The most important trait between courage, respect, and trust is courage. Without courage, perhaps we would all still be living in Europe, as no one would have the courage to cross an ocean looking for land. Without courage, no one would have been to moon or anywhere outside of our atmosphere because they would be too afraid. Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability and willingness to overcome that fear. If I had to live without one of these traits it would be trust. Trust is possibly neccessary to get work done. You do not have to trust anyone but you can still get things done. they have the saying, "If you want anything done right you have to do it yourself." for a reason. The boss person in this situation does not trust someone else to do some work but it still gets done. I am not saying trust is bad, actually trust is great. It is just not neccessary.

I definitely agree with Kyle about living without trust. It would not be pleasant but things could still get done. But I think respect is more important, because without respect there is a possibility that we all might go crazy. Respect is a basic moral value that helps us to make relationships with others. Having a relationship with anther person who also respects you, boosts confidence. If you do not respect a person's values and/or boundaries they are not likely to want to be around you, and having someone to share good times and bad with gives a person a sense of security. In general having someone other than ourselves to talk to keeps us from going insane.

I agree with Kyle and Tara, I think that all three of these things are important in life. However, you can still respect someone and not trust them. Respect is important to get things done in your daily life. If no one respected their teachers or their boss than then no one would ever work or learn anything and it would create chaos. Courage is also important because without courage no one would ever take chances and ,in society, we would not have the things we have today.

I agree with Tara. Courage is a desirable trait, as well as trust. However, I wonder if courage would be necessary if there was respect? What exactly would people need to stand up for if everyone treated each other with respect? You can't have courage if there are no adversities for it to face.
I think that Kyle is pretty spot on. While respect and trust are nice things to earn from people, they are not necessary to maintain the survival of our species as courage is. Many of the great people in out history have changed the course of humanity for the better because they had courage.

A life without trust would be horrible, I believe. I could never be around anyone who I felt was being dishonest to me, and all the courage in the world couldn't make me feel less lonely. A life is not worth living if you have to do it alone.

Definitely agree with Kyle on this one. He made the strongest argument and honestly courage is a trait that without you cannot do anything. Although, yes the others are important traits to possess as a person.Think without courage you couldn't even meet people to trust or gain respect from, or to voice your opinions to. So in my opinion courage is definitely the best trait to have in a person. Also without trust you may not believe everything the person has to say, but even if you trust someone you shouldn't just take their word at face value, you have to think for yourself and come up with your own conclusions so without trust it would just be a more arduous task to make a decision. Then without respect you don't necessarily have to respect someone to know that what they are doing is correct. Without respect it may be more difficult to get things done, but again without courage you wouldn't necessarily be getting anything done in the first place. Good choice on this one Kyle.

I believe neither is more important than the other. All three can't exist without the others. It is difficult to respect someone you don't trust, yet you must respect someone to be able to trust them. Neither trust or respect can exist without the presence of courage. It takes courage to be able to be outgoing enough to respect or trust. But in the same moment you have to have some amount of trust to have the needed courage. Courage, respect, and trust are kind of a base for one another.

I agree with Jenna that trust is the most important character trait. From personal experiences i have learned that without trust relationships to not grow. Not trusting someone leads to secrets and lies, both are not healthy for you or for the other person involved. You have to learn to trust people to live happily and to enjoy the life you have. I think you need to have all of those traits. They are all different and make you a better person. I wouldn't be able to choose which one to not have. I would hope to always have a balance of all three.

I think that all three character traits are very important in our society. We need courage to get things done and make advances in our society. If the people of America never took chances we would not have the United States of America. If people never took chances we would not have the things we have today. Because people took chances we have technology, that continues to grow, freedom, homes, and many other things that we would never have if people didnt have courage. You need trust and respect to have a good relationship with someone. Trust builds on respect, therefore you have to have respect for someone before you can trust them. Because of this, I think that all three character traits are equally important.

I think that respect is the most important. They are all important and you cant live without any of them. But you need to show respect and get respect from people. If you dont get respect from people then you wont really trust them. Though also I dont think anyone would be able to live peacefully in this world without respect. If no one respected anyone then there would be people running around hurting people just because there is no respect. I personally hate it when someone is disrespectful to someone and if they take that too far someone might want to say how rude and disrespectful they are then all that will do is cause fights. You need respect to get along with people. You need respect to trust people so you know whos your friends and whos not. You also need respect for courage. If someone doesnt respect you will you want to do something that scares you in front of them? If I had to live without one I would choose courage. That way I can somehow get courage myself or something.

