1)      It is very relevant for every Victorian to be global-minded as we are in a school where there are people amongst us that are from other part of this world. Therefore, it is essential for us to be aware or their cultures, religions and practices so that we can understand them better to facilitate better communication and interacting amongst us.

2)      I personally have a friend from Taiwan and he tells me a lot about their culture and practices about what he does during certain occasions. I also shared with him about some things that may be practiced differently in Singapore when compared with what he usually does in Taiwan. By doing so, I hoped that we would foster better friendship and know more about him.

3)      I personally feel that the environment best fosters the development of global-mindedness in a person. As in a school where there are all sorts of people from Thailand to Taiwan, I am exposed to all these people and they can share with me all sorts of things they usually do from hobbies to traditions.

4)      I strongly agree with this comment. As having a global mindset indeed expose us to a huge variety of cultures, traditions etc and it then teaches us the different things in which people do in a different manner.

1) Every Victorian would experience the change of class when they promote to higher levels hence Victorians must learn how to be global-minded. With the change or environment, we need to adapt and develop ourselves even though we are in the different surround and being global-minded would aid us to adapt. When we are global-minded communication between others would be easier and we would learn more about the world around us through learning about others' cultural practices and background.

 

2) I have been to other countries before such as Korea and i learnt a lot about the culture and tradition for the Koreans which is very different from the culture and tradition in Singapore. For instance in Korea, they have a delicacy called the "Kimchi". Watching the news also make me more global-minded by knowing what is happening around the world and locally.

 

3) I feel that the environtment best fosters the global-mindedness in a person. If i am placed in a environment where global-mindedness is being stressed a lot, i would know the importance of being global-minded.

 

4) I think that the comment is very true mentioning about "global mindset combines an openness to and awareness

of diversity across cultures." The comment shows the concept and main point of global mindedness.

The picture was taken during the YOG Zimbabwe delegation's visit to Victoria School in 2010.

Q1) It is relevant for every Victorian to be global-minded as it will help us to understand what is happening in the world and how we can help others.

Q2) Global-mindedness can be evident by making friends with other people of different races and cultures, learning about their differences from us, such as clothing, food and celebrations.

Q3) I think the overseas camps organised by our school are very helpful in fostering the development of global-mindedness as we can see how other people's style of living are like and also experience their living conditions.

Q4) I think that this comment is meaningful and I agree with it as with a global-mindset, we can improve our own way of doing things by learning other people's way of doing things.

1) Every Victorian should be Global Minded so as to be able to accept new perspectives that differ from their current and explore different places and people as they have the sense of willingness to do so.

2) Global Mindedness can be practiced by understanding different cultures and ways of customs of the different races/religions in school. However, one can take a step further by learning more about a different ethnic group and discovering their tradition. For example, the Malays may study more about the customs of the Chinese such as their games, traditional clothing and food.

3) In my opinion, overseas camps that are organised by the school are most effective in fostering the development of global mindedness as it helps to expose Victorians to a different way of life, unlike the normal school life. For example, in the Sec 2 and 3 camps, we set up tents and slept outdoors, earning new experiences. In addition to that, we explored the lives of people at the particular area, learning their traditions and customs, and thus, be more global-minded

4) I agree to the statement above as being global minded refers to one's ability to accept different customs and perspectives. Furthermore, the second last line truly explains the deeper meaning of a global mindset and its uses/benefits in life, in this case, to make someone more successful as the particular person as he/she is able to adopt different ways/initiatives to solve issues and thus, making the person more efficient.
