RESPECT

= Respect : yellow/gold Think 'The Golden Rule' = = =

== Treat others with respect; follow the Golden Rule • Be tolerant of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults and disagreements ==

The opposite of showing respect is showing disrespect. People with prejudices often ridicule, name-call, make racial slurs, bully, harass, stereotype, and discriminate. They are closed-minded, uninformed, and indifferent. They pre-judge and they don't tend to respect differences. If we want to create an awareness of insensitivity or prejudice in our lives, we need to ask honest questions of ourselves. Reflect on the following questions: Am I insensitive? Closed minded? Do I bully? Do I name call or stereotype? Do I discriminateagainst people who are different because of size, skin color, hair style, religious beliefs, where they live, what they wear, where they shop? If I have a negative experience with one person or group, do I automatically assume that the next encounter will be the same? Am I a bystander who allows others to harass and bully people? What might happen if/when we answer "yes" to these questions? How could the world be different or better if our answers to all of these questions were "no"? Write a summary in your journal of the unkind acts that might happen as a result of insensitivity and prejudice
