Our Values: Respecting Others

What are values? They’re the basis of how we choose to behave; our judgement of what matters in life. Freedom of speech, having good manners, caring about the environment: these things are all values. Your values matter. But in a community, it’s important to respect other people’s values too. In this book you’ll learn about respecting others. This means behaving in a way that shows people that you care about their feelings and rights. It includes having good manners, obeying laws, showing empathy and respecting yourself, too.
