So these have the right to freely express their feelings and opinions without marrying the feelings and opinions that are different from them.
• Democracy is a norm where the student learns to respect the majority’s opinion even it was opposite to his view and through it knows that the dialogue is the best and the most effective way to convince others that his opinion is correct.
• Justice, which applies not only to relations boss-workers but also subordinates relationships with each other, so we discard someone’s act because he is weak and assume the other’s actions because he is strong. Justice requires that we look forward to everyone from a holistic perspective.

Feeling with others and fumbling their problems is a norm that the students must get used to it through social activities: Kermes for the poor, parties for people with disabilities, visiting prisons.