Out of courage, respect and trust I think that respect is the most important. Respect is something that you need to give in order to get and without having respect from others, you won’t be given as many opportunities. For example, if you don’t respect someone who is interviewing you for a job by using vulgar language then you certainly won’t get that job. Respect is also what keeps people from lashing out when someone has a different opinion than they do sort of like the way a lot of people in Maycomb do to Jem and Scout. In the world we live in, everyone has different opinions and no two people feel the same way about everything. If no one had respect for anyone than everyone would be pinned against everyone and the world would erupt in violence. If I had to live without one trait, it would be trust. While respecting someone won’t cause and damage, trusting them will a lot of times. Most people are self centered and only care about getting on top. If you trust people like this, they’ll end up hurting you to push themselves ahead.

Out of the three traits given, I think respect is the most important. Trust is rare to find and so is courage but without respect the world would be a horrible place, people would not treat people with respect and would probably walk all over them. Life with respect benefits both you and those around you. If I had to go without one of these traits, it would be courage, courage is important but trust is something you need to have for you and those you trust and respect is needed to have a good life, I'm not saying courage isn't important to have, because it is but it is the least priority for me on the list of traits.

Out of the three traits I think that respect is the most important trait. This is because with out respect everyone would be treating eachother very badly because they would not respect where they came from or who they were. Also wihtout it wars would arise and other negative problems because people would just hate eachother. Respect is also important becaue it shows in a way that you trus the person because you would not trust a person you didn't respect. Also respect shows that you are willing to help other people out because if you respect someone you are most likely to help them out in a time of need. Also with respect it shows that you see people as equals and when that happens there are then less arguments happening. I think the least important trait is courage because with respect and trust you can really over come many problems. I also see courage as wasteful is because courage is sometimes done out of stupidity because the person does not know what they are getting themselves into.

Courage is the most important out of trust, respect, and courage. Without courage you wouldnt be able to fight to accomplish goals and dreams. You wouldnt be able to stand up for what you believe in. You wouldnt be able to protect yourself. You would be able to live without fear of something is always going to go wrong. To have courage can make you indepentent and will get you farther in where you need to go. If you cant trust anyone or respect anyone or arn't receiving respect you can take courage and push through all that and be brave enough to do things by yourself. If i had to choose to live with out one of these traits it would be trust. A life without trust is definitely not easy but if no one else is there for you, you are there for yourself.

Trust, courage, and respect are characteristics found in every person. The way each person earns and receives this from a person varies. I personally believe courage is the best trait for a person to have without courage you wouldn't be able to gain trust nor trust from someone, If takes courage to talk,lie,argue or tell someone simply how you feel. If you do not step up and do one of these things no one would be able to figure out if they trust or respect you. It takes a brave soul to interact with other people. With those interactions trust and respect is made. You cant trust or respect someone you do not know anything about. It takes courage to get to know and risk getting to know someone or be willing to let someone get to know you. So to me with courage and trust and respect is then made.
If i had to choose one of the 3 to live without it would be respect. no one has to respect me if i have the courage to stand up for what i believe in and stick to my own word. Respect is earned and is strictly based from opinion. Just because one person decides not to respect you doesn't mean everyone will feel the same. Not everyone Respected how Martin Luther King stood up and went against the status quo. Some people respected him more because his decision or standing up for what he believes in. That took a lot of courage. His courage changed what the world is the day and he is a very respected person in my opinion and may others. Although, at the time people hated him and didn't respect him. This shows respected isn't needed to be successful as long as your have courage .

I believe that out of trust, respect, and courage that not one is more important than the other. You can have one or the other or two and not the other but to really be a well-rounded and well-formed respectable person, you need all three of these. The world didn't change because there was more courage than there was trust and respect. The world changed it's views, on racial discrimination for instance, because there was a mixture of trust in the people who were going to change it, respect for the ideas of the people, and courage from the people strong enough to be the impetus to start a movement. Without all three of these characteristics working in some sort of union, not much would get done by itself. Yes, you can have yourself to rely on and you don't need respect or courage or trust but at the end of the day, to know that you've really been successful, you need a little bit of all three of those. Well, that's what I believe, at least.

