 In module 42, we will discuss intellectual diversity and academic professionalism. Intellectual diversity is a natural phenomenon. Everyone has their own intellectual diversity. One is different from other one on the basis of not only the height or the color or the physical structure, but on the intellect. Therefore, in the professional field, the teacher is supposed to have the understanding, have the respect to the intellectual freedom and intellectual rights. And in this way, he should be encouraging to the exploration of the variety of the ideological, political perspective of an individual or in a system. And teaching like other professions, law and medicine and the business is also an academic field. And as an academic, as a professional field, and in the professional field, as an academic, academics are in the professional field of the teaching and they have, being the professional, they have the responsibility in a different way. Number one or the first is to master the field and other one is the responsibility to the tradition of the inquiry, means in the research, means in the exploration, means to investigate further. Therefore, the obligation are what is the greatest in the field, means what kind of the knowledge available in the field and what methods of the inquiry are there to be followed for further knowledge. Academic inquiry is related with the intellectual diversity. It is directly linked with the diversity of the one's capabilities from the others. One should be recognizing the other's diversity, diversity not in terms only in the culture, in terms of the language, in terms of one's religion, etc. But in the thought, in the philosophy, in the intellectual level, in the intellect, he has to respect this one. And that is based on the constituent, constituted the essence of the profession since its beginning. And we should respect and protect the tradition of an individual tradition of the knowledge or the background of the individual. On the basis of this, we can say that there is the variety of an individual, variety of the intellectual diversity of the intellect because of the thoughts and ideas, because of the hypothesis and the conjectures, proposals and the arguments and the criticism and the counter arguments, etc. What is the underpinning of intellectual diversity? How can we explore? How can we underpin? How can we disclose one's intellectual diversity? We should respect the questioning. We should respect the argument. We should respect the cross-questioning. And we should respect, we should judge the argument on the merit, not on the personal voices or the personal preferences and not on the personal interests, etc. We can say on this basis of these discussions that the people have different kind of the skills and different kind of the knowledge, different kind of the culture, etc. They have their own way of the investigation of the things. They can investigate by one or other way. And if the situation or if an individual, if the teacher permits them to investigation, because that as a tradition, if you look at the history that those people who were investigators or the researchers were not appreciated by the rulers. If you look at the old history of the nations that those who were the investigators were not permitted. So now the time has come that the intellectual diversity, intellectual rights or the identification of individual should be explored, should be appreciated, should be responded. And this is based on the questions and the cross-questions. And on that way, one can arrive at the varied or the different conclusions. And for that diversity, intellectual diversity, cultural diversity, here we are talking about the intellectual diversity. Diversity is the only what generates intellectual vitality. Because of the diversity, you can create new ideas, new thinking, you can practice new ideas and new thinking. And in this way, we should respect the intellectual diversity as in professional academics, otherwise new knowledge and new thinking patterns would not be respected in the classroom and new knowledge would not be available because of this discouragement. Therefore, teaching as a profession, teacher should have knowledge, teacher should acquire knowledge to appreciate intellectual diversity. If this was not appreciated, then the learners or the students of as a teacher would have not been crossing the levels or the stretchers of the teachers. Those professional teachers are considered as the respectable teachers. Those who respect the individual's competencies, individual's diversified intellect, you can't, as a natural phenomena, you can't bring someone, the person with the high intellect at par with the lower intellect or the media care level. So, one has to increase the or address the level of the lower level of the intellect and try to increase and try to appreciate and try to motivate. And as far as the high level of the intellect is concerned, that should be respected in terms of in-depth knowledge and in terms of the approaches of the investigation and the research.
