Why Respect Is Important(為何尊重很重要)
Why Respect Is Important
Going back in time, respect played an important role in survival. If we think of a small tribe wandering in the desert,we can imagine that a person not respected by anyone could be left behind and die. Such a person was considered to have no worth, no importance, no value to the group.
This, I believe is the foundation of our psychological need to feel respected.
Nowadays it seems much more possible to survive without being respected. Someone could, for example, inherit a large sum of money, have many servants and employees and have salesmen constantly calling on him and catering to him,yet not be respected in the least. Someone could also make a lot of money through having a particular talent which is valued, such as being able to dunk a basketball yet not really be respected, perhaps because of the way he treats others.
Still, there is a value to respect which money can't buy.Though someone's life might not depend on it, there are times, many times in fact, when another person has the chance to make a personal decision--a judgment call. When that person feels sincere respect for someone else, they will make a different decision than if they feel no respect, even if they have customarily shown a false, pseudo-respect to the person.
In summary, it is for both evolutionary and practical reasons that respect is important, and also why we simply feel better when we are respected.
為何尊重很重要
回顧歷史，尊重在人類(lèi)生存史上起了舉足輕重的作用。想象一下，一個(gè)小部落在沙漠里徘徊，一個(gè)不被別人尊重的人肯定是要被遺棄，獨(dú)自死去的。這樣的人是被認(rèn)為沒(méi)有用的，無(wú)足輕重，對(duì)整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)也沒(méi)有價(jià)值。
我相信，這就是我們?cè)谛睦砩闲枰鹬氐母驹颉?/p>
現(xiàn)在，不被尊重而能生存下去的幾率似乎大大提高了。比如說(shuō)，有人繼承了一大筆錢(qián)，擁有大群仆人和雇工，還有商販時(shí)不時(shí)來(lái)為他提供一切所需，然而他卻不被人尊重。有些人還可以通過(guò)一些寶貴的才能賺很多錢(qián)，例如擁有灌籃的才能，然而或許是由于他對(duì)別人的方式，他也得不到別人的尊重。
然而，尊重包含著有錢(qián)買(mǎi)不到的價(jià)值。盡管有些人的生活并不依賴(lài)于此，但有時(shí)，甚至是很多時(shí)候，當(dāng)別人有機(jī)
