true, but do you really want to leave the deciding of who needs a slap to the teacher?

figuratively, and literally

it shouldnt be teachers job to dop punishments

should be parents

fix homes first :DDD

I'd have been beaten multiple times in school just because I don't buy into bullshit someone is feeding me with a hardon for their arbitrary authority the think they are entitled to as a teacher

well, it was a common thing back in the days, and when I see the generation of my parent, at least they have respect

newer generations are really far from the generation of our parents, or at least mines

respect should be socialized by good prior generation

this generation had bad parents

well, I mean, people in their 60s now are much more respectful than any 15-20s will probably ever be ^^"

and corporal punishement was a thing in their days

The concept of respect being a societal entitlement is stupid, especially the way it was ingrained into some of the older generations. People are not entitled to my respect, you earn my respect. Respect should not be given to everyone, and should especially not be expected from people just because you hold some arbitrary seniority over them.

they respected authority and when they defied it, they were punished, they knew that before hand, nowadays, kids do whatever they want and do not fear any form of authority

I think respect is necessity for stable society

Thats just bullshit

every generation has differences, but every single generation that has ever existed has complained about the changes brought by the younger

this is not some new thing, complaining about young people

That's absolutely true

I think you have it backward chaos... respect should be a given to anybody, but if somebody do something to make you lose your respect in them, that's another story

See that depends on the type of respect you are asking for

I think the word is used wrongly in many contexts

like, normal, proper respect, common courtesy

things that the younger generation lack the most

and the type of respect that old conservative generations are asking for is an admiration of their seniority and an higher evaluation of their decisions based simply on that fact

not that of common courtesy

a better word for what you are talking about is simply "consideration for others" or "empathy"

not respect

well, for the most part, they worked their ass off all their life to raise their children, contributed to society like you are nothing close yet, senior deserve respect

no they don't

that's bullshit

now as for their decision, that's another story

people do not deserve respect just because they lived their life

for purpose of stable productive society which preserves institutions, respect for older generations is necessary

imo it dont matter if deserved or not, just necessity for functioning goodness

being considerate of other people is a form of respect, empathy, that's something different

respect isn't limited to good consideration you have of other people, but it's still a good begining

yup

Also I think you are full of shit for thinking that the current younger generation has less consideration for others than any of the previous generations, what a load of shit. Where did you come up with that idea? At maximum it is possible for you to know and assess innacuratedly the personality and traits of about 200 people that you directly come in contact with. And you think you can make accurate statements about the temperament of an entire generation of people?

What a load of crap

I have 3500 students, where you 200 comes from ?
