1. It is important for every Victoria to be global-minded so that we will know more about the cultures and traditions of others. In this way, we can be sensitive to their feelings and not disrespect or insult them or their behaviour unknowingly. We can also expand our circle of friends by adding these people to it and also gain more friends of other cultures by understanding their ways. For example, by understanding the Chinese scholars' ways we can interact and communicate with them more easily.

2. I am being global-minded when I speak to the Chinese scholars, while respecting their culture and not saying anything insensitive. I am also being global-minded when I go to other countries, for example during overseas exchange programs or school camps, when I speak to the locals, in a different way than I would speak to Singaporeans.

3. I think the aforementioned school camps and overseas exchange programs help to foster the development of global-mindedness in a person. For example, the Cambridge exchange program, organised by the school, that is due to be held at the end of this year would help us understand the English people better, while the various China exchange programs would help us understand and make friends with the Chinese scholars much more easily. In addition to that, events such as International Friendship Day, which is celebrated by many countries including Singapore, helps to foster the development of global-mindedness in a person too, by teaching us about the various cultures around the world and improving our interpersonal skills.

4. Briefly comment on the comment -

                         "A global mindset combines an openness to and awareness

                   of diversity    across cultures.  It respects how different countries

                  do things and has the imagination to appreciate why other cultures

                  do them that way. But, a global mindset is also incisive — to push the

                  limits of one's own way of doing things."

I agree with this statement. Global-mindedness is the acceptance of other cultures around us and the fact that we have to respect and appreciate these cultures no matter how different they may be. In addition to that, we should learn something from these cultures, for example how to do something in another way and strive to improve ourselves, while not thinking that only your approach to something is right and try other cultures' approaches.

1.            Being global-minded allow us to be aware of our surroundings and of the different cultures and religions of various individuals. At the same time, we should learn how to respect their religion and culture however weird it is. The vision of Victoria School is to teach each Victorian to be a Gentlemen, Sportsmen and Professional. In order to be a gentlemen and a professional, we must be global minded to ensure that we are able to communicate with scholars from different countries and also respect our classmates with different backgrounds and cultures more easily. Global-mindedness is also one of Victoria School's core values. So, it is very important for us to make sure that we are global-minded at all times. Being global-minded allow is to make friends with people from other nations easily. Being global-minded is an important value that would be very useful for us especially when we are working in the future as we are able to communicate and easily make friends with people of different backgrounds, religion and cultures.

 

 

2.            One example where the global-mindedness in me could be evident to my friends is when I communicate with the China scholars. This shows that I am able to respect their cultures and lifestyles. Thus, this action would allow us to form a strong friendship regardless of our different backgrounds. Global-mindedness would also be a very useful skill when we go for overseas learning journey as we are better able to communicate with the locals at that country and form friendships with much ease.

 

 

3.            The development of global-mindedness in a person is best fostered by the school programmers such as school camps where we go overseas to Malaysia for camping purposes. The school also organizes overseas exchange trips with schools in China and this is something that is very important in helping us be more aware of the lifestyles and cultures of the various types of people there. This would help us interact with our China scholars with more ease as we are able to understand their lifestyle better. However, as Victorians, we should also take some initiative to interact with our classmates especially the China scholars. This is turn, would allows us to bond better as a class.

 

 

4.            It is important for us to be determined to be global-minded before we can actually foster global-mindedness in ourselves. If we are just being global-minded for the sake of it, it would be very difficult to communicate with others and form friendships with each other. Friendships are formed as we understand each other and respect each other's culture, lifestyles and religions. Global mindedness also helps us to grow in body, mind and soul and in the process, be a much better, courteous and compassionate guy. Thus, global-mindedness is a very important skill that helps one to be a much better and easy-going person in the future.
