Over the past 3 weeks of CID, I learnt many values. I have learnt more about how to construct, integrate and differentiate. In the second lesson, the teacher showed us pictures of two beggars. One beggar was a man holding a board which said he was homeless and broke and the other beggar was a woman holding a baby. We were told to choose who we would help of we could only help one of them. I chose to help the woman because the woman had a baby and I thought she needed my help more, the majority of the class also chose the same thing as me. However, after that, the teacher showed us their true background. The man had lost his arm and needed some money to get up on his feet again. The woman was holding a baby that was not hers but belonged to a association for beggars who use babies and small children to beg foreigners for money. Though she would only get a small cut of the money she begged, and the association would get the majority of the money, I think that it is still not acceptable because she was lying. Moreover, in the end, we would be helping the association and not the beggars. Therefore, after given a chance to change our first decision, the majority of the class changed their decision. From this lesson, I learnt that looks may be deceiving so we should not trust others so easily. I think in our life, people judge too much and they just assume a person's character by their actions and looks. However, a person does not show their true personality except for when they are people they are close with or when there is nobody around. Therefore, you can almost never know one's true character, thus we should not judge by looks. We should try understanding others and emphatise with them, not just treat them like you think they are.
