respect / attention
'die Achtung' and 'die Berücksichtigung' are connected mainly in the fixed expression 'etwas außer Acht lassen' (to disregard something). In that case, it means not to pay attention to something or not to take it into consideration. 'Berücksichtigung', on the other hand, directly means that a point is included in a decision or plan. The words can be confused because both have to do with thinking about an important point. The important thing is: 'Achtung' is used here mostly in fixed expressions like 'außer Acht lassen' (to disregard). For actively including information, 'Berücksichtigung' is the more precise word.
