Showing respect for others is one of the most important values in the world. It means showing care for another person or thing, like the environment.

Without respect, everything around you would be less peaceful. There would be more wars, more problems and less happiness.

You show respect in many ways everyday that you may not even realize! Respect occurs when you:

Listen to others

Play fair

Use good manners

Wait your turn

Compliment someone

Pick up after yourself

How you treat others

Being respectful is one of the key ingredients to being the best person you can be. To learn more about respect, start by checking out some of the great respect quotations below:
