Enrichment Workshop

This enrichment workshop was interesting at times. I thought it was longer than it needed to be. It was unnecessary to have the panelist. I didn’t see their function at all in the whole discussion. Stan Altman, the moderator, and Charles N. Li had a very interesting discussion about reality and identity. Mr. Altman talked about how the difference between a dog’s reality and a human’s reality can result in the dog saving the human’s life. Mr. Li talked mainly about how a person can be good or evil. Identity is an indefinite thing and it changes along with culture and time. He struggled to find his own existence when he was a young child living in China. The most interesting point that was brought up was the difference in philosophy between East Asia and the West which is that people in the West are born without the question of identity. This leads to them pursing their desires.  Overall, I gained some knowledge through the moderator and Mr. Li.
