RESPECT INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES

 Show Respect to Others in Words,
Actions, and Objective View

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 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 (MerriamWebster 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.
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

down.

As her classmate, what are you going to say?
