It Is Never My Problem, It Definitely Is Their Problem

I remember sharing this with my Team Communications module tutor, Ms Brenda, during a discussion.

At that moment, it struck me. Is this statement a hint of my individual selfishness? Or is this a reflection of my nation's culture?

In my context, I pay more than $5,000 of school fees every year. Is is substantial amount of money, considering that $5,000 could pay for months of household expenses in the family.

Is it right that I have to take the initiative to make changes in my institute? Or should the institute that I paid to, be responsible to ensure that I study in the most conducive environment?

Is it right that I have put up with boring lecturers and tutors, whom teaching I will take ages to comprehend? Or should the institute that took my $5,000, change that to ensure that I study in the most conducive environment, again?

However, think about it. How many other students in the institute out there have the same demands? The population is definitely not 1. Who then pays for our dear lecturers who have spent half of their life on the teachings they try to pass on to us?

In a nutshell, there are many perspectives to a problem. Quoting from Ms Brenda, eliminate the "iSpeak", and you will definitely benefit in the long run. Maybe not physically, but at least morally.

No videos or multimedia for this post. Too tired from school to source for one. :)
