The situation in Australia
Hello!Wed Aug 05, 2009 09:55 AM I have finished my Bachelors in Business Management and have applied for the MBA program at RMIT and Deakin University. The course starts off in Feb'10. I guess you must have heard about the whole racism scene happenin in Australia. I would like to know how serious this whole issue is there. Is it a wise option to take up this course with safety in mind. I am very apprehensive about going to Aus due to this matter. Awaiting a reply! Regards Vishal |

The situation in Australia
I assume you're referring to the attack in Melbourne a few months ago? I find that most disturbing, especially when seen in conjunction with the circumstances illuminated in Harvard and Cambridge due to a recent high-profile arrest.Wed Aug 05, 2009 12:18 PM Seems like educational institutions are becoming less and less havens for diversity. In my sadly narrow mind, I see this all through the lens of the global economic crisis - it seems like people are more willing to lash out violently against "the other" if they're not doing so well financially. Who knows if that's true or not. So as to your question about Australia - who knows? Newsweek's said that the recession is over so, you know, things might get better, I guess. Do you know anybody living there now you could speak with? |

The situation in Australia
I wouldn't say Australia is a dangerous place for a foreigner - these kind of things are happening all around the globe, especially in times of economic crisis. i think you shouldn't let this kind of thing disturb you - it always seems worse on T.V then it really is! Thu Aug 06, 2009 12:53 PM of course, one should also take care of himself, and see that he doesn't get into dangerous situations(i wouldn't start arguing with a drunk person, even if he is offending me, for example). but as i said, i think most Australians where also shocked by this, and don't agree in any way with such things. As for the quality of schools in Australia - well, that's already another subject...... |
