Week 9_Live In
What is ‘Live In’? ‘Live In’ is a program
for people who live in a city; where we go far away from home, usually is a
small village and stay with local people in a specific time. The purpose is to
learn the way they live so that we can be more grateful and always has good respect
to each other. Every year, social gap is increasing and nowadays there is a
huge gap between the poor and the rich. It also getting worse because there are
a lot of people that too busy with their own business and almost forget everything
that is much more important than money: family, moral, culture, etiquette and ethic.
One of the ways to overcome this problem is participate in Live In program.
There are a lot schools or universities do this program. Schools and
universities want to help their younger generation to open their mind and show
the real life. If you really participate in Live In program, you can learn so
many things. This can be learnt if we are modest, want to learn and open your
mind.
