15. Respect – Meaning & Difference from Differentiation; Other Values
Respect is a fundamental human value essential for harmonious relationships within families and society. It is rooted in the inherent worth of individuals rather than external attributes such as age or wealth, which are often misconceived as respect through differentiation. Promoting respect, alongside other values like trust and care, fosters emotional security and collective harmony, while differentiation breeds conflict and misunderstanding.
