Responsibility - Himanshi Rajpurohit

COVID-19 spreads primarily from person to person.  

Stay Home, Stay Safe

We all know that nowadays what is going on around us. It is such a difficult time for all of us, but soon we hope to be relieved from this situation. For this we have to be first be very responsible about maintaining proper distance among people; wearing a mask; sanitising hands every  10 - 15 minutes and after touching anything outside the house. However, being responsible doesn't mean that if you are wearing a mask and then you change and throw off the previous mask here and there. This is big irresponsible because in being safe you are harming our nature by throwing such things anywhere.

COVID-19 spreads primarily from person to person. Fighting this disease is our joint responsibility. Protect yourself and others by making some simple precautions in our daily life like while coughing or sneezing we should cover our mouth with our elbow. We should also avoid touching our mouth, eyes, and nose when we are outside. 

Most importantly we should clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Let us become responsible and fight together against the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Respect - Tamanna Solanki

Tamanna Solanki

Respect is the most recurring human value among all other human values. It is of two types: self-respect (self-esteem) and respect for others. I think we all learn it by experience. It can't be inherent, but it is learned very early in life through various experiences. It is as simple as acknowledging the presence of the other being. Mere recognizing and accepting the point of view of the other person and giving him or her due consideration is showing respect. We can be respectful of anyone's deeds, opinions, rights, dignity, decisions, likes or dislikes, etc.

Before learning how to respect others, I, rather, naturally go through a journey to recognize how it feels to be respected. I simply feel respected when my parents listen to me, when they ask my opinion on trivial family matters, when my mentors acknowledge my curiosity, doubts and responses. I feel respected when my friends consider my opinion and collaborate and cooperate with me now and then. And all these things taught me to be respectful to others irrespective of their age. This develops self-esteem, which also gives us confidence and courage and a very positive feeling. 

Most of the time, when we respect others, we are likely to get it back. But, I feel we can never be certain that giving respect ensures getting respect. As the saying goes, "Respect is not demanded; it is commanded". So, for commanding respect, we need to become worthy of others' respect. Since we are living in a society, respect for others is a must value to inculcate. And this can be done only when we respect ourselves first.

In the end, I would like to say that respect is a vital human value that is necessary for adapting to social behaviour and, therefore human survival.
