It seems , some of the the younger generations are becoming incondierate and disrespectful towards older people and senior citizens . I have witnessed few times, kids showing faces to older people with absolute no provocations , playing and damaging items belonging to others .
At the same time , I have witnessed people being disrespectful towards their subordinates, colleagues and making the environment toxic.
In case of younger children, I choose to speak to their parents .This sets up as a warning . In professional life, I show tit for tat and that has worked most times if not all.So , how should we handle disrespectful behaviour in personal and professional lives.

We need to restablish core values that newer generations took for granted or were never tought. I was raised with the f around and find out mindset. If I did something wrong, there was a punishment to follow. We need stronger , stricter guidelines that give teachers and school power in the form of disipline. If we can correct the behavior, then we can prevent problems like this going forward.

So far as children are concerned, some kind of positive and negative reinforcement works. I resort to touch their hearts with stories, analogies, anecdotes, examples, quotes, instances from biographies of great men, videos on morals/ethics/values etc.
With more mature adults, it's been a roller coaster ride. Earlier I used to react. Learning to ignore was gradually developed. It comes with more focus on self-improvement and complete involvement with the task at hand. At one point, when I'd hit the lowest of the low, I surrendered to God.

I totally understand and go with it. It is easier to handle kids under 10 .But for those as you mentioned, it is roller coaster ride. Thanks for sharing!

To a great extent, that is very true. In fact , we need laws to ensure parenting , I feel. Thanks for sharing!
