Opportunities For Respect

Most of us wouldn't dream of intentionally offending anyone - let alone a colleague, a student or a professor. However in our ever-changing world, it is sometimes hard to keep up with what's right and what's not.

You are likely acquainted with the Golden Rule, "Treat others as you want to be treated." You may also be acquainted with the Platinum Rule, "Treat others as THEY want to be treated." It isn't always easy to discern how someone else would want to be treated because it requires the ability to consider things from someone else's perspective. Respect requires us to make the effort to understand the other person.

Inclusive Communication provides an opportunity to consider how we interact with each other.

Cultural Competence affords us the opportunity to look at differences between families, regions, and countries of origin.

Respect requires the ability to actively engage in a process of changing how we see each other.
