Building on Respect

If you are in a library, you don’t talk loudly out of respect.

Respect for others is the foundation of our

civilized culture.

If you own a dog, you keep it off your neighbors’ lawn out of respect.

3

Respect

The attention, regard, and

consideration given to people

and their rights, property, and

ideas

4

Respect means accepting

differences—tolerating and valuing

other people and their customs,

culture, attitudes, and beliefs.

Establishing and Demonstrating Mutual

Respect

You may have heard some people say that “respect is earned.” To be effective, a leader must earn respect from the members of his or her group.

8

Americans believe

that every human

being has basic,

inherent value and

rights.

9

The Declaration of Independence...

"...all men are created equal...with

certain unalienable Rights…"

9

10

This means that people don’t need to “earn”

these things; they are born with them and

cannot justly be deprived of them.

10

11

As a citizen, you are

obliged to respect the

rights of others;

likewise, they as citizens

are obliged to do the

same for you.

11

12

Respect must be returned; it must be mutual. It is the two-way relationship that develops after the lines of communication are open and trust develops between people or groups.

13

Mutual respect is what makes all relationships run smoothly—between friends, student and teacher, husband and wife, or any other group of people.

16

People develop respect for others when they

feel that others respect their personal

dignity.

17

The internal strength that helps

people feel connected,

worthwhile, and valued

Personal Dignity

18

Personal dignity is closely linked to a

person’s self-worth. A lack of respect

breaks down personal dignity.

19

A breakdown of respect leads to a number

of negative social behaviors, including:

• Crime

• Suicide• Politicaldiscontent

• Familydisruption

• Substanceabuse

• Childneglect

20

Respect is a powerful

force, and a society

cannot function if its

members do not

establish and practice

mutual respect.

21

Can you think of any

examples of societies

or groups in which a

lack of mutual respect

led to upheaval or

disaster?

A. personal dignity

B. mutual respect

C. inherent rights

D. tolerance for others

strength that comes from feeling

connected, worthwhile, and valued,

he/she has _______.

23

A. personal dignity

B. mutual respect

C. inherent rights

D. tolerance for others

When a person experiences the

strength that comes from feeling

connected, worthwhile, and valued,

he/she has _______.

24

Ways of Showing Respect

The easiest way to show respect is simply

to be courteous or use your manners.

25

Showing respect can be as simple as saying:

• “Please” when you ask for something

• “Thank you” when you receive something

• “Excuse me” if you accidentally bump into

someone

• “Yes (or no) sir” or “Yes (or no) ma’am” to

adults

• “Good morning” or “Good afternoon,”

especially to people older than you are.

26

Other examples of personal respect include:

• Holding the door for an elderly person or a

child

• Standing when an older person enters the

room

• Not interrupting people

• Not using a cell phone while you’re

conversing with someone face-to-face

27

• Not chewing gum or eating loudly while

conversing with someone

• Taking off your hat or cap when you’re

indoors

• Taking off a glove before you shake

someone’s hand

• Removing your sunglasses before

speaking to someone.

Other examples of personal respect include:

28

You show respect on a professional as well

as personal basis by:

• Dealing with people in a cooperative way

• Communicating clearly

• Listening actively

• Giving constructive feedback

• Being flexible

• Creating opportunities to teach and learn

29

• Sharing behaviors and feelings

• Viewing situations as win-win scenarios

• Using inclusive language (for example,

saying “we” instead of “you” or “they”).

34

The Values of Tolerance and Understanding

Tolerance means understanding and standing up for people’s differences and helping ensure that everyone receives equal treatment.

35

Respect for people’s differences

and values

Tolerance

36

You might say tolerance and mutual respectare like a two-way street. The traffic moves both ways: You show tolerance for others and they show tolerance for you.

37

You may encounter barriers which will hinder your ability to live and perform in a mutually respectful environment. Among these barriers are:

• Prejudice

• Discrimination

• Failure to valuediversity

40

Prejudice

It causes you to assume you have a person or a

situation figured out in advance—before you

even talk to the person or see the situation for

yourself.

The word PREJUDICE is exactly what it sounds

like; PRE-JUDGE.

41

An unfair opinion or judgment of

a person or a group of people

Prejudice

42

Prejudice is an

irrational way of

thinking—it doesn’t

permit reflection and

is usually based on

limited experience,

hunches, or hearsay,

rather than on facts.

43

Rumor; something heard from

others with no evidence that it is

true

Hearsay

44

Prejudices are so common that we sometimes take them for granted. That can be not only hurtful; it can be downright dangerous.

45

A. It is based on hearsay and a narrow

range of experience instead of facts.

