TEDxUTARKampar

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Life

Took placeNovember 18, 2018
LocationKampar, Perak, Malaysia
FormatUniversity
The university community has been putting emphasis on interdisciplinary research and learning. We embrace interdisciplinary studies in the academic world, as diversity enhances creativity. It encourages the search for novel information and perspectives, leading to better decision making and problem solving. However, are we also leading a multidisciplinary life? We live in a world where billions of people exist together and have the advantage of technology to be connected and learn anything they want from the others. The diversity of occupation, expertise, life experience, religion, race, gender, culture etc., are things that are bound to be different from person to person that we meet. When people are brought together to solve problems in groups, they bring different information, opinions and perspectives. This makes obvious sense when we talk about diversity of disciplinary backgrounds—think again of the interdisciplinary team building a car. Now is the time to embrace this diversity, and encourage people to step out of their own discipline, profession or comfort zone, and experience the positive influence of informational diversity.
