Editing Respect (section)

=== Indigenous American culture ===
In many [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|indigenous American societies]], respect is viewed as a [[moral value]] that teaches indigenous people about their culture. This moral value is treated as a process that influences participation in the community and also helps people develop and become integrated into their culture. For this reason, the value of respect is taught during childhood.<ref>{{cite journal|last1= Fernandez|first1= David-Lorente|title= Ser respetuoso es ser persona.

Respect as a form of behavior and participation is especially important as a basis of how children must conduct themselves in their community. Children engage in mature activities such as cooking for the family, cleaning and sweeping the house, caring for infant peers, and crop work. Indigenous children learn to view their participation in these activities as a representation of respect. Through this manner of showing respect by participation in activities, children not only learn about culture but also practice it as well.{{cn|reason=|date=September 2023}}
