- Section One: Behavior –

1.) Respect other people, above and below you in rank. We are all living beings with feelings and ideas, just like you.

2.) Respect other’s feelings and ideas. While it’s not always what you want or even what you think, you don’t have to say anything if it’s destructive. As already mentioned, we’re all living beings. Think before you act.
