Example Of Disrespect Research Paper

Deshawn Perry July 24, 2014 Disrespect Disrespect is something that is not tolerated by anyone, especially by people with authority. Disrespect can be shown in many ways and anyone is capable of showing it. Sometimes being disrespectful was not the person intention and may be using a form of disrespect without even being aware that they are. Unfortunately most of the time this not the case. For an example I will use my own personal experiences. For the past three summers I have visited my aunts and uncle in Maryland. And for the past three summers every time they would be upset with me it was basically for the same reason. That reason being my attitude
and behavior towards my superiors. Now not only do I upset them I usually get some type of punishment in return which I've earned.
Any trouble I got into because of my attitude could have easily been avoided. Sometimes I may not even have an attitude but from my body language it seems like I do. Not only my body language but my facial expressions also. For as long as I can remember the people in my life say I have a bad attitude and I didn't really care. I honestly didn't really think it was a big deal and that they were just trying to irritate me. For example my Uncle Desmond and I had an incident which was very unnecessary on my part. It was so stupid that I only remember little details of what happened. But what I do remember is something that will stick with me for the rest of the summer. I had just left the basketball camp I was attending for the week, and was walking to the car with Uncle Desmond when he told me we were waiting on one of Aunt Rochelle's friends. We were waiting on her to pick up her daughter. Not really paying attention I automatically assumed that I met the girl before , but that doesn't excuse the fact of me not speaking to her. Anyway I spoke to Aunt Rochelle and kept listening to my music. Meanwhile Aunt Rochelle is getting more and more upset with me for ignoring her. Uncle Desmond just
so happen to hear Aunt Rochelle also starts talking to me. I started to not acknowledge them both but that would have been terrible. After taking out my headphones and looking at an upset Aunt Rochelle and an angry Uncle Desmond I could see that in some way I disrespected them both tremendously. As I took out my headphones I heard uncle Desmond say that I was acting totally ungrateful. Hearing that made me feel awful and we say in silence the whole ride home. This was not the first time something like that has happened, it has happened multiple occasions. Each time I disrespected one of them it was like I was disrespecting all of them. Whether or not I meant to do it I still did it, and it makes me feel bad. Unfortunately I have to admit that when I was disrespecting, disobeying, or even ignoring my aunts and uncle I didn't think about what the outcome would be. I know that both my aunts and uncle only want what is best for me and Now that I am able to reflect on my behavior I can say that I was being very disrespectful without even trying to be. Unfortunately no matter what I disrespected some of the most important people in my life, and I can't take that back. All I can do is apologize and to make sure no matter what I never do something like that again. I know saying that I will never do it again means basically nothing because actions speak louder than words. So that is what I must do let my actions speak louder than my words.
