Personal Norms and Values

The personal norms and values I have maybe different from someone else’s. This does not mean we will not be able to socialize or work with each other. Personally, I try to treat others the why I would like to be treated. I believe the key to treating others fairly is: RESPECT, not compromising or understanding. I may listen but that does not mean I will understand an individual’s norms or values; however I can respect their choice. I do not need to compromise with anyone’s norm or values as I may feel very strongly about my own; however I can respect their perspective. Out of respect for their norms and values, I won’t force mine on them:

Show respect for others norm and values

Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

This is not to say we could not have a conversation about the difference between our norm and values. We could critically examine each others norms and values but there is a difference between being passionate about your opinions and being blatantly rude. We don’t need to attack each other. We can respect each other’s values and norms while being true to own.Although, sometimes one must consider the individual’s level of maturity, if I know they are not mature enough to have an honest rapport on our difference, do not discuss it with them. This is a demonstration of respect for both our norms and values. Regardless, they are humans just like me and there is no reason I shouldn't be able to work or socialize with them. Respect to me as an individual. Everyone has the right to choose.

To me everyone will be treated fairly, if people show respect t to each other despite their differences and treat others the way they would like some one else to be treat them.
