​Lets Recap based on your Q1 experience:

What is Respect?

Well, here is the formal definition:

A way of thinking about and responding to someone or something with due courtesy and recognition.

Apply this definition to the following scenarios and select the best choice...

Multiple Choice

Someone drops their books in the hall. Which would be the most respectful way to respond?

• Only help if they ask for it.

• Laugh and walk away.

• Help them automatically,

Multiple Choice

You're in the hallway during class. A teacher stops you to ask you where you're going.

• Stop and answer their questions politely.

• You have a right to be the hall - let them know that.

• Ignore them and keep walking - it's none of their business.

Multiple Choice

You have homework due tomorrow but don't really feel like doing it.

• Blow it off and do what you want.

• Make yourself get it done - you'll feel better about yourself tomorrow!

• Just wait until tomorrow and see if you have time before class.

Who CONTROLS Respect?

Look at the definition again...
A way of thinking about and responding to someone or something with due courtesy and recognition.

Before answering the next questions, think about the differences between influence and control.

Think about who/what can INFLUENCE your responses vs who/what CONTROLS how you respond.

Multiple Select

Select ALL that can INFLUENCE your thinking:

• Social media.

• Your friends

• Your parents.

• Your past experiences.

Multiple Choice

Who CONTROLS what you think?

• Social media.

• Your friends

• You.

• Your parents.

Multiple Select

Select ALL that can INFLUENCE how you respond to situations:

• your friends/peer pressure

• authority figures/laws/rules

• your past experiences

Multiple Choice

Who CONTROLS how you respond to situations?

• The media.

• You.

• Authority figures (parents, law enforcement, teachers, etc.)

• Your friends.

Hopefully you realize ultimiteley YOU control what you think and how you respond to situations.

If someone else seems to control these things, work at taking your power back.

This ties into the community in which you surround yourself. You can allow CHOSEN others to influence you, but not control you.

Theres a saying some people have when it comes to respecting others:

"Respect is EARNED, I'll respect them when they respect ME!"

Really think through this... if this were the case, would anyone EVER be showing respect to others>? NO! Everyone would be waiting on someone else first.

Respect for ALL Human Beings

Every human being is due, or deserves respect.

This type isnt earned, it's automatic- because they're a himan being.

Multiple Choice

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

The way others treat you controls the level of respect you give them.

• True - they are in control.

• False - you are in control.

Multiple Choice

You've grown up teasing people - it's your family's way of playing and showing affection. You meet a new kid in class and begin teasing him. He doesn't seem to enjoy it the way your brother and sister do. To be respectful, you should....

• Stop teasing him and apologize in case you hurt his feelings. His feelings are more important than your intentions.

• Who cares! If you're having fun, that's all that matters!

• Continue to tease him - your intentions are good - he needs to toughen up and be able to handle teasing.

Multiple Select

Someone posts a political opinion on social media that you don't agree with.

(Select ALL that would be respectful.)

• Keep on scrolling - ignore it.

• Smile and say hi to them when you/they walks into the classroom.

• Ignore them like everyone else does.

• When groups are being formed, volunteer to be in their group.

• Engage them in conversation - ask them about an assignment or what them does outside of school.

• Let them approach you first, if they wanted to be friends they would make an effort to do so..

​Have you ever thought about deserving respect from YOURSELF???

This type ISN'T earned.

You don't have to be "good enough" or meet expectation before you can respect yourself. No one is perfect, and we can constantly improve ourselves.

Multiple Choice

You forgot to finish your homework and it is being graded today in class. Which is the most respectful to yourself?

• Start respecting yourself and turning things around right away! Don't give up when you make a mistake - just make a better decision next time!

• You don't deserve respect until you've lived right for a few weeks. Keep reminding yourself of your bad decisions until you feel really bad and make better decisions.

• Good luck! Changing isn't really possible....

Multiple Choice

Which is true?

• You deserve self respect, regardless of any poor choices you've made.

• Once you have become a good person you can begin to respect yourself.

• There's no such thing as respecting yourself.

Respect for Authority

Positions of Authority in life are due, or deserve, respect.

This type isn't earned.

Remember YOU control respecting them; it is based on YOUR thoughts and responses, not what they think or say.

Whether you like, dislike, agree, or disagree with them, you can and should still respect them.

Multiple Choice

You should be respectful of a person's position of authority even if you don't like them or agree with them.

• True - changing things can be done but being disrespectful is not the way.

• False - being disrespectful is the best way to make change.

Multiple Choice

If you don't like what a person in authority is asking you to do (examples - a parent telling you to stay in for the evening, a teaching telling you to put up your phone, a policeman asking you to get out of your car), what should you do?

• You don't have to do anything you don't like. You have the right to refuse to do anything that they ask.

• Just because you don't like it doesn't give you the right to refuse. You should comply with what they are asking you to do the first time they ask.
