I have been told that I need to write a 1000 word essay on disrespecting a Non Commissioned Officer. But it is really hard to write about this because I am having a hard time wondering how I disrespected them. So, where do I start on this and what do I say about it. As far as this essay goes I am just going to write how I feel about respect and how respect works both ways. It is wrong to disrespect a Non Commissioned Officer because they are appointed above me to guide me to the right place and things to do. But it is really hard to respect someone when they do not respect you. Respect works both ways and if that person or leadership does not respect you trying to respect them is difficult. No matter what is said it is disrespect....show more content...
I have seen way worse disrespect then what I have ever done to anyone. In my eyes disrespect is if you just plainly say hell no or fuck off. I have never done that and yet they automatically think that if you are asking them why you are told to do something it is disrespect but in fact is not disrespect it is that the soldier is trying to learn from them. If I remember correctly the Non Commissioned Officer Creed states "Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind–accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I am aware of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my soldiers and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment." But it seems that only a few of the Non Commissioned Officers respect the lower enlisted. Why should soldiers' words get twisted and why is that NCO's are not respecting the soldiers and their needs. We need to be respected that is one of the many needs of the soldiers of today. That is why a lot of soldiers act out against Non Commissioned Officers. Ok so disrespect is all on what that person

In Retrospect About Respect Respect is earned, not given. Some people earn their respect and fully deserve it, like the boss who worked their way up the company ladder, or a brave general who fought to gain their medals of honor, even the hard working, dedicated teacher who works overtime has earned the respect from their students and peers. All of these examples, are of people who have worked long and hard to make it to where they are, whether it's working up the starting at the bottom and working their way to the top or solidifying their reputation as an intelligent, honorable person, they all earned the respect they were given. Although this is not the only way to gain honorable respect it is one of the more common ways and when people gain this type of respect, it is rewarding for them. Fully allowing them to be recognized and appreciated for all their hard work. Good people should be respected and rewarded, especially when they are mutually respectful no matter the circumstances. While some types of respect is given to a deserving person, there are circumstances when people are given respect because of how they enforce the situations they are in. This type of "respect" is more of a power over someone or an abuse of the position they have been put in. A teacher is given the respect of their pupils, but some use that to punish or humiliate students they don't particularly like. Some parents use this type of respect to their advantage: punishing children for things that

Mutual Respect
Traditionally, questions regarding the basis for teaching relationships have been answered in terms of authority. The concept of authority as it applies to the classroom has two faces. One side of this concept is authority; where the teacher has always been the authoritarian, the disciplinarian, and the dispenser of rewards and punishments. The other face of authority concerns the teacher as the authoritative source of knowledge, the information–giver, and the arbiter of right and wrong answers.
When I was a young student in Korea, most of my teachers of were authoritarians. The students showed extreme respect for their teachers. For example, students couldn't talk back when their teachers scolded them. I am sure it...show more content...
Rose says, "through I developed into a good teacher, I performed from moderately well to terribly on other sorts of school literacy tasks (106). Rose says that there were few books in his house. He also says "I wrote very little during my childhood" (106).
He shows the teacher's power that can change a student's life. He doesn't mention how his teacher motivated him to read and write; yet he gives his teacher credit for helping him do so. Support of this teacher became a turning point, which changed the student for better and changed him to a better human being.
When I started studying in America, I found differences in the teaching styles of Korea and America. The students seemed very rude to their teachers. Some students even argued with their teachers. I was shocked and disappointed after I witnessed the situation. I still had a concept of authority. Although I had a question, I hesitated asking because I didn't want bother the teachers. Mr. Pat, my Special Education teacher, noticed my hesitation. Then, he helped me speak out whenever I had a question. I still remembered his statement. He said, "Speak, I need your help NOW! Speak!" Concerned teachers base their teaching on a true relationship, which includes care and compassion for his student and one's well being.

Respect Many people have different ideas about what respect means. I think it means having respect for others, property, and respect for yourself. Most people want respect even if it is just a little. The American Heritage Dictionary states that respect is 1.A feeling of appreciative, often deferential regard, esteem. 2.The state of being regarded with honor or esteem. 3.Willingness to show consideration or appreciation. People demand different amounts of respect, though not everyone is willing to give the amount needed. Maybe this is because not every one knows what respect means. The first rule is respect for others. A few of those "others" are teachers, police, authority figures, and business people. Respect ...show more content...
This respect should be shown on every ones property including friend's, teachers, and even strangers. The last rule is respecting yourself. Respecting yourself can mean holding your head up high and respecting your own ideas. You can share your ideas even if you might not thing they are right. But it can lead to more important things like peer pressure, and not giving into it. It is about not letting it affect you in any way or sort. You can not have respect for others if you can not respect yourself. There are many little things you can do to show respect. For example you can clean your room and set the dishes. You can raise your hand when some one else is talking when you have an opinion. Don't be afraid to share your opinions and ideas. They can be a good example for someone. Be a person that another person would want to look up to. You can not be this person when you have a lack of respect. You may not notice it, but respect plays a role in our daily lives. Respect follows you wherever you go. Whether it is in school, your home, or in a restaurant. You may not notice it that other people give you respect, but you do notice when they don't. Even for the simplest reasons. If you are not respectful than you will not be respected. You can't DEMAND respect, nor make people give respect out of fear. The scare will not work. You have to get respect by earning it. Remaining calm in bad situations and being Get more content
I think disrespect is one of the biggest issues in the united states military. Respect is something everyone wants, not many have, and few want to give. Unfortunately, respect is not something that is given all the time. Maybe this is because respect is not clearly understood. What is respect? The Webster's Dictionary defines it as an act of giving particular attention or high or special regard. Another definition shows respect as a feeling or attitude of admiration and deference toward somebody or something. And disrespect is defined as the lack of respect. This does not explain completely what it is, but at least it gives us an idea about what it may be. As a matter of fact, there are many forms of respect. There is physical respect....show more content...
Civilian jobs are much different than a military career. And before I joined the army two years ago, the civilian world was what I knew best. They way civilians treat or talk to their employers is nothing like the way soldiers talk to their chain of command. By joining the army, I have learned so much about respect and discipline and how important it is within the work place. Not only does it make the work place more professional but also more organized. Sometimes I allow myself to create an environment that forces my NCO to maintain order and discipline for which I should be capable of doing myself. For what I have found out is that a leader is only as great as his/her weakest link. I personally want to be the reason my NCO shines by showing respect and composure and helping other soldiers to do the same, for that is the only way to accomplish the mission. One of the easiest and hardiest honors to receive is the good army conduct medal, which is awarded after three years of good service and no writes ups. That is something I would like to achieve and strive for in the future with better actions on my part. To do so I realize one thing I must always do is respect the rank of my NCO. There are certain rules and regulations that must be followed when recognizing the leaders that are bestowed upon me. One being respect. When you read the soldiers handbook on customs and

