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.
