Global-mindedness
As a Victorian, it means to have a mindset that is able to appreciate all the other cultures, traditions and history from various religions and countries.
- WHY?
Victorians have to be global-minded because as Victorians, we interact with people of different ethnic groups and background. For example, going on trips to other countries in order to learn and accept the way how others live and their customs. Therefore, it is very essential to be global-minded, as it is a good way to catch up with the world.
- HOW?
Being global-minded can be evident by showing that you care for other religious groups, in terms of helpfulness and also sharing the way how others interact and live is also a signal to show friends that I am global-minded. For example, during the camp, I was inspired by the different ethnic groups I interacted with so I shared to my peers about the daily activities they do and their lifestyle. Also, when there are no suggestions to complete a certain task, having a global-mindset would push me to my limits of my own way of doing things. Thus, I would use different methods, tactics and strategies to overcome obstacles.
- WHAT?
Firstly, it voices down to the person himself. It is his mindset, but this mindset can be fostered through different factors. The school programme is one of them. Having well organized school events like the camp can help develop this kind of mindset as some activities requires one to step out of one's comfort zone and use other methods to solve problems. Therefore, there are several factors to develop this kind of mindset.
- Comments:
A global- mindset is how one must change the way one solves problems when pushed to the limit and out of the comfort zone. Additionally, interacting with people of different ethnic backgrounds can be both inspirational and knowledgeable too.
