Message from the Director of the Global Center
Dignity of self and respect for others are important attitudes when confronting others in cross-cultural and multifaceted learning. Through exchanging opinions, we engage in mutual criticism to explore the relative position of our own opinions. The purpose of mutual criticism is not to negate others’ opinions and assert the legitimacy of one’s own opinion, but to acknowledge where one stands relative to others by respecting others and where they stand. In other words, acknowledging others and acknowledging oneself are mutually complementary.
While learning from multiple perspectives and acknowledging the dignity of self and others, try to engage in thorough discussion and collaboration with diverse counterparts. If you do so, you will surely find learning and joy that you cannot get only on campus!
