Please, thank you, you're welcome.  These are phrases we are taught to use when we're kids to show respect to who we're talking to.  I found a lot of different opinions on why we show respect.  Treating people with kindness regardless of who they are and because it's the civilized thing to do are a couple.  However, I found one opinion that I loved most!

Find out what that was and why practicing self-respect will boost your ability to respect others.
