考研英语作文1800字：为何尊重很重要-Why Respect Is Important
why respect is important
going back in time, respect played an important role in survival. if we think of a small tribe wandering in the desert,we can imagine that a person not respected by anyone could be left behind and die. such a person was considered to have no worth, no importance, no value to the group.
this,i believe is the foundation of our psychological need to feel respected.
nowadays it seems much more possible to survive without being respected. someone could, for eample, inherit a large sum of money, have many servants and employees and have salesmen constantly calling on him and catering to him,yet not be respected in the least. someone could also make a lot of money through having a particular talent which is valued, such as being able to dunk a basketball yet not really be respected, perhaps because of the way he treats others.
still, there is a value to respect which money can＇t buy.though someone＇s life might not depend on it, there are times, many times in fact, when another person has the chance to make a personal decision--a judgment call. when that person feels sincere respect for someone else, they will make a different decision than if they feel no respect, even if they have customarily shown a false, pseudo-respect to the person.
in summary, it is for both evolutionary and practical reasons that respect is important, and also why we simply feel better when we are respected.
为何尊重很重要
回顾历史，尊重在人类生存史上起了举足轻重的作用。想象一下，一个小部落在沙漠里徘徊，一个不被别人尊重的人肯定是要被遗弃，独自死去的。这样的人是被认为没有用的，无足轻重，对整个团队也没有价值。
我相信，这就是我们在心理上需要尊重的根本原因。
现在，不被尊重而能生存下去的几率似乎大大提高了。比如说，有人继承了一大笔钱，拥有大群仆人和雇工，还有商贩时不时来为他提供一切所需，然而他却不被人尊重。有些人还可以通过一些宝贵的才能赚很多钱，例如拥有灌篮的才能，然而或许是由于他对别人的方式，他也得不到别人的尊重。
然而，尊重包含着有钱买不到的价值。尽管有些人的生活并不依赖于此，但有时，甚至是很多时候，当别人有机会自己做决定的时候，此时的判断就源于此了。如果那个人真心地尊重某个人时，他们所做的决定就与其不尊重甚至只是客套地表示虚伪的尊重时所做的决定大相径庭了。
总而言之，无论是从进化还是现实的角度来看，尊重都非常重要，也是为什么我们在被尊重时感觉总是好一点的原因。