If you want a job you will meed to be respectful to your employer or you won't have a job for too awfully long.

It definitely will help you get further than other people in life because if you don't respect people, than you probably aren't a very good person to be around.

I believe they're all equally important, but if I were to choose one, it would be trust. I believe trust is a great trait in somebody. Mostly because it's rarely found in people today. Many people have courage, and most people have respect, but there are those types of people who will stab you in the back. And sometimes, it's the ones you least expect it from. Trust is something nobody messes with. Trust is a bond between two people. Without trust, it can completely damage an entire relationship, or friendship, and never make it the same again. It's indeed very hard to find somebody that you trust, but when you do, hold onto that person because, likely, you won't find another one like them.

Out of respect, trust, and courage I believe that courage is the most important. Where would we be today without courage? What if the colonists never had the courage to stand up to the British government? There would be no United States of America. What if Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton never had the courage to fight for women's rights? We would still be living in a world of male dominance and unequal opportunity. Without courage we would be slaves in a poverty stricken world governed by a few greedy rulers. If you have enough courage to stand up for what you believe in you can make the world a better place. Without our forefathers having courage who knows where we would have ended up. Courage even has enough power to save a life. Having enough courage to stand up for someone who is getting bullied could save that person. Without courage no one would be able accomplish anything. Courage is how things get changed and how the world becomes a better place, and that is why it is the most important.
If I had to choose one to live without I would choose respect. Without trust you wouldn't be able to get anything done, but you can trust someone and not respect them. For example, if a doctor is a terrible person and is rude to everyone I will trust them to fix my aliment but I will not respect them. If I have the courage to stand up for something I believe strongly in I need people to trust me to help me change it.

Courage is the idea of putting yourself in the spotlight and trying new things. Respect is a trait that you show in order to get it. Treating others in a mannerly way and being positive towards them shows respect. Trust is a strong trait that is hard to get out of many individuals in our day of time. Me personally, I use all three of of these traits daily. I show respect to get it because I would want others to treat me in a positive way that I would treat them. I use courage to try new things and experience. i treat everyone in the way that treat me, so my trust is given to those who are trusted by me. If I had live without one of these traits, it would be courage. I would do my daily routine.

Someone has to trust you in order to do a job. If no one trusted you, you would not have a job friends or mostly a life. Trust is very important because when someone trusts me I feel a sense of accomplishment also I feel that I could trust that person with everything I have.

I honestly think courage is the most important trait a person can have because courage is what makes you stand up and do things for yourself. Courage gives you the chance to be your own person and live how you want to. But if I had to live without one of them it really is impossible. These traits all go together. If you have one you have all of them most likely. Respect for a person takes courage and trust takes respect. These traits go hand in hand and there is no way that you can just have one. You either have all or none, so you will never be able tp choose between one or another. They are all equally important and nothing can change that.

I think all 3 of these traits are important and should be showed everyday. Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. Lastly trust is firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. If none of these traits were used on a daily bases , then we would have a worse society then we do today. You need respect to live your daily life. In school , treat others the way you would want to be treated , is a daily quote you would hear . That's respect . Im not saying you have to trust everyone but it's okay to have trust in parents or maybe some friends . Trust is a tricky subject that you'll learn on your own. Who's trustworthy and who's not . Courage , if you ever plan on doing anything in life , you need courage.

I think respect, trust, and courage is all the same because you need all of them. I wouldn't trust anyone if i didn't they did not respect me or i would not have trust for someone if they didn't have courage because you need to step up to people and voice your opinion. If you don't have courage your just letting people walk all over you so why not have courage so you can have a choice to speak your mind. Everyone needs to respect each other even if you do not agree with them because you can learn different view points of the same topic.

Without courage poeple probably would not do most of the things they do. Courage is what makes people do stuff they would normally would not do, or they are scared to do. Without respect the world would not be a good place because no one would be nice to each other. People need to respect each other in order to nice to them or to look up to them. Respect could also come from courage. With out trust people would not have friends because they would not trust anyone to have friends. No one would be able to tell anyone anything. Trust could also come from respect. If people respect eachother they will most likey trust them. Courage, trust, and respect are all related to eachother and everyone needs all three of them.

