  1. Diversity and You

(Group discussion)

  1. Do you believe there is only one right way of doing things ( or do you allow for other valid ways) why ?

First , we will talk about what is the right way in doing things. You can call whether it is right or wrong when the action can be accepted in the society. It is impossible to believe that there is only one right way of doing things because we as the human come from different cultures and backgrounds , which are creating different ways of thinking and perceptions about how something should be happened or solved in the right way. Right is relative, it still depends on the environment. For example, people in Korea can drink alcohol stuff because they need it for survive in the cold weather, but in indonesia we are prohibited to drinl alcohol. The environment condition forces the people in Korea to drink alcohol, so they do the right things. The different culture and background also create the diversity between us. For example, the way of speaking. Our country, Indonesia, has so many mother tongues, which show that diversity is always with us. But, how we can handle this diversity ? we must grow tolerance between others. Tolerance comes from latin “tolerare” which means “willingness for people to do”. In the bigger understanding, we can call it as “respect each other”. We can not refuse the flow of differences, so we just need to tolerate it, accept the differences as the part of our life, and try to decide whether it is wrong or right based on the society sight.

  1. Do you have honest relationships with each other ? (5 examples)

Communcation can make or break a relationship. The more open and connected the dialogue, the healthier a relationship tends to be. Honest relationship make a positive value in our diversity environment.

How to create a honest relationship ?

  • Speak the truth, as much as we can, with clarity, love, and gentleness.When we dodge the truth out of fear for how it will be received, we only build bigger walls in our relationship.
  • In the communication, always reinforcing the strength of our connection , no matter the response from others.
  • Take the responsibility in the relationship. We have our own control of the way we communicate with the society. Show that we are exist here not for facing problems individually, but we can solve the problems with any help from others.

Example of honest relationship:

1. Make new friends without intentions veiled. It means we made friends with someone else really because we want to be friends with that person not because we want to make use of them for a specific purpose or advantage.
