today's classes
what a surprise!!!today..during my tutorial for gender issues... there was this discussions... not just on the 'WHAT' issues...which off course is usually the case...
the tutor went into the "WHY"...
1. why is there a perception that women are more likely to be able to read nonverbal cues (compared to men). for eg people examine pictures of people's faces or watching a videotape without hearing sound and are asked to decide what mood the person is.
then, there was an exchange of friendly arguements (gains vs lose, power control, incentive, taught emotive words,..as a matter of choice)
those terms were mentioned because a student was supporting his case from the ABILITY to do so...and just that...and then the tutor had to ask WHY then even if the guys have the ability to do that but CHOOSE NOT to do it.
this is just one eg.
i enjoy 'why's...
it's not that there is right or wrong...but sometimes that is the way it is.
perhaps God made us this way...authentic and unique in His sight
women compliment men...
then after that, there was a lecture on urban youth... as dr nair was speaking...i was thinking of the 'how do a social worker does that?' eg...how does a social worker deal with a family with incest/rape...'
ya,...
classes in uni are ought to be like these. mind triggering, challenging and exciting...
but off course these shouldn't be stressors. they just work our minds.
