為何尊重很重要-Why Respect Is Important

Why Respect Is ImportantGoing 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)為沒有用的，無足輕重，對整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)也沒有價(jià)值。    我相信，這就是我們在心理上需要尊重的根本原因。    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，有人繼承了一大筆錢，擁有大群仆人和雇工，還有商販時(shí)不時(shí)來為他提供一切所需，然而他卻不被人尊重。有些人還可以通過一些寶貴的才能賺很多錢，例如擁有灌籃的才能，然而或許是由于他對別人的方式，他也得不到別人的尊重。    然而，尊重包含著有錢買不到的價(jià)值。盡管有些人的生活并不依賴于此，但有時(shí)，甚至是很多時(shí)候，當(dāng)別人有機(jī)會(huì)自己做決定的時(shí)候，此時(shí)的判斷就源于此了。如果那個(gè)人真心地尊重某個(gè)人時(shí)，他們所做的決定就與其不尊重甚至只是客套地表示虛偽的尊重時(shí)所做的決定大相徑庭了。    總而言之，無論是從進(jìn)化還是現(xiàn)實(shí)的角度來看，尊重都非常重要，也是為什么我們在被尊重時(shí)感覺總是好一點(diǎn)的原因。
