I, YOU AND WE: RESPECTING

MODULE 3
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES

Learning Objectives

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

1. recognize the different duties of your family members that strengthen harmonious relationships;
2. demonstrate ways of showing respect and strengthening relationship with others in spite of
differences in beliefs, culture and values; and
3. value the importance of respecting similarities and differences with others.

Introduction:
In this module, you will realize that living in harmony with others requires showing respect in spite of
similarities and differences. Our golden rule “Do not do unto others, what you do not want them to do unto you”
was repeatedly taught to strengthen its impact and be a seamless part of you. This principle is a powerful
reminder for you to treat others better just like how you wanted to be treated.
As you go through life, you will be confronted with challenges of interacting and working with other
people with similar and different views, beliefs, culture and values from you. Understanding and respecting
individual differences will help you recognize the importance of diversity and strengthen your interpersonal
relationships.

Let’s Review
In the previous module, you were made to examine varied situations where self-
discipline is being practiced. You were provided with activities to help you reflect on the role of
self-discipline in managing personal concerns. It is the key to a well-managed and productive life ahead.

Different But United

Learning the value of respect starts at home. Your family is composed of different members performing similar
or different roles and responsibilities. You may differ in opinions, beliefs, characteristics and abilities but being
united, you can overcome any challenges and difficulties.
1. Copy the table on a clean sheet of paper.
2. List down the duties that each of your family member performs, including you.
3. Ask them about the importance of their role in strengthening your family’s relationship amidst the different
challenges and difficulties that you encounter (examples: misunderstandings, financial problem, dealing
with the COVID-19 pandemic, etc.).
4. If possible, do this activity during your rest time so that you are all gathered in one place.
5. An example is provided to serve as your guide.

Note: You can include the other household members (grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousins). Add
rows and necessary spaces when needed.

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.

around you (family members, relatives, friends or neighbors) who fits in each description. You may personally

much as possible, identify different individuals for each description.
