Xenophobia” by Kevin Ting on 3/4
My Dear Blissers,
Welcome back since Feb.11!
Miss our intellectual and informative Bliss meetings?
That’s why this Saturday, we present you with “Xenophobia” by our senior distinguished Blisser, Kevin Ting!!!
According to the dictionary, “Xenophobia” means some people have extreme hatred or feel superior to other exclusive groups/region/race including their customs, religions or people themselves!
He is going to lead us to explore how it was originated, and then has been shaped into regional conflicts in the history!!!
Since “Xenophobia” has existed broader and longer than we think, we will leave the Theme Talk to the host, Kevin, during the warm-up session, right after self-introduction.
This Week’s Theme Talk:
Can you think of recent examples of” Xenophobia” in your country or in the world?
Theme talk: Those who join the meeting can prepare beforehand so as to answer it pinpointedly.
