Humanistic Studies First Essay

        

                   First Humanistic Studies class impressed me much, it is unique as it relates with many thing. Learning multicultural and religious society will help us to learn, important aspects from various perspectives. Why could Javanese people and Sundanese  be so polite, why do these people have different ways to talk to their parents, friends, and relatives, even tough their life principles are different. We could also deduct moral values from different beliefs and cultures. Then teacher would learn students thoughts and personality easier from their social background.

            By finishing this lesson I hope I could grasp ideas I had never learnt before. Spend your hours for genuinely understand other people perspective show that you respect what they said and care for them as a human (Sharma, 1999).  As a human being we cannot live without others, being open minded is a good way to realize what we have missed and forgotten in our life journey. It is also one simple way for teachers to indirectly tell their pupils how much we care. In learning activities we could hold sharing sessions, group discussion or freely accept our students for individual counseling.

            Before knowing another people cultures and beliefs, I do look forward to knowing myself better as an individual, I find it interesting while looking at the course map. No one could understand another without understand themselves first. With upcoming sessions at Humanistic Study class I wish I could known myself better.

            Retrospect to my previous experience, I did and always would respect another  who has a lot of difference from me. There is nothing wrong to be different. I always have many friends with different cultures and beliefs, but that fact does not bother me at all. I respect them exactly as the same as one who has the same culture and belief with me. Being different makes life becomes more interesting.

            Everyone who entered your life has one lesson to teach and one story to tell. Everyone who you will find and garnish your days, give you a symbol that there is an opportunity to show your sympathy and politeness to explicit your humanity (Sharma). I believed there is blessing behind those differences between us. Everyone come with different nationalities, cultures, and beliefs. Differences taught people to respect one another, giving them wisdom, sympathy, and patience in order to make them a better person.
