International-mindedness by https://padlet.com/hytabby/csdv6gwfb0qd Yan Huan en-us 2018-08-25 00:54:56 UTC 2018-08-25 01:00:32 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Planets.png 1) What does international-mindedness mean to you? hytabby https://padlet.com/hytabby/csdv6gwfb0qd/wish/275286892 For me, international-mindedness is a macroscopic view, a spirit of cooperation. When faced with difficulties, I or my country is not alone, and we can seek help. When others or other countries encountered difficulties, we will lend a helping hand initiatively.]]> 2018-08-25 00:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hytabby/csdv6gwfb0qd/wish/275286892 2) What does it means to be a "global citizen"? hytabby https://padlet.com/hytabby/csdv6gwfb0qd/wish/275286917 To be a "global citizen" means that you have a responsibility to protect the environment of the earth. At the same time, you should realize that you are equal to everyone else in the world, but you still have your own personality.]]> 2018-08-25 00:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hytabby/csdv6gwfb0qd/wish/275286917 3) How do schools today prepare students for global citizenship within biology and other group 4 subjects? hytabby https://padlet.com/hytabby/csdv6gwfb0qd/wish/275286926 In Bio and ESS classes, we should discuss such topics as endangered species, environmental pollution and greenhouse effect. In Phy class, we can talk about the destructive effect of nuclear weapons, and the problem of nuclear pollution. In Chem class, we can investigate the methods to control chemical pollution. 

All these are aimed at preparing students for global citizenship.

If without wheat and onions from Central Asia. If without  watermelon and coffee from Africa, there would not be "A Bite of China".

When talk about immunisation, I will say: the modern medicine which was originated in Europe has saved many lives.

The Laws Of Mendelian Inheritance was rediscovered 35 years after its publication. Almost 3 scientists came to the same conclusion independently. A lot of resources and time have been wasted. 

Today, the information about one research result will be spread all over the world. That's why the technological progress is so rapid.

I direct students search and browse the websites of gene and protein database, introduce the human genome project.

Biologists from different countries share the data worked out by themselves and create the common wealth of mankind.
