Connecting to Self

Read the following and have a discussion on which of these are fair and ethical to laugh at and which are not. Why?

Accidental or embarrassing situations:
It is not fair and ethical to laugh at them. Because they involve physical and mention aspects of a person. They may be beyond his control at the moment.

Weird behaviour of animals and kids:
We can laugh at them. Because we don’t harm them physically or mentally.

Culture and religion:
It is not fair and ethical to laugh at other’s cultural values and religious beliefs. We must respect them. We must appreciate diversity for unity.

Funny pantomimes and stand up comedies:
We can laugh at them. They create fun. We don’t hurt them mentally by simply laughing.

Physical appearance:
It is not fair and ethical to laugh at the strange or abnormal physical appearance of a person. We must empathize and not laugh. We harm mentally by laughing at physical appearance.

Language and dialect:
It is not fair to laugh at the way a language or dialect is spoken. It is an identity. There is nothing to laugh at.

Humorous movies:
We can laugh watching humourous movies. There are funny dialogues or situations that create laughter. This kind of laughter is harmless.

Friendly imitation and mimicry:
We can laugh at them only if we ensure that it does not hurt one’s sentiments or beliefs.

Team Work Summary in English

The poet explained the true meaning of victory. He said that everyone wants to win, to be at the top. In that stress of being at the top, we did not see around and care about other people that are in our team. He states that it matters how we stand up as a team. Either we succeeded or defeated, it matters how we pull our team with us. The other people might judge you and praise you as a single, but you will win at that time when you care for your fellowmen and worked together as a team.

வெற்றியின் உண்மையான அர்த்தத்தை கவிஞர் விளக்கினார். ஒவ்வொருவரும் வெற்றி பெற விரும்புகிறார்கள். முதலிடத்தில் இருக்க வேண்டும் என்று கூறினர். மேலே இருக்கும் அந்த மன அழுத்தத்தில் நாங்கள் சுற்றிப் பார்க்கவில்லை. எங்கள் அணியில் உள்ள மற்றவர்களைப் பற்றியும் கவலைப்படாமல் இருக்கிறோம். ஒரு அணியாக நாம் எவ்வாறு எழுந்து நிற்கிறோம் என்பது முக்கியம் என்று அவர் கூறுகிறார். ஒன்று நாம் வெற்றி பெற்றோம் அல்லது தோற்கடிக்கப்பட்டோம், எங்களுடன் எங்கள் அணியை எவ்வாறு இழுக்கிறோம் என்பது முக்கியம். மற்றவர்கள் உங்களை தீர்ப்பளித்து, உங்களை தனியாக புகழ்ந்து பேசக்கூடும். ஆனால் நீங்கள் சக மனிதர்களை கவனித்து ஒரு அணியாக ஒன்றிணைந்து பணியாற்றிய நேரத்தில் நீங்கள் வெல்வீர்கள்.
