Understanding the Complexities of Being Human | Wong Yi Hao
September 14, 2021
“The interesting part of HSH1000 The Human Condition is that it is a hybrid module. It infuses some aspects of humanities into it. It is very different from what we learnt in secondary school and in junior college.” – Wong Yi Hao (Year 1, NUS Life Sciences)
Exposing students to some of the enduring concerns of humanity, The Human Condition module gives them the opportunity to study the issues through a critical and interdisciplinary lens – a highly valued skill for addressing today’s complex challenges. HSH1000 covers a range of selected texts by philosophers and statesmen such as the writings of Gandhi and the Epic of Gilgamesh, allowing students to gain a deeper appreciation of the multiple genres. Yi Hao finds the reading’s guiding questions useful as they help him to comprehend the story and learn better.
