Generation Y has been reported to have their ups and downs in many different aspects but have no respect is a major issue among this generation that needs to be addressed. If one were to look back to older generations one would find more respect toward piers and defiantly more respect toward their elders. I believe this is not the case with Generation Y.
Parents do not discipline their children everything is a compromise or in some cases children run the household not the parents. When older generations were growing up the parents usually said, “This is how it’s going to be.” Now a days the parents are begging their children to behave. Are parents afraid to punish their children? Are they afraid to spank their children because they might think that is abuse? Lets take a step back and see how are grandparents were raised discipline wise. Were they punished and made to work hard? Yes, they were. Do they have respect towards others? Generally for their generation, they do.
There needs to be a change for the generation of the children of generation Y. There needs to be discipline in those lives. Think about the teachers in elementary through high school. There has been a lack of desire to teach these students and one of these reasons is because of a lack of respect the teachers are receiving. The teacher can not be the only discipline a child receives. The change needs to take place in the home, starting with the parents disciplining their children and teaching them to respects others around them.

I really like your topic you chose. I totally agree with you there is not any respect anymore. You could also write about how respect is in your houshould compared to back in your grandparents, and see how it has changed from you parents to you. I think you are on the right track. Respect is a big issue now days and something does need to change.