B. It means making a decision about

someone in advance.

C. It results from rational thought and

allows for reflection.

D. It is very common and often taken

for granted.

Which of these statements is

inaccurate regarding prejudice?

46

A. It is based on hearsay and a narrow

range of experience instead of facts.

B. It means making a decision about

someone in advance.

C. It results from rational thought and

allows for reflection.

D. It is very common and often taken

for granted.

Which of these statements is

inaccurate regarding prejudice?

47

Prejudices can lead you to make blanket assumptions about an entire group of people rather than looking at them as individuals. For example, how would you respond if someone said to you, “Athletes are stupid?”

48

You could roll your eyes and nod, as if in

agreement, but if overcoming prejudice were

your goal, you’d respond very differently.

49

• Who made the statement?

• Is it someone who plays sports or not?

• Does the person know any athletes?

You’d have to think logically and ask

yourself a series of questions such as these:

50

• Who made the statement?

• Is it someone who plays sports or not?

• Does the person know any athletes?

• On what grounds did the person make

the claim about athletes’ intelligence?

• Does he or she have access to all

athletes’ school transcripts?

You’d have to think logically and ask

yourself a series of questions such as these:

51

• Do you know of evidence to disprove

the claim?

• Do you know any smart athletes?

• Or have you read about any great

athletes who were also top scholars?

• If you don’t personally know any

athletes, is it a good idea to

automatically accept another person’s

opinion as fact?

You’d have to think logically and ask

yourself a series of questions such as these:

52

A. Does this speaker have a great deal of

experience or knowledge about the subject?

B. Can I come up with any evidence of my own to

disprove the statement?

C. Should I automatically accept someone else’s

opinion as fact?

D. Have I heard anyone else say something

similar about this group of people?

If you were attempting to free yourself from

prejudice and heard someone make a statement

about a particular group of people, which of

these questions would be LEAST enlightening to

you?

54

People aren’t born

PREJUDICED.

Reasons For Prejudice

55

PREJUDICE is a learned trait.

Like the song from the musical South Pacific

says “You have to be taught to hate.” You

pick it up from the messages society sends.

56

People develop prejudices for several

reasons. One is fear. People are capable of

fearing other people, ideas, or cultures

different from their own.

57

True or False: Prejudice is learned, not

innate behavior.

58

True

True or False: Prejudice is learned, not

innate behavior.

59

Another reason for prejudice is a group’s

feelings of superiority toward members of

other groups—whether the feelings are

racial, ethnic, or religious.

60

Sometimes it’s a question of men

versus women.

61

Misunderstanding is another source of prejudice. An innocent gesture or word in

one culture can be an insult in another.

62

For example, in America, putting your feet up on a desk can show that you are feeling relaxed and friendly, whereas in the Middle East, showing someone the bottoms of your shoes is a grave affront to Muslims, who see the foot as unclean.

63

Still another reason is

perceptions of history.

People and groups

often remember the

wrongs done to them

far better than they

remember the wrongs

they’ve done to others.

64

Perhaps you had a bad experience with a member of another group. You then proceed to blame all members of that group for what one person did in the past.

65

At a broader level, many ethnic and religious groups around the world have a long history of disagreements with each other over land, resources, and political power. They’ve fought bitter wars with atrocities on both sides.

66

True or False: Certain gestures or

behaviors have different meanings in

different countries.

67

True

True or False: Certain gestures or

behaviors have different meanings in

different countries.

68

Discrimination

One danger of PREJUDICE is that it can

lead to DISCRIMINATION.

68

69

Unfair treatment based on

prejudice against a certain group

Discrimination

70

Discrimination is often based on perceived

traits such as:

• Skin color

• Gender

• Age.

But the possibilities are endless.

71

What counts are the feelings of the person

being discriminated against—and your

efforts to treat that individual no differently

than you treat anyone else.

Overweight

Left-handed

72

If someone compliments you on your new winter coat and says you have “discriminating taste,” that’s a good thing.

It means that you tend to seek out the quality things in life.

73

If someone says you’re “discriminatory” in your attitudes, watch out.

You may be picking your friends on the basis of something other than their character, actions, or personalities. You may be judging them on the basis of stereotypes.

74

True or False: To have discriminating

taste is to have the ability to

distinguish quality in things.

75

True

True or False: To have discriminating

taste is to have the ability to

distinguish quality in things.

76

A. discriminating

B. discriminatory

C. discretionary

D. discrete

To be called _______ is to be

perceived as having prejudiced views.

77

A. discriminating

B. discriminatory

C. discretionary

D. discrete

To be called _______ is to be

perceived as having prejudiced views.