Courage, respect, and trust are three very important characteristics that every person should demonstrate. The three are all linked in some way. In my opinion, in order to be a well rounded person, you need all three characteristics. Without courage, you would not be able to overcome your fears. Without respect, you would not get along with as many people. It is important to respect others but also make the right decisions so that you are respected. And I believe trust is linked to respect. If you cannot be trusted, you cannot be as respected.

I believe that trust is the most important, because without trust, you cannot love. And I do not confine love to romantic love, but refer to it as a sort of universal, love your neighbor, kind of love. I think that respect is important, but people can do without it. People crave it, but can survive without it. Love, however, is something people die (inside) without.

I believe trust is the most important trait out of those options. Without trust I believe you can not respect others because you would never know whether or not to believe what they are saying. Without trust I do not believe you could have the courage to live your life. I have always relied on the trust in my family and friends and that is when I feel safe enough to put forward my courage. I then believe courage is the trait I could live without. I think many people do not have courage and even though they may not be as successful as they may wish to be, they can still succeed. Some people enjoy staying in their comfort zone but without trust or respect I don't even believe you can have a comfort zone. The people I trust give me support and a push to have courage so that is something you can build. But trust and respect is much more difficult to achieve.

Out of all three i think that courage is the most important. if people did have courage they would always be to scared to try new things. i dont think they would be able to express their selves as much because they would be scared of what people would thnk of them.

If i had to pick between courage, respect and trust i think it would have to be trust. if i am going to associate myself with you i want to know that i can fully trust you with everything. i think it would be important to have courage and respect too. even though they are not my top choice i feel that everyone should still have these traits as well as trust. I think all three are just as important and it is hard to have to choose just one of them.

I think that respect is the most desirable trait. Courage would help ensure that the right things get done. Trust would also help speed up the process. However, if people acted respectfully there would be no need for courage or trust. Respect, in practice, would include trust. Therefore, trust would be unnecessary. Also, with respect, there would be nothing for courage to face. if everyone treats each other with respect, there would be essentially no negativity and, therefore, no need for people to be courageous.

I agree with this. If you respect someone, youre not going to break their trust.

Courage, respect, or trust? I would have to go with respect because you have to have respect for someone to trust them. You have to have respect for yourself to have courage. I feel as though respect carries you alot farther than all the others. And I know personally I would rather take respect from my friends first then trust and courage.

I agree with this comment because I can see how all three eventually tie together. Although I picked courage because I thought it would help people make a difference, you can't make much of a difference unless others respect and trust you.

If I had to choose which trait was the most important between trust, courage, and respect I would probably pick courage. The reason why I choose courage is that without courage many of the things that have happened in history wouldnt have happened without courage. Without courage Martin Luther King Jr. would have never of stood up for what is right. With out courage many people wouldnt be able to go about there every day lives because of the fear of going outside. If I had to choose one of the three traits to live without it would probably be trust. Without trust life would be miserable because you wouldnt trust anything but I feel like it would be the least severe out of the three. So all in all in my veiw courage is the most important trait and trust is the least imprtant.

I would say that courage is the most important of these three. Having courage enables people to go beyond what they think they're limits are and overcome obstacles in life. Without courageous people in history, we might not be anywhere close to where we are today. For example, if the American colonists didn't have the courage to protest against the British we probably would still be under their rule and wouldn't have the freedoms we posses as American citizens.

You cannot live without respect. Without respect, there would be no society or public figures. Chaos would break out and nobody would talk to anybody else because they would have no respect for them. A president could not be established because nobody would have respect for one person to be chosen for leadership. With respect comes trust because you wouldnt break a respected persons trust. I could live without trust. With respect everyone could look up to eachother which would create trust.

If I had to pick the most important trait out of these it would be courage. Without courage you couldn't have trust or respect, or at least it would be very difficult. You couldn't trust many people if you don't have the courage to let matters out of your own hands. Think about it, have you ever allowed someone to borrow something that you really like? You have to have the courage to trust them. It is the same thing with respect. There are just some people in this world that probably don't deserve respect. However some people in this world find the courage in themselves to push aside their differences and be different from everyone else who have given up on these people.
If I had to live without a trait it would be trust. Although life would be very lonely and dull it would still be liveable
