Respect without ethics is destructive.
The Mafia had great respect inside its ranks, but it lacked ethical
bearings for the greater community, Gangsta's demand respect from
everyone yet they do not give respect back to the community. Some
communities will not talk to the police because there is a code of silence they
respect. The code of silence protects the guilty and lacks ethical concerns for
the rest of the community. Respect with out ETHICS is deadly.
A student can respect other people. students, staff, visitors.
When one steals from the shop, respect thief and do not tell on
them. Respect without ethics is destructive to the community, the program
and to all related people.
A student can respect tools. If you need them, take them home, care for
them and use them appropriately. It is theft but it is also respect. Respect
without ethics is Loss
I propose that focus on Ethical treatment of people, community, property,
and so on; is important to changing the environment of RESPECT for bad behavior.
The Dalai Lama puts the idea of ethics in
a broader message.

It is in everybody's interest to seek those [actions] that lead to
happiness and avoid those which lead to suffering. And because our
interests are inextricably linked, we are compelled to accept
ethics as the indispensable interface
between my desire to be happy and
yours. | |
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Respect without a focus on Ethics, is just
dust in the wind.
