This lesson was very interesting because we were looking at the politici at 2 different country's. Germany and France have failed the multiculturalism. This is because they always look from one side i think, they blame one group of people but they do
not search for a solution. What Angela Merkel and Sarkozy wanted to say
is that the different groups of people in there country don't have a
common thing.
I think that much people criticize the Mulslims. Oke they have a other religion, oke they have a other opinion over life, but we need to look at ourself. What the biggest problem is that we always think that someone else did it, we not blame ourself but we blame others.
As a European teacher I think multiculturalism develops us as a
person and a society. It is a benefit to learn about different cultures.
We have to take an open attitude towards people and not live in our
world.
This week we went to Antwerp city and with city i really mean al the streets or neighbourhood. This was a chance to see things that we never saw. I went to a place were people help people that live on the street, this was for me one of the lightpoints from the trip. there are so many bad things in the world but there are always people that help the others.
I can give you the advice, help the poor and help who need it and you feel yourself much better. Helping somebody else does miracles.
During the first lesson we were discussing what's the different is
between multicultural, intercultural and international.
Multicutural means that there are different groups of people in the
same country, these groups have there own opinion. For example : In
belgium are so much different nationalities but they have all there own
opinion and different lifestyles.
Intercultural means that there is one group with there own culture
against others cultures in one country. Intercultural communication does
not always work. Look at the world, there is always a fight for
something that 2 groups are not agree with eachother.
International means that in one country there are people with the
same culture but they have also there own opinion. In belgium you can
see this in the political crises that we have now, there is a sort of
wall against the flemish and the walloons. But there is also a
connection and that is the link that we need to find for a good
solution.
