Yes - Respecting others will lead to less conflicts regardless of age,race or religion. Respect in this case means that one should be open to people's opinions by listening to them first, instead of taking over the conversation.

Respect is also to appreciate what is said or done by others.

Only by respecting people around you will there be harmony

We will gain respect from others only if we respect ourselves first.

One who doesn't have self-respect will give the wrong impression that they do not deserve respect from others. Everyone deserves respect and by respecting one another, can a happier world be created.

Educational

-Schools educate students to work well with group mates by respecting each other.

-Teachers are not allowed to discuss about religious issues in schools so as to prevent social conflict.

Students are taught to respect each other's religions other than their own.

Religious/Race

-In multi-racial countries, it is important that citizens understand the various cultures

so as to prevent hostility among different religions or race.

-Lack of awareness leads to conflicts as religion or race issue can be rather sensitive.

-Some people make use of mass media to stir up issues regarding religion or race by posting negative remarks.

This can cause fatality which is unwanted and can be avoided if people practice respect.

-A good example is free thinkers who do not believe in any religion but do respect each and every of them.

Moral

-Parents play an important role in correcting the child's wrong actions or words so that they will learn to respect people, best still, become a child's habit.

An impolite child will give a bad impression to others and grows up to be one that cannot communicate well with others.

-good moral values passed down by parents will create a safer world because people can communicate well with one another.
