AMERICAN'S VIEW OF THE WORLD

I am Canadian, a regular visitor to LewRockell.com, and do not change my habits when I travel. I was in the Beijing airport the other day and there was a group of MBA students from University of Connecticut waiting for the same flight as me. These students were very well dressed for a group of people that has not produced anything of significance to date. I overheard them talk down about some of the clothes and styles of the Chinese, the food they eat, the dirtiness of the cities, etc. One comment stood out: “Beijing, the city that gets under your fingernails.” Nice to be able to talk about your lender that way. They truly do view Asia as a place where people just make stuff for them. I tried to engage one of them: I asked her about the economics courses that she took. She was “not really interested in economics because she was specializing in Marketing and International Business.” Pretty much representative of the rest of the crowd—judging by the comments and conversations that I overheard. On the airplane, I was seated next to a Chinese executive for a large American company; any one of the students could have spoken to this guy and really learned something about International Business and Marketing in China; they were oblivious. This Chinese executive (non-MBA) spoke to me about his concern about the future of the US currency (thinks it will collapse) and diversification plans for the Asian part of the business (do not include US), while the MBA students went on talking about which cars they were going to own after graduation.

If this is any indication of what is coming out of other schools, the future stewards of American business are clueless.

The slumdog millionare uproar................

Friends i don't know what is seriously wrong with we indian people but instead of appreciating a good movie, we have to drive every thing into a controversy.I just want to ask my friends why is it so hard to appreciate a movie as a piece of art regardless of the cultural and geographical boundries.Why is it that we are always ashamed of facing the truth because it is true that india has many slums. I just want to ask the people would there be such a fuss in the indian community if this same movie would have been picturised by an indian director, and the point is they have not shown india at all in a bad light or as some people misinterrpreted slum dog as "dogs of the slum" its just a slang that has come frome underdog meaning people who are nobody or starting something new in a field.From my point of view they have depicted the "never die attitude of the indian community who are brave enough to find happiness in the most adverse of situations and in the smallest of the things ,it shows the spirit of the indians as the mythical pheonix which rises from its ashes to brave a new world that too with a new start, immortalising every moment of life".............so instead of bickering about a movie sit back and enjoy the attitude of the people who face hardship and still survive the day to day misery of life......................................................................................................................
