Treating people with respect makes your world a nicer place to
live in, whether it's at home, at school, or out in your community. And it's easy - all you have to do is treat people the way you like to have them treat you. Here are a few ideas.
.
• Don't insult people or make fun
of them.
• Listen to others when they
speak.
• Value other people's opinions.
• Be considerate of people's likes
and dislikes.
• Don't mock or tease people.
• Don't talk about people behind
their backs.
• Be sensitive to other people's
feelings.
• Don't pressure someone to do something he or she doesn't
want to do. We live in a diverse nation made up of many different cultures,
languages, races, and backgrounds. That kind of variety can make all our lives a lot more fun and interesting, but only if we get along with each other. And to do that we have to respect each other. In addition to the list
above, here are some ways we can respect people who are different from us.
• Try to learn something from the
other person.
• Never stereotype people.
• Show interest and appreciation
for other people's cultures and
backgrounds.
• Don't go along with prejudices
and racist attitudes.
