3F: Isaac Chin (6)

  1. Due to rapidly changing class environment, Victorians must learn how to be global-minded, so as to effectively communicate and learn more about the world around them through learning about others' cultural practices and background. Also in the process, Victorians will learn to appreciate about and understand more about the world that they live in. After all, we must learn to keep up with the rapid pace of our ever changing society.  
  2. Although I have never been to other countries except for my neighboring country-Malaysia, I have tried to be more aware global-minded by for example food prepared by other races in my country and learn to play their games, for example five stones. I also watch the news often to know the latest news about whats is happening in other countries.
  3. I think education and living environment best fosters the development of global mindedness in a person. For education, I strongly feel that when one learns about the importance of being global minded through programmes, he will strive towards being globally aware himself. As for experience, I myself have learnt how to life along harmoniously with other ethnic groups and thus also know more about their cultures.
  4. With regards to this statement, i definitely do agree. The first four lines of the comment is closely similar to my ideas for the first three answers. As for the last line of the comment, I agree with that statement too. When we have a global mindset, we can also view culture and other countries as an opportunity to adopt good habits and cultivate good ideas, improving ourselves.
