Blog Post #8

Blog Post #8

TODAY MY ENGLISH TEACHER QUOTED ME!!! Nah, not really, but she said the exact same words I said in the second last sentence of my Blog Post #1.

"But I think maybe we should all not be too quick to judge." 

So today wasnt really the start of lessons, it's still more of the introductory segment, so during english lesson, the teacher Ms S shared with us her expectations of the class through a video called "Six Blind Men and the Elephant" Check out the video!

Have you guys watched it before? Isnt it just interesting? I personally found it very interesting mostly because it's animated XD. And the narrator's voice is very nice, there's this unmistakable Indian accent that you can hear. So then the teacher asked what do we think after watching this video. A girl said,

"This shows us that things can be seen from many perspectives."

And she's correct. Well, partly, that's what the teacher said. She asked another girl to answer. And I found her answer quite similar to what I was planning to say (if the teacher calls on me). She said,

"What the video is trying to say is that everyone has different opinions and everyone's opinions are right. It's just a matter of perspective."

Yup and the teacher says she's correct again but now the teacher adds on more of her explanation. She said

"Sometimes when you girls approach a concept or theme, you all tend to have different approaches, different ideas and opinions and we should all not be too quick to condemn, like "Oh you are wrong! I'm right!". Honestly, there's no wrong or right. Some people just happen to see that angle to that concept and I think that we should all not be too quick to judge."

Not quite her exact words but somewhere along the line so it's still valid. So I hope you guys take away something from watching the video. Thank you for reading! :D
