Important Values

Important Values

It not about how people look nor is about how people dress up but it's about how everyone should always try their best to show respect, empathy and tolerance. Today I will be talking to you about some important values that I think we all need to share to get it back. For example, respect if we show it we get it back.

What is respect?

Respect is presenting an acceptable behaviour towards and adult, elder or just your family in general. Respect means treating someone with kindness and tolerance. For example, if someone is vegetarian and you have something that is a meat. Eating in front of them could be affecting their religion meaning you are disrespecting what they believed so you have to respect and accept that they are vegetarian. At school students are expected to respect other teachers. It is always respectful for a student to listen so that the teacher can give them the education they need.

What is empathy?

Empathy is like putting yourself in someone else's shoes to understand their lifestyle or just their personality. It’s just like the opposite of sympathy. The Definition of Empathy is the ability to understand and share feelings with another. For example, if someone is sad it's only good to talk with that person and understand what they are going through and just accept that the person feels that way.

What is tolerance?

Tolerance is sharing an idea or problem and respecting and accepting their opinion or problem. The definition of Tolerance is being patient, understanding and accepting of anything different. For example, if someone is smoking at the there house when you visit there it's only respectful if you accept it because it is their house. Tolerance also means accepting people for being a religion like Muslims, Christians, Catholic. In general, it means accepting people for who they are.


Remember It not about how people look nor is about how people dress up but it's about how everyone should always try their best to show respect, empathy and tolerance. For example, respect if we show it we get it back. I hope I have convinced you to spread kindness.

This week we had our first practice for our writing sample. Today I was writing about some about some important values like tolerance,empathy and respect.Respect is presenting an acceptable behaviour towards and adult, elder or just your family in general.Empathy is like putting yourself in someone else's shoes to understand their lifestyle or just their personality. Tolerance is sharing an idea or problem and respecting and accepting their opinion or problem. I think next time I should work on my punctuation and interesting words.
