This course aims to enable students to develop a thorough understanding about cultural issues. In this course students will be able

1. to compare and contrast different cultures to their own culture and how different cultures deal with a variety of life phenomena. On the one hand, the understanding of differences between cultures will help students to broaden their perspectives; on the other hand, such an understanding will help to bridge the cultural gap and clearing up stereotypes and misunderstandings
2.  to develop a thorough understanding and integration through in-depth discussion on literature and social phenomena.   
3.  to develop introspection about respect, empathy and tolerance, through  the  understanding of multi-faceted culture. Through dialogues and debates over a variety of issues, (historical vs. contemporary, local vs. global) they will be able to break tangible/intangible cultural boundaries, expand their viewpoints, and hence cultivate them to become people of glocalisedperspectives.
