CL7.3.e. Respecting privacy

By

Students demonstrate respect by acknowledging and honoring each other’s right to privacy and personal space, including the right to determine whether, how and when information about their personal lives and thoughts will be revealed (e.g., it is disrespectful to read another’s diary, look through another’s backpack, hack their Facebook page, or eavesdrop on their conversations).

CL7.3.f. Respecting others’ autonomy

By

Students demonstrate respect by acknowledging and honoring the desire and right of others to govern themselves (i.e., autonomy), make decisions about their lives and be free from oppressive and offensive behavior and unwanted interference in their lives. This includes: 1) Taking the desires, opinions, perspectives, values, and goals of others seriously. 2) Refraining from repetitive arguments, tirades, rants, insults, ridicule, manipulation, or coercion to cause others to change their opinions or actions. 3) Providing others with the information they need to make informed judgments about their own lives rather than concealing the information to advance their own goals or to shield them from potential bad choices. (Example: Suppose an old boyfriend of your best friend gives you a note to give to your friend but you think it would be a terrible idea if your friend started communicating with him again – the principle of autonomy says you should deliver the note.).
