Response To Self Respect Article


I agree with what this article is saying. The author has some good ideas and concepts. Like the author, I think that self-respect is an essential thing to have. There are two specific examples of statements that I find very important. First of all, in the article, the author mentions that self-respect has nothing to do with the approval of others. I think this is a good point because self-respect is all about your own confidence in yourself (hence the word ‘self’, meaning you) not getting approval from others, and turning it into confidence in yourself. It is all about you believing in yourself and not caring about what other people say about you. If we were just talking about respect, then it would only matter what other people thought.

The author also mentions that self-respect is a discipline. I also think that this statement is quite true. I strongly believe that self-respect must be developed. In order to do this, you must develop a belief in yourself and your capabilities. To do those things, you must have discipline, much like any type sport or activity. To have self-respect, you have to work at it, develop it, and stick with it. I think that you must have self-respect, so therefore you must stick with it and have discipline in order to gain it.
