Friday, 23rd September 2011 was my first day having Humanistic Study class. At first, I was wonder what will it be. Humanistic is come from human, so that I assumed that it will talk more about human and all the things related. My assumption is right. In here we will discuss about human, specific on individual, cultural animal and homo religious. Cultural animal was out of my mind that relates to the study of human.
First meeting was opened simply. Usually, in the first meeting of the semester lecturer will have introducing session. My lecturer, Pak Hatim had not it. This is the first time of some of my friends and I taught by him. He said that knowing name and further about one another is one of the main objectives of this course. Even though we had no introducing time, we already have known each for a year.
Considered Pak Hatim`s statement about knowing further about each other and meaning of our name given by our parents is, I become so curious. What is the meaning of my name. My parents have told me that my name means the first daughter who will be the first in everywhere, in other word let`s say be the best of every single thing. Well, whether it is true or not, let me approve that by the time going of this course.
In the first meeting, we also discussed about religion. Our lecturer asked us if we are true as Muslims or Christians. He said that are Muslims or Christians because of our parents` religion?. Suddenly I was silent and no more idea to say. Considered my knowledge about Islam is still low. Hopefully by the end of this course I will know more about me myself further. Honestly, I am still looking for about myself or usually called “mencari jati diri”.
Talking about religion is sensitive according to me. . I live with my friends who are Christians.Until now, we live in a peace. It is because of our respect to each other. Differences are needed in our life, because it will complete each of us and make our life colorful.In this course we will talk about it frequently. Hope it will not make us fight one another because of the difference perspective. As I know different perspective is common in a discussion. When Pak Hatim handed a questionnaire, the last question is about our expectation after this course, I wrote that I hope my class will still live in peace.
I also asked about the relation between humanistic study and teaching learning. Then my lecturer told me that at school we will meet students from different culture, so we need to know how to face that difference by learning this course so that the learning process will run well. That is all about the story of first meeting in the first meeting of Humanistic study. See you in the next reflection.
DIFFERENCE IS COMMON

Good posting Ika
You said "Talking about religion is sensitive" why? Do you think that if we avoid to talk about religion it will reduce many problems among religions?
what I meant here is, it depends on the topic we discuss and whom we talk to. Honestly, I have no idea talking about religion.
