Learner Profiles
YOU ME EVERYONE
INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS
This is the new Microsoft logo.I will use this logo to demonstrate International Mindedness.
INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS
For a period of time, the world was viewed as simply as this. Each continent generally believed to be with like minded people who followed the same culture, traditions, beliefs and customs, within their own continent.
Americas Europe
Africa Asia

However, in reality, the real world is not like this due to various factors including migration, transportation and especially today, the internet.

And instead, live more like this?
INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS
Through understanding that people of different
backgrounds have different views, and we
should examine why they have them.
Its about having empathy and not just knowledge of
other people.
This is what leads to understanding and respecting another point of view, without
necessarily accepting it:
KNOWING WHERE IT CAME FROM
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE?

Learner Profiles
Learner Profiles are approaches to leading a good life, not just habits. Julian Edwards
Conclusion
We live in a global village, with people from different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs.
We need to rationalise what is true about the present, and mind in the sense of care enough for the future to dream up plausible alternatives and enact them.
Through our understanding of the Learner Profiles, can we truly understand and appreciate others, to become Internationally Minded people.
