About This Course

In this course, we will be exploring the internationally shared values and beliefs of Universal Culture and how different cultures interact with each other globally. We will examine how rapid developments in Global Media, Tourism and Migration have transformed how we live our daily lives and how this has affected how we view ourselves and others. We will evaluate how these universal values and beliefs modify cultures’ visions of future sustainable development.

Part of the Moral Education curriculum, this course seeks to foster in students a set of universal values, which will enable them to peacefully interact and connect with people from different cultural and social groups who hold different views and perspectives. It seeks to empower them to become active, responsible, local and global citizens. It enables them to develop mutual understanding, respect for difference and empathy in order to sustain our cohesive and prosperous society. Through dialogue and interaction, students are provided with opportunities to explore different worldviews, to challenge one another's assumptions and attitudes and to develop the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to think critically, to make informed ethical decisions and to act on them in the interests of their society.
