Respect, Manners, & Etiquette
Release Date: November 11, 2022
We are taught to be “respectful?” But what does this mean exactly? Are adults the best example of being “respectful?” Something may be respectful to some, but no to others. Sometimes it seems to be a one-way street. And does etiquette serve any purpose in the modern world?
DISCLAIMER: Some hard and difficult topics. If you are easily offended, this may not be for you. There are sometimes some hard topics and hard truths, and if you are not ready for it, i suggest maybe to revisit at a later time when you do feel more prepared.
