Chapter 12: Respect for One’s Nation (Interpersonal Relationship)

This chapter aims at making learners think about how they can respect their nation and the people of their
country. To learn to respect a country is a difficult concept for them to grasp. Symbolically, we can teach
them the relevance of our flag and anthem among other things, and thereby instil an abstract concept

the values we uphold into smaller parts viz. its people.

Learners are now already familiar with the concepts of respect and freedom. This chapter builds on that
learning.
