Lockdown Reflections in Week 4 at Level 4

By Anonymous

We shared our thoughts about lockdown with a focus on what we are grateful for and identifying ways we could improve our wellbeing. We did this as a writing task where we group ideas into paragraphs.

They ranged from things like sleeping in to working from a comfortable couch to spending quality time with family. It seems that many student's families have kept routines in place which I believe contributes to their resilience in this lockdown.

I was embarrassed that I had made a mistake which is one of the pitfalls of cross-cultural analysis. There are always positive outcomes for every situation and we were able to have a discussion about where the symbol may have originated. Another positive outcome is that I am extremely aware of my cultural limitations. So this will result in me asking more questions, seeking more input from experts in our class and in the community. As you can see, I was not confident enough in what I found on the internet to use it in my blog title. An opportunity for further learning. One of the challenges this week is to; LEARN - the signs o...
