LOVE’S WORK: CULTIVATING RELATIONS WITH CARE 愛的功課:用心栽種關係
Module Synopsis
單元概要
We are living in different kinds of ‘relations’ and ‘love’ that underline our very sense of self and being. Yet when we are always pushing ourselves to finish different tasks every day, we have little time and proper state of mind to reflect on those relations we care, e.g. family, friendship, romantic love. It is our urgent existential task to be able to ‘craft’ a more reflective sense of relational self so that we are more able to love. In this course, students are expected to go into a journey of self-discovery to examine daily experience in relation to people they care about and develop a mutual support network with. They are expected to develop a better understanding of themselves and others, which is conducive to building caring relationships in different contexts. This course will introduce some general dynamics of social relations that might have positive or negative effects on oneself. Individual students would need to develop, monitor and evaluate a proposal of improving an identified relation they care about. More creative and multi-media approach to expressing their reflection on those efforts would be encouraged.
