About Me

Hi everyone!

My name is Thu, I’m a 22-year-old Vietnamese who is now a student from the University of Bremen. I am an open-minded, humorous, sociable and emotional individual; a fair, creative mind; a global citizen. I am extremely passionate about discovering different cultures. It is so fascinating to see people from everywhere in the world gather in one place and share different opinions and personal experiences. There is nothing more exciting than being at a table with Chicken Tikka Masala, Schnitzel, Pho, Tacos, Tajine…Because it is the moment I acknowledge that not everyone uses chopsticks and eat rice three times a day like I used to do.

I look, observe and respect diversity. I take what I consider beautiful from each culture I encountered, learn from them and sharpen my personality. I stand for justice and fight against discrimination, racism and negative stereotypes. All these characteristics have driven me to the decision of taking cultural studies as my main subject for my bachelor program. 

My project is called „Cultural Diversity & The Youth„. To get a clear overview of the project, you can have a glance at this link. With this project, I have clear, positive goals for myself. I’m looking forward to getting into what actually „Storytelling“ and the goals of it are, how to carry out scientific research, how to use scientific methods on my products and how to make my scientific project interesting and attractive to the audiences. 

You can contact me via my university e-mail: thu@uni-bremen.de or via LinkedIn.

About My Topic

Link to video: DEFINE CULTURE IN ONE WORD

7 people, 7 different words have been used to describe the term „culture“. Everyone has his or her own word to define culture. Even when people might use the same word for their interpretation, the explanation varies from person to person. It is because everybody was born, raised, educated differently, and therefore have various beliefs, perceptions, and ideologies. I call it diversity.

Cultural diversity has always been a popular topic throughout history. To its simplest definition, when different cultural groups exist in a society, cultural diversity will be formed. When different groups come into contact with each other, we recognize differences, compare and contrast our respective cultural traditions.

With this project, I aim to bring my audience a closer look at what cultural diversity means for young people, especially students from 20-25 years old who are currently studying in Germany, regardless of their races, genders, nationalities, marital status, etc. Furthermore, the blog will focus on which positive impacts cultural diversity brings to the youth, how young people have changed by interacting with various cultures, and which ideas they have in mind about how cultural diversity positively influences society.
