Spanish term

que honre lo propio

Spanish to English Social Sciences Environment & Ecology Learning networks for conservation
As per my previous question, this appears in a long sentence in an executive summary:

"Educar para el desarrollo sustentable es educar en una racionalidad diferente, en la democracia, en la claridad de futuros posibles, conscientes de la condicion humana, critica y solidaria con la sociedad, que sea incluyente de la diversidad, a favor de una cultura de paz, tolerante con la diferencia, que sea una actitud favorable al desarrollo y al progreso con equidad, justicia social **que honre lo propio**, decisiones oportunas, capacidad de resolver conflictos y sustentada en el dialogo para construir significados comunes que reconozcan la complejidad y pluralidad ambiental de las culturas."

I am not sure what this refers to - is it saying that the "actitud" honours its own??? Can't make sense of it.

Hm - maybe I've been hearing too many politicians, so in view of Susana's answer and considering the context a bit more, "which respects our heritage" might be more like it!
Peer comment(s):

agree mar52 : Justicia social es justa distribución de la riqueza (recursos) pero que debe respetar los derechos de los individuos. Un equilibrio para el desarrollo sustentable. Creo que sí estás bien orientada.

taking into account / privileging our heritage

I think this text was written in Chilean spanish, it sounds so familiar to me. "Lo propio" refers to our own culture and traditions, whaterver we consider belongs to our cultural identity, that is why I use heritage. On the other side, the context given by the previous sentence "desarrollo con equidad", implies to me that development must "take into account/ privilege heritage". Good luck.
