Looking back to my positive characteristics and qualities, i realized that there are some good qualities that i have that i just discovered during those time when i'm making my journals.

2. The Golden Rule says “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”a. Given the following situations, how would you like to be treated by your teachers and schoolmates: - when you have given wrong answers to the questions during recitation, - when you are expressing your opinion during class or group discussion; - when you are giving suggestions during group work or presentation; - when you commit mistake; - when you don’t like doing what they ask you to do and - when they want to give you their comments or suggestions?

In the given situation, i would like my teachers and schoolmates to treat me nicely and show some respect.because i will do the same thing if they are in the same situation, like when they are giving their own opinion or giving a sugestion, because everyone should be given a respect when they are speacking or giving their statements.


b. Considering the given ideas on how to treat others with respect, what can you commit to yourself in terms dealing with the MCL community: teachers, students, employees, security, maintenance/janitors and canteen personnel?


We should treat others with respect, because all of us are equal to God and should be respected, it doesent matter if your in the higher or lower possition. One example is in MCL community, me as i student should not only respect the teachers but also the security, maintenance and canteen personel of the MCL community because they are also should be treated right and to be respected just like what the golden rule says.
