If you are going to give a grade on your practices of respect, what would it
be? What about to your family members at home? Why?

Family Members Grade on practices of respect

1 2 3 4 5
Me
Mother
Father
Brother

Processing Questions:

1. Why did you give those grades?

I give these grades because respect is a really big thing on our family. When me and my
brother fight, we are always reminded that we should have nothing but respect and love
towards each other as long as we’re under my parent’s roof.

2. What do those grades mean to you? to your family?

To me, the grade shows the results of growing up with respectful parents, so obviously,
they want me to be respectful toward others as well. Me and my brother’s score isn’t
perfect because it shows that we are yet to mature and become the best we can be in
terms of respecting other people. To my family, it shows that we have good relationship
and connection with each other. Our respect further strengthens our love.

Let’s Explore This

Recommend ways on how to show respect in the given situations:

1. No matter how you try to be nice with your older cousin Alleck, he
always tries to pick on you. He humiliates you publicly by making you a
laughing stock on almost about everything.

My mom has advised me to ignore or don’t give any reaction to these kinds of actions
because it will only got worse and what bullies really want are attention which I would
have given them if I respond in any type of way. If it got out of hand, to the point that it is
considered as bullying or is affecting my daily life, health, or sanity, I would talk to Alleck
in private and tell him that his actions are quite bothering to me, I would respectfully ask
him to stop and respectfully tell him to try and move on with his life without causing
issues like this again.
 2. You visited a relative named Agay who belongs to an indigenous group.
He happily prepared an exotic food for lunch. However, you are not
comfortable eating such food and it is your first time to be in their
house.
It would be embarrassing and disrespectful to Agay and his family if I just watch them
eat the food. First, I would immediately tell Agay that I have not eaten such food yet and
is uncomfortable to eat it. However, as sign of respect to their culture and to the effort
and time they put in to make the dish, I would get a small portion that I am sure I can
finish and eat it. For me, refusing to eat other people’s food that they put effort in
making is very disrespectful, except if you actually have a reason to deny.

3. Your friend’s mother Chia who happened to be your neighbor creates

gossip about your family. One morning, you overheard her talking about
you with your other neighbors in front of your house.

To not embarrass my neighbor, I would talk to them in private and ask them why are
they saying such gossips even though they are supposed to be “friends” with my
mother. I would try to be as respectful as I can be towards asking her to stop getting
involve with our family. I would also tell my mother because I respect her the most and I
want to let her know which are her true friends.

Processing Questions:
1. What have you observed with your answers?

I used the word ‘respectfully’ a lot. My actions are also heavily impacted on what I believe is
respectful or not. I also seem to think about how others might feel or what are their own situation
before I tackle my own or do actions that are just good for myself.

2. Was it easy or hard to apply your recommended ways? Why?

If it would happen to me in real life, I would have a hard time. I have always been the kid that
gets picked on or minorly bullied, so I hate to go through that again and I would probably woud
not act calmly. That is also same if my friends or family are in that situation. The second one
would pretty easy, I love food so I guess that would contribute, plus its always good to try
something new. The third one would definitely be the hardest for me, I don’t like other people
talking bad about my family in any sort of way, especially if it’s a lie. I would probably not stay
calm at first but I would get myself together and ignore the hate.

3. Do you really need to be respectful always? Why?

For me, there are times that you NEED to be respectful, but there are also times to stand up for
yourself or those you love. My instinct is to always not judge others at first and get to know them
better, I would reciprocate the respect they gave me ten times back to them. But if they started
out disrespectful to me or my family/friends and it continues to go on, then how am I suppose to
respect him//her? I like to think positive about everyone and if they proved that wrong then I
would try to comprehend their actions or motives but if they still continue their disrespectful
behaviors, I would probably avoid him/her and avoid drama and arguing because it’s tiring.

To be respected, is to be respectful
By Celine Bragado

I always think about those noteworthy,

Are they the only few who deserved civility?
Or is it up to us who we respect
But why do people still choose to neglect?

To be respected, is to be respectful
Kindness are presents to unravel
Treat other right without the motive of evil
Disregard are for mindless and futile.

Judging by the cover is such a cliché

Try consideration before it ricochets
Relationships betters everyday
If you respect everyone, what’s the reason to run away?

What I Have Learned

After going through the previous activities, how do you intend to improve your practices
of respect? Write at least three ways.

 Consider the situation of others even better and know where they are
coming from to build trust and respect for each other.
 Acknowledge their hard work.
 Apologize when I’m in the wrong and don’t try to argue further.
Share Your Thoughts and Feelings
We are accustomed to show respect to other people especially to those who are older
than us. Look at the following picture. What if the ones we need to show respect for
are the people who are much younger than us?

1. What ways can we give to show respect to people younger to us?

We can show respect to people younger than us by not talking to them as if they’re a
lower being. Letting them voice their own opinion without influencing them with my own.
Lastly, acknowledgement to their work would be deserving and respectful to those
younger than I.

2. Why do we need to show respect to people who are younger than us?

Because younger people are people too, it doesn’t make a difference on how we should
treat a proper human being. Also, we are once at their age and we must know how it
would have felt not to be respected, and as the one older than him/her, we should avoid
letting them feel that same situation by respecting them even if they are younger.
