1) Global-mindedness is about understanding other culltures and appreciating how they do things. If global-mindedness isn't present, Victorians my have a difficult time working with people from other parts of the world. Its helps to keep you connected with the rest of the world, and may also help to strengthen ties between people from different countries. Hence, global-mindedness must be present in every Victorian.
2) Global-mindedness helps to make communication with people form other parts of the world a whole lot easier. For example, because we have Chinese scholars in our class, I can learn more about their culture, and how they do things back home, so that not only will I expand my knowledge about the things around me, but also help them to adapt into the busy SIngapore lifestyle here.
3) I believe school programmes and the environment help to foster the development of global mindedness. Through all the school programmes like camps, we locals will be able to bond well with our foreign classmates, and what they do back at home. For example, during the Secondary 3 campfire night, we watched them perform Taiji, and just from that performance, we learnt a lot. Also, the multi-racial environment in Singapore allows us to be able to mix with people from other races, hence fostering global mindedness.
4) I agree with this comment, as global mindedness does help us to respect what the other cultures do, and also learn to appreciate the way they do them. Through this, we are pushed out of our comfort zone, and our own limits of the way we do things will be push, then will we be free to take a new step higher, and take ourselves to greater heights. This is why a global mindset is so essential.
