Respect for elders in the society.

 

Respect  simply means showing regards or honour, or courtesy to whosoever that is older than we are or who are in higher positions of constituted authority .

 

Respect is one of the virtues of any good citizen in the society . To whom respect is given , respect is expected back from such person . Respect is reciprocal. 

 

Our elders  are the people that are older than we are . We must respect   . We must also respect people that are in the position of the constituted authority whether we are older than them or not .    We must respect our prefects in our school, our teachers , our principals or Headteachers (Head masters or Headmistress) .

 

We must also respect our siblings and our parents . The bible says that Honour your father and your mother who are your parents and whosoever that is older than you are , so that your days will be long in the land that your Lord, God Almighty has given unto you .

How to show respect for elders:

  1. Greet your parents and elderly ones by prostrating as a boy and kneeling down as a girl. eg  Good morning sir, good afternoon ma, good night ma.
  2. Do not refuse to run an errand for the elders, parents or any one that is older than you are .
  3. Help your elder to carry loads or bags, when you see them coming.
  4. Do not insult or fight an elderly person or anyone that represents officials of constituted authority like your prefect,  Head of Department (HODs) or teachers
  5. Be obedient to the instructions of the elders in your community.
  6. Be obedient and always obey school rules and regulations.
