Queens/Royalty - Depends entirely on how they rule - but I generally dislike the idea of men being granted such power. I believe there is a lesson in the Israelite's wanting a King - in wanting one they were rejecting God.

Artists - I'm an artist - but why should I be respected for that? More to the point is what does their art say - what does it communicate and how does it affect people?

Anyway, I think you get my drift.

Respect comes from character, not titles

 

[Elliewaves]

I try to respect everyone unless they give me a reason not to. I could respect people solely for their vocation, but unless they are amazingly talented at what they do- I usually don't give people respect based solely on their vocation. I give people respect on their humanity.

 

[MehGuy]

I generally don't respect sport stars.

Usually I respect creative people.

I don't have much respect for a smart person, who's unable to think outside the box and come up with his/her own ideas. I've met smart people who try to lord it over me, but I can't help noticing how boring and unimaginative many of these people actually are. There are plenty of people who can't join mensa, yet end up creating beautiful works, and actually added things to culture.

Lol artists have got the only vote. I'm an artist..

 

[Maka]

I have respect for others, regardless of position. I agree with Elliewaves, unless someone gives me a reason not too. I can't put the list in order because I feel that everyone who works hard deserves the same respect. Doesn't matter to me if he or she is the teacher or the janitor.

Lol @ Royalty.

I formed a sort of special level of respect for people in medical and other science professions this past year when I started college and realized what their course load is like. And that's just their undergrad work.

1.) Software developers
2.) Software developers
3.) Software developers
4.) Software developers
5.) Software developers

If a sixth entry were to be allowed then it would be Software developers.

 

[LadyOfMystery]

I agree fully with Stravinsk. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I respect individuals, not groups of people.

TIL professional athletes are called sports people, I wanna say I respect them the most because I know the things they have to go through, and the difficulty of being elite in the field they're in, but I respect entrepreneurs more so because of the risk they take.
