It is my first time learns about the whole part of human life. When you are talking about human, you will think from some aspects such as human as an individual, part of society, multicultural and the diversity of religion. I think this lesson is interesting because I could learn about human life through this lesson. One person to another is quietly different. Even they come up from the same ethnicity but their language and religion could be different. So that’s why I want to know more about those differences in this lesson. What is the effect of those differences in human life? And how the culture and religion change the human life? I really want to have the answers of those questions. I wish I could realize that differences is beautiful, you have to care and know each other. You can put yourself well in a society. Talk about human as an individual, you have to know about your name’s meaning because there is something special behind that but actually I do not know what is the meaning of my name, what I know just my name had been changed 3 times.
Differences are important. If you just found everything in your life are the same you will feel bored. Take an example: at SSE, the members are from different town, ethnicity and religion. If you just find someone who is from the same ethnicity and religion with you, you will no longer know about others who are different. You will only talk about you without know what are they (who come from different ethnicity and religion) doing out there, what is their habit, do we have any similarities. You will not realize that having different friends is nice. You can learn many things from them. You have such a sharing about you and them. That really adds your information.
I just feel my experience about having friends from different ethnicity and religion in SSE. Actually I have such those different friends in my time before but I just feel different here. I can learn about other region, start from the languages, the habit and then what is unique from that. As many as languages you know it will helps you. If you go to a region without know about that region first you will feel like a strange person and useless. I ever went to a town in Central Java but I do not know the language itself and the society’s habit. I felt so strange. I did not know what they were talking about and what did they mean when they were having an activity. I cannot be myself who like to talk and doing everything. I just keep silent. That’s really bad experience. Now, talking about religion I feel happy by having friends from different religion because sometimes they are more respectful than those who have same religion. When we are having discussion outside the class then they will remain us that are time for you to pray. I could know about their religion and sometime we have like a sharing and talking about our religion.
I agree that "differences are important". The question is how to manage the diversity, it is important because diversity often provokes violence and discrimination.
ReplyDeleteYou also have good understanding and experience dealing with the diversity. So, please actively participate in our class do the best
Thank you so much for the feedback Pak. Both of us agree that "differences are important". The way to manage the diversity are by having them to face each other, as many as they have contact and socialization,they will know and understand each other. May be they can share about their own culture and religion. The main point is, you have to have open mind to another who are different with you. Do not ever judge that them are bad and you are the best.