78

A stereotype

can be negative

or positive. It’s a

picture you

carry around in

your head about

a thing or

person, without

ever questioning

its validity.

79

An idea or a concept that is based

on oversimplified assumptions or

opinions, rather than on facts

Stereotype

80

Are all pit bulls vicious?

Are all kittens cuddly?

Or are these labels basis on limited

experience or stories in the media?

How true are the stereotypes?

Assumptions based on stereotypes.

A pit bull is a vicious dog.

A kitten is a cuddly creature.

81

True or False: A stereotype is always a

negative idea or concept.

82

False

True or False: A stereotype is always a

negative idea or concept.

83

Diversity

83

When someone says that American society

values diversity, that means Americans

encourage variety and live in a society that

respects differences among people.

84

Variation or difference

Diversity

85

Since these movements, America has

made progress in granting equal rights to

all its citizens.

Women’s Suffrage

1960s

86

Americans practice this freedom regardless of

their gender, age, race, ethnicity, national

origin, religion, family status, sexual

preference, or physical ability.

86

87

The struggle for mutual respect, however,

is still waged in the United States and all

modern countries to become more

tolerant and open societies.

Religious Respect

Religious intolerance has ignited conflict

after conflict throughout human history.

91

It’s not condoning or

condemning but just

respecting others’ rights.

Religious respect

is so important

because it

involves making

a conscious

effort to respect

the beliefs—or

nonbeliefs—of

others.

92

Honor for the right of other people

religious beliefs

93

Gender Stereotypes

Have you ever heard someone say that boys

aren’t supposed to cry?

Or that girls are no good in science?

If you’re a boy, do people assume you love

sports?

If you’re a girl, does everyone assume you

like to cook?

If so, you’re experiencing gender

stereotyping.

94

The practice of thinking about

people in limited ways on the

basis of whether they are male

or female

Gender Stereotyping

95

Gender stereotypes

cover cultural, social,

psychological, and

behavioral traits of

males and females.

96

Gender equality is a complex issue that’s

still evolving. The United States is working

at how to be a just society—a society that

practices justice—and as a free people, it

is the duty of all Americans to seek

“justice for all.” 96

102

1. You build your ways of dealing with people

on the basis of false assumptions or

misleading mental images.

Gender stereotypes have at least two big

problems.

103

2. Gender stereotypes make clear

communication difficult, if not impossible.

Without communication, there’s no

understanding. With no understanding,

there’s no respect.

104

How can you avoid stereotyping people by

their gender?

• Be sensitive to language that might contain

gender stereotypes (“you guys,” “you

gals,” etc.).

• Don’t go with your gut reaction—it’s likely

to be based on preconceptions.

• Take time to think.

• Avoid using hurtful words or expressions.

• Don’t fall victim to peer pressure.

• View everyone as an equal.

105

In the spirit of mutual

respect, you need to

be open-minded.

Respect the ideas of

adults in your life as

well as those of your

friends, then form your

own opinions.

Think for yourself on gender issues.

108

Demonstrating Tolerance

Overcoming prejudice and discrimination

begins with each individual, and the goal

is to see people as people.108

109

How do you know if you are showing

tolerance and understanding towards other

people? Ask yourself: Am I treating them

the way I would want them to treat me?109

110

How would you feel if others made fun of:

• your skin color

• ethnic background

• hair color

• religion

• the region of the U.S. you are from?

111

How would you feel if you were denied:

• a place on the team

• an education

• a job

• an opportunity

simply because someone decided you

belonged to the “wrong” group?

112

How would you feel if others refused:

• To be friends with you

• To eat in the school cafeteria with you

• To live in the same neighborhood with

you because of their prejudice?

113

If you wouldn’t like other people doing that

to you, don’t do it to them. That’s the

foundation of tolerance and mutual respect.

117

Improving Group Effectiveness

Establishing mutual respect, being tolerant,

and valuing diversity are important for

individuals, but they’re equally important at

the group or organizational level.117

118

Working Toward Common Goals

Did you ever push two bar magnets around

on a tabletop?

What happened as you brought them closer

together?

119

Either the magnets flipped away from each

other the closer you placed them, or they

snapped together, forming a bond.

120

All magnets are polarized—they have a

south pole and a north pole. One pole is

positive, and the other is negative.

121

If you bring

two positive

or two

negative

poles

together,

the magnets

repel each

other.

If you put a negative and a positive pole

close to each other, the magnets attract

each other.

122

You can compare members of a team or

group with magnets. If group members can’t

communicate clearly and see a common

goal, they tend to lack trust and respect for

each other. Nothing productive will happen.

