Respect - Discussion Topics

You're at a school picnic and there is a long line for buying cold drinks. You're really thirsty. You see a friend way ahead of you in line. Should you ask your friend if you can cut in line? How is the idea of respect for others connected to this situation? How do others in line feel when somebody cuts in line?

Imagine that you live near an elderly couple. Two or three of your friends are visiting you and they see the two old people. Your friends start making fun of the elderly people behind their backs. What, if anything, do you say to your friends? What might happen if your neighbors overhear what is going on?

Tell a story about someone you respect.

Our Values

Values reflect a person’s sense of right and wrong or what “ought” to be. “Equal rights for all”, "Excellence", and “People should be treated with respect and dignity” are examples of values. Values tend to influence attitudes and behavior. Cultures have values that are largely shared by their members.Values are related to the norms of a culture, but they are more global and abstract than norms. Norms are rules for behavior in specific situations, while values identify what should be judged as good or evil. Flying the national flag on a holiday is a norm, but it reflects the value of patriotism. Personal values provide an internal reference for what is good, beneficial, important, useful, beautiful, desirable, constructive, etc. Over time the public expressions of personal values, that groups of people find important in their day-to-day lives, lay the foundations of law, custom and tradition.
