Without mutual respect and humane relations, it is impossible to build a strong state and a high-moral society. The idea of humanity is clearly formulated in almost all religions - you need to treat others the same way you treat yourself. To do this, you need to learn how to accept another person completely, with all its advantages and disadvantages.

Such activity creates a community of emotional experiences. The change of position in communication and the game forms a child’s humane, humane attitude towards others.
