Disrespect. It must be taught in school nowadays! Actually, it's taught at home long before the kids get together and discover "the art of manipulation" and lying, etc., which only adds to the present day disasters we see coming toward us now. But, it's the DISRESPECT that is a core value, apparently, at the heart of most inappropriate transactions we see in our society today. We say, "It's all about YOU, isn't it..." and the problem is so many really do feel this is true!
Here's a simple test. Just give someone you first meet, anywhere basically, "some form of the word 'no'." That's it. Just give them NOT what they want, which is most often a "yes" to something you're asked to do, or participate in. Then you'll see how respectful that person is - to you. (If you always give others a "yes," then hey, you're just a "great person" aren't you.)
We see the DISRESPECT rising over the past decade in a high percentage of "off the street" as they enter our facility - where what they receive is not always a "yes". Therefore, they get "some form of the word 'no'," and off to the races we all go! Truly, this issue is comcommitant with this society's decline of civility and aggressive interactions seen all over (at least) America today. It would greatly help us all, too, if we studied "behaviors" like this appropriately, and learned the reasons why we as a society now let this type of behavioral issue basically ruin our lives, so often...and so aggressively. There is an answer to this issue and so many more - behavioral problems - if we as a country were ever to become healthy enough to be interested in this. Why would we want to do this? Because things like the following would basically be halted in their tracks, if we did: Most Criminal Activity (all types), Lying, Divorce, Drug Abuse, Addictions, Harassment, Murder, Theft, Child Abuse, Hatred, Violence, Ignorance, Stupidity, Family Disintegrations, Animal Abuses, Positional Abuse, Government Abuse, Arrogance, etc. Imagine it another way where all people tried to respect each other (not allow others to do anything they wanted, that's not it), and understand each other's issues...and help each other out. Today, it's about so many "expecting" the others they meet to "give them anything they demand, and expect, without hesitation" ... which is far different, obviously.
