Final conclusions about the course

Final conclusions about the course

Firstly I must say that it was an interesting and eyes opening experience. For me it was a lecture out of my comfort zone. Mostly because I´m not a very open minded person. Secondly, I´m not very certain about my English – it´s a little sleepy. I understand everything perfectly, but I´m not very fluent in speaking. So, I had to listen, instead of talking. Also not my favourite thing to do. But very educational. 

About the course. Sadly, I had to miss lectures few times, but luckily I remember the lectures I was able to attend. My favourite lecture was the very first one, because of its message. The message was “Love – as the common ground of differences”. At that time, I wasn´t so sure about it. Now, being the part of the lecures and reading all the blogposts about the topics, I´m sure. My mind-set is much more open minded and my point of view about diversities is much more tolerant.

I have to say, that never before I have given deeper thoughts about the real meanings of definitions like morality, diversity, ethics, humour etc. But in this course, I had to take the time. Mostly because of the blogging issue. Most meaningful and evolutional, was not the writing, but reading the thoughts of other students. How they cope and understand the given definitions.

We have to agree, that the given themes are not very commonly argued. You just don’t argue about them in the sauna, around the Christmas table or at the working place. So, it was educational.

But let’s go back to love. You can´t define the meaning of love, but deep down we all know the soft meaning of that phrase. Sure, the phrase has a several meanings, but you can´t miss much by saying, that love also means caring. In turn, caring means understanding and understanding means accepting. Accepting and understanding are the fundamentals of healthy multicultural environment.

As a conclusion I learned that coping with ease at the multicultural environment, you don’t have to agree with everything, but it´s about the understanding of the differences and it’s much easier to do so, if you know the softer meaning of the word “Love”.
