In A World of Respect, Susanne Slay-Westbrook takes an in-depth look at the issue of respect and the role it plays in today's society, emphasizing the urgent need to recapture the art of respect for one's self and for others.
A World of Respect takes a compelling and thought-provoking look at respect in relation to its meaning and how we experience it personally and in our relationships, families, schools, businesses/workplaces, communities, the media and the world.
Respect is the ?I-Thou? relationship of mutuality and reciprocity. It is love in its highest, purest, most effective form. It is the Golden Rule ? do unto others as you would have done unto you.
Respect is not fear-based, cannot be demanded, but is freely given, based in positive regard.

Reviews for "A World of Respect: A Guide to Making It Happen"
While I think we are actually more respectful of differences today than we were the past, incidents like 9/11 have created, in some of us, fear that makes long-held prejudice and ignorance reappear in our behavior.
I hope your book helps alleviate some of the unnatural fear floating in the air because of misinformation so many are getting. It's hard for me to tell from your short description, but I believe that is your purpose--to dispel this unnatural fear and ignorance about other people and give them the respect they deserve as fellow humans.
