lesson Content

Examples Of National Values: Obedience And Loyalty

National values are principles that guide our behavior and promote unity and harmony in society.

Obedience: Obedience means doing what we are told by those in authority, such as parents, teachers, or leaders. The following are examples:

Following school rules.
Respecting traffic signals.
Listening to parents or guardians.
Obeying instructions from community leaders.

Loyalty: Loyalty means being faithful and showing support to people, groups, or the nation. Examples are:

Standing by your family or friends.
Singing the national anthem with pride.
Supporting your school during competitions.
Defending your country against external threats.

Obedience and Loyalty with Limits

Obedience means following lawful and fair instructions. Loyalty means faithful support for one’s country, community or group. A loyal citizen protects public property, performs duties and supports peaceful improvement.

Neither value requires obeying an unlawful, abusive or dangerous order. Responsible pupils ask a trusted adult for help when an instruction could harm someone or violate a right.
