Module-1.3 Differences Similarilties

1) Understanding and recognizing individual differences is important, as people are all unique yet complement each other in their differences, just as the parts of the body are different but all serve important purposes. 2) People may prefer friends similar to themselves for personal reasons, but we all have equal rights regardless of race, family background, culture, or how we choose to live. 3) To have meaningful relationships with those different from yourself, maintain an open mind, accept others as they are, value differences as what make people unique, listen closely to understand others' perspectives, and genuinely seek to understand others' opinions and beliefs.

Keep in Mind:

Understanding that everyone is unique and


recognizing individual differences.
You might have known that there are no two
people alike, but it is in our differences that we
complement each other. It is like your body that is
composed of different parts, but all are important
as they all serve you in different ways.
Keep in Mind:
You might have preferred to be a friend to
someone who is a lot like you or those who are
different from you for some personal reasons or
preferences. We were born from different races,
we were raised from different families of varying
cultures, and we all have equal rights and
privileges, of who we want to be or how we want to
live, that might explain our similarities or
differences.
Here are a few ways that you can do to achieve a more
meaningful relation with them:
1.Begin with an open mind.
Be willing to hear and learn about others’
views, beliefs, culture, or values. This gives
you the opportunity to establish connection
with others and have a wider understanding of
the world in which we live in.
2. Accept others for who they are.
Acceptance is the ability to see that others
have a right to be their own unique persons.
This will help you develop empathy, a skill that
will help you to better understand those who
are different from you.
3. Value the differences.
Appreciating our similarities and differences is
vital in creating a community that is united
amidst diversity. Remember, our differences
are what make us unique and special.
4. Listen closely.
Focus on what others are saying and
sharing. Pay attention to their emotions and
try to understand where they’re coming
from. We learn when we listen to one another.
5. Seek understanding.
Instead of questioning the validity of the
other person’s opinions or beliefs, ask
questions and be curious. Genuinely try to
understand others and make them feel respected.
Activity 1.3
Within every group of people, there are
similarities and differences among individuals.
Some of these are obvious while others are not. It
is important to recognize and respect your
similarities with and differences from the people
around you in order to strengthen your
relationship with them.
Copy the Diversity Card on a clean sheet of
paper. Complete the card by writing names of the
people around you (family members, relatives,
friends or neighbors) who fits in each description.
You may personally identify them based on your
knowledge about them or by asking if one of the
description is true to them. As much as possible,
identify different individuals for each description
