My ExperienceThe need for a globally competent world is great. As individuals we need to be aware that there are other perspectives other than our own. We also need to be aware of how we live our lives effects the world that we share with other individuals.
It has come to my attention that people are becoming self centered in this material driven society. I have tried to avoid this from happening to myself my placing myself in situations outside of my comfort zone. I do this specifically by travelling. I am an avid traveler. I love it. I feel that it allows me to open my mind to so many new things. Just being in another place, allows your to analyze your own culture and learn the customs of the place you are in. I have visit Europe, The Middle East, and Mexico. Everytime, I try to learn a new way of thinking. I hope that as a future teacher, I can bring my knowledge of other countries into the classroom and use this to promote globally aware and competent students. |
I chose this video as it expresses the importance of teachers having a global perspective.
