Monthly seminars held this winter

There were couple of seminars this winter: Sociolinguistics for EFL teachers, run by Phillip Hains (Peace Corps Volunteer) and Justice:  A Journey in Moral Reasoning, hosted by Rebecca Gong (Peace Corps Volunteer). Although there were not many attendees but both seminars introduced some fascinating ideas. E.g. what the reasons are of close and loose relationship with people; who the people are that you have loose relationship and why? These very questions were discussed with Phillip.

And there were hot debates on the attitude of authorities, family to some personal problems or even tragic situations. There was an idea that if a person who is involved into tragedy is familiar to you or identified then you would do your best to safe him/her. But if you treat people like a crowd then you would consider them like a mess not very important matter. And there's a chance that the crowd would be sacrified for the sake of the country. Would you agree? These questions were discussed with Becca! join us at the conference where we would continue this discussion!
