Key points for reflection:

• Behaviour that embarrasses people isn't fun.
• Lack of sensitivity is lack of respect.
• Don't assume your behaviour is okay because no one has objected.
• Would you say or do this with your spouse or loved one standing by?
• If someone indicates your behaviour is unwanted or objectionable, stop immediately and don't do it again.
• Jokes about another person's family, appearance, nationality or religion are rarely appropriate.
• If you are in any doubt about the appropriateness of a conversation topic, it is best to leave it out of the workplace (or learning environment).
