IV. Time Frame: OCTOBER - NOVEMBER

V. Concept:

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 the challenges of interacting and
working with other people with similar and different views, beliefs, culture,s and values
from you. Understanding and respecting individual differences will help you recognize the
importance of diversity and strengthen your interpersonal relationships.

VI. Activity:

B. Let’s Explore this!

INSTRUCTIONS:
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 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 the
names of the people around you (family members, relatives, friends, or neighbors) who
fit in each description. You may personally identify them based on your knowledge
about them or by asking if one of the descriptions is true to them. As much as possible,
identify different individuals for each description.

2. Who among the people around you have significant similarities with and
differences from you? Explain briefly its impact in your relationship with them.
3. How do you strengthen your relationship with the people around you in spite
of your differences?
Answer:

1. I feel happy because I know some things that my relatives rather friends they truly love to do.
2. My friends and family are both important and are similar to me in other ways, but the difference is that
my friends are there to encourage me, express their love for me, and laugh with me, which makes me
feel better even when we argue. While my family is always at my side, much like my friends, family is
special to me since we have lived together since I was born into this world, and they are precious to me
because they show me how they love, support, provide for my needs, and protect me.
3. Respect and understanding are key to strengthening relationships with those around me
despite differences. Differences will no longer be a barrier, but rather a means to develop one's
connection.

D. Share your Thoughts & Feelings

INSTRUCTIONS:
On a clean sheet of paper, make at least 3-5 paragraph essay guided by the following
questions:

1. How do you practice respect for people who are very different from you?
2. When was the last time you struggled to respect other people? Cite your personal
experience.
3. How do you react if others are not respecting you?

Answer:

One of the most wonderful and amazing aspects of humanity is that we are all different
from one another; each person is unique in their own way. Rather than fearing such differences,
we must recognize and embrace them, and above all, be respectful of them.

We don't always understand why others say or do certain things, or even what they dress
because their culture or religion is so different from ours. This may seem unusual or ridiculous
to us, but we must keep in mind that we may appear strange or silly to them as well. Rather
than making fun of what they do that makes us curious, we should accept their differences and
try to understand why they do that kind of thing. The simplest approach to demonstrate respect
for people is to listen when they talk, to the things that interest them, and to the reasons for their
actions. We learn when we give importance to one another.

Respect for others is not something I have a problem with. It's a test when someone is
almost beyond respect, but I always remember that people are who they are for a reason, and
that reason may come from childhood trauma. I reply by remaining silent and then praying.
People aren't always easy to work with, but they deserve to be respected no matter what
happen.

While re-evaluating what you may or may not have done correctly, I would encourage
quietly leaving myself up to direct and honest conversation. If you haven't done anything, you
can reasonably think that you either don't have the appropriate information yet or that you
weren't in the wrong in the first place. Also, if you don't want to continue being careless and/or
fearful, DO SOMETHING to modify your unhelpful behaviors. Clearly, you have issues that need
to be addressed, or else this wouldn't have to be spoken or properly considered.

Somehow, I, as an individual, I'm always left at the end because I refuse to apologize
without first clarifying what I am apologizing for, even though I haven't done anything wrong
other than perhaps not knowing how to best assist people because of THEIR OWN
unwillingness to communicate properly and/or take action for themselves and/or others.
