Kennedy Memorial High School on a daily basis. Students and faculty are all respectful of one another and their respective belongings. For this reason, the motto “Respect is the key to success” holds much truth at JFK. If one is respectful, people like you and you are able to learn much more efficiently, because there is an environment that is much better suited for learning.
The past motto of JFK holds much truth and I strongly agree with it. Many people appreciate those who show respect towards them and consequently tend to gravitate towards them more often than not.

    There he stands atop the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial, in the nations’ capital, at a podium, speaking to the world. The crowds faces full of hope. Ears opened wide and clear, for the Dr. is speaking today. He is speaking from the heart and telling the nation that he has a “DREAM.” Dr. King had a dream and as most people think that it is geared towards blacks and whites, it’s not. Dr. King wanted equality between everybody. He wanted freedom from racism and prejudice throughout the nation. He was very good in getting the emotional perspective of persuasion across to his audience. King was a very inspirational man; his words were so true and full of meaning. He spoke to everyone and got everybody involved. This is why people followed him and why I think this is the most persuasive piece we have read. He not only implies his wants but he carries along with him the wants and needs of every man or woman ever treated poorly because of the color of their skin or their beliefs. There is a certain unexplainable meaning and feeling when a man like King steps up in front of the world and says, “I have a Dream.”

    It is something everyone wants, not many have, and few want to give. Most people would appreciate "just a little bit," and most should give just that. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, this does not happen. Perhaps this is because the concept of respect is not understood. What exactly is respect? The dictionary defines it as an act of giving particular attention or high or special regard. This does not explain what it is; it only outlines what it may be. In general, though, respect can be broken down into three main forms.

For the privileged, most do not realize that they have advantages over other people in the world. They do not realize that they take for granted the things in their life that would be different if they did not have it. This is the situation for most of the privileged population.

    “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man… It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest.” (C.S. Lewis). You could say this quote is profusely precise because while it may be true that pride gives an encouraging feeling of confidence, this self-assurance is generated by your impression of superiority. When this feeling is exaggerated, it leads to arrogance and excessive pomposity, which can cause an individual to experience humility once they recognize they are not as superior as they imagined.
