INCLUSION- failing to overcome such fears can cause us to exclude people simply or being different, leaving them felling isolated and ashamed of their uniqueness.
RESPONSIBILITY- learning to be responsible means we must take ownership of our decision and ensure that others do not suffer as a result of our behaviour.
