Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: The most important rule I follow in my life is to treat others with kindness, empathy, and respect, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Reason: This rule reflects my personal values and beliefs, and aligns with the principles of human rights, dignity, and compassion. By treating others with kindness, empathy, and respect, I can contribute to a positive and harmonious social environment, and can enhance my own well-being and happiness.

Example: For instance, I may apply this rule in different situations, such as in my relationships with family, friends, colleagues, or strangers, or in my involvement in social or political issues. I may also demonstrate this rule through my actions, such as volunteering, donating, advocating, or listening to others.

Alternative: Other important rules that people may follow in their lives may include honesty, responsibility, forgiveness, or self-care. These rules may reflect different priorities, needs, and contexts, and may vary across cultures, religions, and ideologies.
