Respect Among People And Nations Has Diminished At The Same Rate That Individuals, And Groups Of Individuals In Society, Have Lost Respect Of Self Or Their Own Group.
I wonder if one of the reasons there is so much anger among nations in the last 20 years is that there is increased anger among people. Where there is respect of self and of others in societies and in the world, there is kindness, acceptance and a reasonable way of dealing with differences. Showing self respect and respect of others who worship or live or believe or love differently would surely make a difference in how nations do or do not respect other nations.

Yes, I do somewhat agree with this debate.
When individuals lose themselves/self-identity/respect/appreciation of the Self hood, then it is bound to be a fallout onto society and upon others.
If a lot of members of society do this? The whole shebang falls all apart. In my very humble opinion.

As the years keep going by, more and more people are evolving into different lifestyles. For the past 20 years, more and more people are coming out as homosexual, polygamists, marrying out of their race, marrying out of their financial upbringings, et al.

With so many new differences, it is sure to breed a new kind of hate and anger to the conservative folks who think that we should all live like they did in thee 40s and 50s:

--- Grow up, get married, dad works, mom takes care of the 5 kids, family dinners every night, church service 3 times a week, no rated R movies, family secrets, ect---

The world isn't like that anymore... Sometimes people don't' know how to deal with change or are unable to accept change or are simply afraid of change. When they are scared or forced to see something they don't recognize as 'normal', the emotion that is displayed is anger/hate/intolerance.

It's time for everyone in to Open their eyes and see the world is different now- it's time for everyone to Accept that change is occurring and will continue to occur no matter what they want- it's time for everyone to Respect the differences that are around us and live our own lives and let others live theirs.

 church service 3 times a week! that's a lot! I like the idea of family dinner every night, and think we should try to keep this tradition

A large amount of racism now arises from within groups stereotyping themselves. When groups of people belittle the aspects that make them unique, this sends a message to other groups, which in turn breeds hate. The politically-correct revolution has ensured no individual may belittle a member of another group, but individuals within the same groups belittle one another and inadvertently cause racism. Uniqueness and cultural backgrounds should be celebrated, not "dumbed down" into simple stereotypes.
