☆  respect  敬意

============================

One of the useful phrases this week is, “Respect for each other is so important in the workplace.” This is so true, but as I mentioned yesterday, I think respect needs to be across the board – as in, everywhere. We need to respect each other at the workplace, at home, at school, and online.

I find it really distressing to see people attack each other online, with violent words and hatred. So, I made a rule for myself that I wouldn’t read the comments on any articles, even if it was one that a friend shared or that I was really interested in.

Does this happen in Japan, too? Do people communicate more aggressively and without respect for each other when they are commenting online?

Bye,

Chris