123

Members of a group or team bond and are

ready to produce results when they have a

clearly defined common goal and are able to

communicate their plan of action to achieve

that goal.

124

A. Tolerance

B. Success

C. Empathy

D. Bonding

What is the result on a group if there

is a clear goal and good

communication about the plan of

action?

What is the result on a group if there

is a clear goal and good

communication about the plan of

126

Benefits of Accepting Differences

People often find it difficult to accept other

people’s differences, and it seems to put

them at odds with each other.

127

The benefits of accepting other people’s

differences outweigh the drag that

prejudicial thinking puts on team

performance.

128

No team can be whole while any of its members holds wrong assumptions, false impressions, and stereotypes about fellow team members.

The best team is unified!

129

Communication is key to breaking down

the barriers and accepting others’

differences. 129

130

Tapping the talents, ideas, experiences, and ingenuity of a diverse group of people is very productive.

131

A. energetic

are _______.

132

A. energetic

B. intelligent

C. unified

D. organized

A team functions best if the members

are _______.

133

A diverse group of people must trust and listen to each other. They must not only accept but also value their differences.

Diversity is a strength!

135

Evaluating and Measuring Group

Effectiveness

How do you tell if your

group or team is

working effectively?

1. Establish clear goals.

2. Decide whether the group is meeting

those goals.

136

Are team members devoting their efforts to

the team’s task, or wasting them arguing

among themselves over issues that have

little or nothing to do with the task?

137

Team building is constantly seeking a measure of results—or movement toward results.

138

But you as a leader must measure, evaluate, and adjust as needed. Hitting the bull’s-eye might take a while, but you will finally make a direct hit.

139

For Greater Group Effectiveness:

• Forgive mistakes quickly—People often

learn more from failure than from

success.

• Hold members accountable—Every

team member should have a role and

should be responsible for carrying it

out.

• Foster trust and commitment—Both are

essential to teamwork.

• Don’t make excuses—Whining and

placing blame are counterproductive.

140

For Greater Group Effectiveness:

• Make the hard decisions—Winning

doesn’t come easy.

• Seek concrete answers and

solutions—You can use them to

measure effectiveness.

• Respect differences—See them as a

source of strength.

• Constantly strive toward mutual

respect— Respect is the glue that

holds the group or team together.

141

A. comfortable

B. imaginative

C. accountable

D. predictable

To increase the effectiveness of the

group, make sure that each member is

_______.

142

143

Conflict in Groups

Although groups

can have any

number of

conflicts, they all

boil down to three

basic types of

conflicts:

• Perspective

• Purpose

• Practice

144

Conflict in Perspective

Conflicts in perspective involve what people

do and why they do it. It has to do with team

members’ differing beliefs and values.

145

Conflict in Perspective

The student who wants

the highest-possible

grade point average

(GPA) believes that a

college degree is

critical for success. GPA

4.0

146

Conflict in Perspective

A student who wants

only a high school

diploma, on the other

hand, doesn’t think

college is important.

147

Conflict in Perspective

These two students’ values are different, and those values will determine how they act and react in a group.

GPA4.0

High School

148

If people try to solve perspective-level

conflicts by ignoring or working around them,

the conflicts will continue. The participants

have not addressed the underlying issues.

149

Sometimes perspective-level conflicts are impossible to resolve. You then must agree to disagree and work out the best compromise possible.

Conflicts in _______ revolve around

the reasons that people do what they

do, generally because of their different

values.

153

A. performance

B. purpose

C. practice

D. perspective

Conflicts in _______ revolve around

the reasons that people do what they

do, generally because of their different

values.

154

Conflicts in Purpose

Conflicts in purpose involve what people want to achieve. These conflicts arise when members can’t accept the team’s goals and objectives.

155

For example, one team member might say, “I don’t care what grade we receive on this assignment. I just want to get it done.” Another member might say, “I want us to put together an A+ presentation so that I will keep the highest GPA possible.”

156

To deal with conflicts of purpose, the leader should set clear goals before the project begins—with input from team members.

Goals are easier

to establish and

change than team

perspective.

157

Conflicts in Practice

• when the team will meet

• where it will meet

• who will lead the meetings

they have conflicts at the practice level.

Conflicts in practice

have to do with the

team’s processes

and procedures. If

members can’t agree

on:

158

A leader’s best bet in dealing with conflicts

of practice is to set up operating procedures

before the team begins its work. At the least,

the leader can insist that practices and

procedures support the team’s objectives.

159

A. The leader should consistently remind group

members that his/her decisions are fair and

final.

