Respect is instilled from childhood in order to train respectful and considerate human beings, practice by example and treat people as they would like them to be treated.
For this reason, respect is considered one of the fundamental values of society (it is the pillar that supports it), since it allows human beings to live in harmony.
Respect means accepting the differences (cultural, religious and ideological) of others and valuing people for what they are.

It refers to the act of valuing and appreciating oneself, accepting one's convictions no matter what others think (as long as they do not harm anyone with their actions).

Culture represents the beliefs and activities shared by members of a community allowing them to express themselves.
Culture varies from one society to another. It is therefore necessary to recognize that other beliefs exist and to accept them.
In order to respect the culture of others, the following aspects must be taken into account:
- Avoid imposing beliefs on others.
- Know about other cultures (in order to avoid incurring misconduct).
