 We are in an era where everything is at the tip of one’s
fingertips. Everything is accessible from the food we eat,
clothes we wear, even on how we pay our bills. Technology
really made life easier. However, as technology advances,
morals and values are being compromised.
Nowadays, it is such a normal scenario to see an older woman standing while a young
person is comfortably sitting. Proper decorum is indeed fading. The lack of decorum
among young people is a manifestation that good manners and right conduct are
slowly deteriorating.
With the passing for revival of Good Manners and Right Conduct, it is a timely
response that once again school as second home of the students has duty to educate
and inculcate values among the youth. Learners must cope and be responsive to the
ever changing demands of learning today by uplifting its values and decorum as well.

What I Need to Know

This module will serve as a competency based learning material which will guide you

• identify respectable behavior on others;

• explain the concept of respect in treating others;

What’s In

Teaching respect in the classroom setting is a teacher’s everyday

task to inculcate values among the students. As part of classroom
guidance, students will be encouraged to learn and apply what
constitutes respect to others, what are the ways they can show
respect, and why is it important to develop a good attitude and
respectable behavior in their interaction with other people.
In the previous lesson, you have learned about respecting individual differences by
demonstrating acceptance of others without discrimination. Now the first activity will
assess your understanding about respect.

Activity 1: Word Hunt

Directions: Look at the list of words below. Identify at least five words that you think
are synonymous with the word respect. Write your answer on your notebook.

politeness fondness appreciation consideration

devotion reverence courtesy disdainful

Guide Questions:
1. What does respect to others mean to you?
2. Do you consider yourself as respectable person? Why or why not? How do you
show respect to others?
3. How do you feel when someone judges you without knowing you or giving you a
chance to prove your words and actions?

Notes to the Teacher

The brief discussion above provided enough
information for the learners to do the activities on the
succeeding pages. Such activities are designed for
individual preparation and lesser teacher intervention.

 What is It

As the saying goes, “You cannot give what you do not have”. It is
indeed right that if you want to know how others treat you, then pay
attention to how you treat others. Respect and self-respect are always
interconnected with each other. According to ELA and Life Skills
Program on Developing Healthy Communication published in 2016,
respect—for oneself and others—is part of the foundation for healthy
behaviors and healthy relationships.

But first, let’s go back by defining what respect is. Respect is due
regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others (Merriam-
Webster Dictionary).
In respecting others, we are promoting love, compassion, and tolerance. But is it
possible to genuinely show respect for someone whom we don’t share the same
opinion? How about the undeserving ones? They said respect is something earned
not easily given. But then again in respecting others we accept that every human is
imperfect. This world is cruel enough, the least we can do is to make this world a little
more humane.
There are a variety of ways on how we can show respect to others. First, through
words and objective views. Humans are born unique. Each of us has innate individual
differences. Our perspectives and opinions are different based on our freedom to think,
evaluate, and analyze things. However, that freedom is not absolute. As what the
famous maxim had said ‘your right ends where the rights of others begin’. It means a
person’s freedom to speak freely must not prohibit another person’s right to express
themselves. In short, there is a responsibility attached to expressing our point of view.
We have to express it without harming other's freedom.
Here are some of the important things to remember about how to respect others:
1. Be open-minded. It is a willingness to accept other’s opinions even to the ones you
don’t agree with. By not changing their opinion, we are seeing a new perspective.
We are learning about them. That action alone will earn us respect for building
connections and respect.
2. Listening attentively. It is focusing closely on what the other person is saying. It is
one of the best ways to show respect. By listening, we allow another person to be
honest with us. With that, we are building trust.
3. Ability to understand. It is supporting them and not being judgmental. Their past
is part of them. Each one of us has inner battles and issues. By listening, we are
trying to understand their side. It is when you accept somebody for who they are,
even when they’re different from you or you don’t agree with them.
4. Treat with kindness. It is the greatest gift we can give to someone. It is the truest
form when we don’t expect something in return.

7
Second, respect in actions. Through our actions, we can show respect by showing
gestures and efforts, following laws, paying tribute to landmarks and temples. We can
choose appropriate clothing and behaviors that respect others' cultures or beliefs. We
can read books to understand their perspectives and experiences. Respect in action
varies in many forms.
All in all, respect is important in building relationships. It embodies feelings of trust,
safety, and wellbeing. It is not something that comes naturally rather it is something
we learn.

 What’s More

Activity 3: Scenario
Directions: Read each scenario below. Then write down how
you would respond to the scenario demonstrating the words and
actions of respect.

1. You are attending a youth seminar about environmental protection. It starts at

exactly 8 am. Unfortunately, you woke up late so you arrived 20 minutes late at the
venue. Upon arrival in the conference room, you see that all seats are occupied and
the only remaining vacant seat is on the left side of the speaker. The speaker is
thoroughly discussing the topic at the moment.

What are you going to do not to disturb the speaker while he’s discussing to occupy
the vacant seat?

2. Amie is one of your classmates. She’s one of the timid and shy students in your
class. While browsing the internet you see her new post regarding her new profile
picture and it becomes a subject to online bullying. You have seen comments such
as she’s ugly and better to take it down.

As her classmate, what are you going to say?

3. Your brother and younger sister are having an argument. Both of them are hostile
and shouting already. You know that being aggressive isn’t going to force each one
of them to stop, it’s just going to escalate the situation.

As an older sister, what are you going to do to lessen the tension and cool down
their argument?