Respect for someone is given. My family, school, debate, internet (YouTube), all of them solidified this opinion I have. Treating people equally, regardless of their age, gender, race, profession, and spirituality is what I value the most. Also, If one's respect is not paid back, it is no longer just and respectful anymore. So respect is mutual. I also do not understand people who say "Oh you do not need to look up to him\her that much". Especially when my friends and I are talking to upperclassmen or people around our age. I personally think respect cannot be measured or divided. It takes all your heart and sincerity. It is impossible to maintain genuineness and respectfulness forever. I sometimes show frustrations, and respect people half–heartedly. I like to prioritize my entitlements over the responsibilities and the obligations that I must obey. Therefore, I think utopia is unattainable. However, always trying to lower and limit the amount of insincerity and violence in my heart is my life–long goal.
That was all the opinion I had that relates to the concept of respecting one another. Now, Debate has taught me how to challenge others' opinions properly. It has also taught me how to get my opinions challenged, without taking them personally and draw conclusions out of it. Debate club developed my young, immature thoughts and skills to flourish and bloom. Around last Lunar New Year, I found myself in a judgmental, careless conversation with my friends during a typical
One of the keys to building or tearing down ego is respect. The communication of respect or the failure to communicate respect can greatly affect self esteem. Oftentimes it can take a lifetime of investment to communicate love, respect, and admiration. Self doubt and poor self–esteem can often erode the efforts of a friend or mentor to encourage and support. Oftentimes, though, building and destroying self–esteem can take place in a very short time. The ego buster and the ego booster in my life are one in the same person. Even more, the busting and boosting took place in the same conversation.

I responded, "I like take–home exams." In retrospect, I wish I had given the answer more though. The teacher had just said how valuable my opinion was in front of the entire class, and I could only must this brief phrase. In my defense, he did catch me off guard.
I remember his response equally well. Without a singleword, he said, "Hmpf." It was obvious that my answer had not been neither as insightful not as informative as he had hoped. In that one exhale of air, he expressed his frustration, annoyance, and disappointment with my unreasoned and lack–luster response.
In the space of a few seconds, the ego booster became the ego buster, and I left feeling quite small, regretting my pitiful response.
Since that time, I have thought back on that moment many times. I have wished that I had said something different. I have wished that I'd thought a little bit more about the question. I could have expounded upon the benefits of a take–home exam. I could have explained how take–home exams allow more time for detailed research and thorough response, while in–class exams are often rushed and filled with pressure. I could have argued that in–class exams are less about measuring knowledge and more an exercise in memorization. I have run through the details many times.
Perhaps it says something about me that I could be so greatly
Respecting Others
The many problems we face today as a society seem to become more and more overwhelming. I believe that respect for one other is a big social issue we face today in our generation of tomorrow. We see this problem in teens, in so many places. For example, in school there is a lack of respect for students from other fellow students. At home there is a lack of respect from the children of this generation to their parents. There is also a lack of respect from young adults to most authoritative figures. First, the most apparent sign of lack of respect is in the school with students who do not respect their peers. Most students fail to recognize each other as equals because of differing economic status, race, and...show more content...
This is where the golden rule comes in to play. If the majority of students up held respect for one another by treating others as they would like to be treated, situations like Columbine may could have been avoided. The next, most apparent sign of lack of respect is in the common household from this generation. This is where the whole problem of disrespect begins, learning to disrespect or respect one another. If a juvenile has not been taught to respect his or her parents, why would that person even consider respecting anyone outside a relationship that was supposed to be close knit?
Adolescents must be taught in the home to respect others; realizing that each person has a differing situation and a different outlook on life, but before this can happen they too must be respected and regarded themselves. The best way of teaching is to lead by example. Maybe, if taught young to respect others inside the home, the majority of most young adults could avoid a life misery and trouble. This life is brought before them via their decisions in life. A good illustration of this is when teenagers turn to gangs to feel respect– the wrong kind – from one another as a substitute for what they should receive at home, thus leading to a life of violence and crime. This decision of choosing this parody of life only invites for other problems to begin, in more ways than one. If one person out of the household could sit down and ask Jack and Jill if they know