B. Before the project begins, the leader should

articulate goals clearly, with team members

having input.

C. Brief conflict resolution meetings should be

scheduled at the first hint of a problem

regarding purpose.

D. Before the project begins, team members

should make a purpose plan, which the leader

keeps on track.

purpose?

161

Methods of Handling Conflict

People react to conflict in a group or team

setting in one of two ways: fight or flight.

162

At their best, they

express their own

perspectives, yet

continue to work

with team

members to arrive

at a solution.

At their

worst, they

lash out,

explode,

argue, and

become

competitive.

Some people fight when they perceive a

conflict. They become aggressive.

163

At their best, they

thoughtfully

reflect on the

issues at hand

and offer their

ideas to try to

resolve them.

At their worst,

they pout,

withdraw,

passively resist,

and avoid

working through

conflicts at all

costs.

When faced with conflict, other people will

resort to flight. These people are passive.

164

True or False: When confronted with

conflict in a team or group, people

have either a fight or flight reaction.

True or False: When confronted with

conflict in a team or group, people

have either a fight or flight reaction.

166

Most people have developed strategies for

handling everyday conflicts.

They may retreat. They may detour around

the problem—a method that works

sometimes, but may become habit-forming.

167

You can’t retreat. You can’t get around it.

You must adjust.

Sometimes you can’t pretend that the

problem doesn’t exist.

168

Does it mean

forcing others to

give in to your

wishes, never

compromising,

and relying on the

other person to

adjust?

What is adjustment?

Does it mean giving in to avoid trouble or

making a scene?

169

• Retreating

• Detouring

Four main ways people handle conflict:

• Standing still

• Encountering

170

Retreating

Retreating is blocking or moving away from

a problem or conflict. People who retreat

don’t want to confront conflict head on.

171

In some cases, they may even withdraw from

society to try to escape reality.

They may give

up without even

trying.

They may try to

place the blame

on others.

172

Loss of a loved one, for example, might cause someone to retreat in fear of future loss, rejection, or loneliness.

Sometimes retreat is understandable.

A. Encountering

B. Detouring

C. Retreating

D. Standing Still

What term is used to refer to the

method of handling conflict by

blocking or moving away from it?

175

Standing Still

Standing still is avoiding a problem or

conflict by using defense mechanisms.

Stay in one

place rather

than to risk

defeat or

rejection.

176

The student with

great potential who

takes the easiest

course, so that he

or she doesn’t have

to work very hard.

For example…

177

The adult who prefers

to stand still says, “It

was good enough for

my parents, and it’s

good enough for me.

Why change now?”

For example…

178

Other forms of standing still include such

defense mechanisms as rationalization and

projection or just daydreaming, forgetting,

and regression.

179

Concealing the true motivation

for one’s thoughts, actions, or

feelings by offering reassuring,

but incorrect, explanations

Rationalization

180

The act of falsely attributing to

others one’s own unacceptable

feelings, impulses, or thoughts

Projection

181

A. rationalizing

B. projecting

C. detouring

D. compensating

If someone hides the real motive for

thoughts, actions, or feelings by using

reassuring but inaccurate

explanations, he/she is _______.

185

Detouring

Detouring is moving around, or avoiding, a

problem or conflict.

186

People who constantly avoid important

issues may think they’ve dealt with a

problem, but the solution is temporary.

187

If your friend Mark says, “Suzanne gets good

grades because she’s the teacher’s pet,”

he’s detouring rather than facing the fact that

he doesn’t study enough.

The problem is bound to arise again.

188

Compensation is one

way of detouring. A

rejected or insecure

person may

compensate by

showing off, being

sarcastic, or

misbehaving—just to

get attention.

189

A mechanism by which an

individual attempts to make up for

some real or imagined deficiency

of personality or behavior by

developing or stressing another

aspect of the personality or by

substituting a different form of

behavior

Compensation

190

For example, a guy who doesn’t make the

varsity basketball team could compensate

by becoming a whiz in computer science.

In some cases, compensation has favorable

results.

191

Encountering

Encountering is the

best way to handle

problems.

Encountering is

facing a conflict

head-on and reaching

a solution.President

Abraham Lincoln

192

The person who faces

problems stands a

much better chance of

solving them than the

person who avoids or

ignores them does.

195

You probably find it

easy to advise others

about how to face

their problems, but

when it’s your own

problem, it’s a

different story.

196

Like everyone else, you face problems and

conflicts every day. You must compromise—

adjust to those around you.

197

To function in society, you must learn to

meet, encounter, and resolve those

problems and conflicts.197
