I accept responsability.
One of the characteristic of human beings is our capacity to imitate other people. Most of our behavior and likes probably derive from what we have observed in other people. Each person is unique and have its personal way of seeing things, but we follow other people's example. As social beings we can't help being influenced and at the same time influencing others. That's why it's important to set an example to children and society in general. Small children have plenty of examples to follow, but surely they aren't all good examples. To treat people with respect, consideration,and most fo all as humans is a nice way of setting the example and it is also more likely that we will receive a similar treatment in response. On the other hand, if we treat people like dirt then we shouldn't be surprised to receive the same kind of treatment.

How can you relate this with your experiences as a student and teacher, Adriana? These are all "big words" and it'd be hard to disagree with them in principle, but it's not unusual to see people not follow them in everyday decisions!
Let us hear your voice!
Warmly,
