Introduction

We always
hear the statement “Respect is
not given, but earned”. This
module is designed to help you
establish meaningful social
connections by respecting the
differences and similarities of the
people in the society. Recognizing
the unique beliefs, cultures, and values of different individuals, groups, and
communities is an effective way to deal with the diversity of people. Respect means

honoring a person’s existence, and accepting his/her characteristics without any
judgment regardless if they are similar or different from us.
The lessons in this module will help you recognize the different ways and
situations on how to show respect to other people. Aptly, this module will let you value
the impact of respect, especially in maintaining good relationship and connection with
the people around you.

When you are able to show respect on the diversities and rights of the people
around you, you will then have a harmonious relationship with them. Doing things that
promote respect will have a significant effect on your personality and personal growth.

Keep in Mind

Suggested Time Allotment: 15 minutes

You discover new things

about yourself every day. As you
become aware of the similarities
and differences you have with other
people, you might ask many why’s,
such as why you are different and
you are similar from others.
This is understandable
because you and other people come from various places, have different family
backgrounds, family histories and orientation. You might have countless, different
experiences from others. Add the fact that there are factors that might affect the way
you relate yourself to other people. Take note though that you can always improve the
way you relate to other people, through effective communication and by genuinely
respecting their beliefs, cultures, and values. There are numerous ways to respect
others effectively. It is a social skill that we must enhance at all times.

Being a Grade 9 learner, it is normal to be conscious about expressing yourself

without disrespecting others. You must be mindful on how you treat other people as
they might misinterpret your actions or words. As you go along with the journey of life,
you must also have a wider respect and acceptance for others. Respect and
acceptance are lifelong processes that you must always take on a positive note.

 Respect for others is an essential way to maintain good relationships with the
people around you. It is the foundation of your connection to others, the same way
that other people’s foundation in having an effective connection with you, too.

Now that the entire world is facing a pandemic, respect is even more essential
and powerful. We respect by practicing physical distancing and wearing facemask in
public. We show our respect by being a good citizen and following the prescribed rules
and regulations set by our government to stop the transmission of the virus. We have
learned to respect other people’s personal spaces even more. To add, we show
respect nowadays by not only being considerate to others but by taking care of
ourselves so that in our own way, we become valuable warriors against this virus.

Another form of timely respect that we can manifest now is the non-
discrimination of people who were afflicted by the virus. When we do not stigmatize
the people affected by this virus or their families, we show not only respect but
compassion to others.

With all of these, may we not forget that showing respect means:
R egarding and treating
E verybody with kindness,
S howing good manners and
P oliteness to all,
E xhibiting equal courtesy as well as
C ivility and consideration, and
T hriving with tact and a thoughtful attitude.
