  • To be appreciative and respectful towards the diversity of cultures,ideologies and opinions we all have to offer.
  • The world is such a huge place but still each of us have different opinions. We all see things differently, yet international mindedness sews us together in the mutual respect towards each other and all.

  • By examining contributions from scientists,philosophers,educationists,mathematicians who keep on adding to the diverse field of Biology and other subjects. 
  • How it is not confined to one person or race or culture and i how overtime the information evolved and things we are aware of today (Laws of inheritance,evolution, cures to different diseases) is a result of communication and collaborative work.
  • Discussing global issues like climate change, poverty, world hunger and how we as global citizens have a responsibility to come up with solutions and ways in helping the world community.

  • Any new discovery in science doesn't have localized effects.For example a cure for AIDS will have worldwide effects.
  • Discussing bioethics benefited my students with a wider perspective for example right to abortion, euthanasia invitro fertilization and the ethics involved.

  • Biology is not something confined to just one culture  or one race. 
  • In order to deal with world issues like poverty.hunger, desertification,climate change ,overpopulation.We cannot fight these issues alone or cannot be blind eyed towards them either that if it doesn't effect us it doesn't exist.
  • we collaborative efforts and an international understanding to cater these issues.
