Why is equality such an important issue?

-Gender equality has always been a problem. Although it has been improved a lot, it still has not changed the thinking of some people’s gender inequality. Women and girls occupy half of the world’s population and therefore also the world’s potential
half of the force. But nowadays, gender inequality is widespread, and it can stagnate social progress. Gender equality can bring economic development, promote development, and the process of achieving gender equality is also a process of human social progress.

In terms of group nature, it is a fact that men are stronger than women because women have worse physical strength than men and are less aggressive than men. This is physiologically determined, not prejudice. Just because of a person’s gender, they will be treated unfairly, and this unfairness is more serious for women.

In terms of values, justice is our ultimate pursuit. Equal treatment is not equal to justice. If only men and women’s toilets are set in the same place, women’s toilets have to be lined up. This is not equal. In the case of equality, when men and women have the same amount of food in the famine, men are hungry, which is not fair. Equality is not justice. We can never stop at equality and give up our efforts in the direction of justice.

Service-Music with SGM children-reflection(LO7)

Music for All with SGM Murni is a service that connects the child and us together, we go there as kids’ friends and teacher to play with them with music. The children there are very cute, this service has been going on for quite a long time, the bond between us and the children is getting deeper, and they are looking forward to our arrival every Monday. Usually, we use a computer or mobile phone to connect to a Bluetooth speaker to play music for them, and sing and dance or play games with them while playing music.

The first few times we went there, the first thing that we did was an active atmosphere, such as “head, shoulder, knees and toes” to attract children’s attention, and then sing and dance with them.  Last time we played “grab a chair”, there was music while the play and kids were standing between several chairs. When the music stopped, they should go to a stool, otherwise, they would lose the game. Children have a strong desire to win or lose, but some children are unhappy because they lose the game.
