Some companies do really look at ur uni before hiring u.<BR/>'Respecting the elder' culture is widely practised in most eastern countries too, but weird enuff, they're still able to produce critical-thinking grads, take for example Japan. I wonder how they do it..Nux Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822489258846135107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122621348485204432.post-74716640840964292422007-11-12T11:14:00.000+08:002007-11-12T11:14:00.000+08:00Yea, I've seen the top 200 uni list!

Msian uni are too exam-based. I wonder if those graduates do learn anything useful from their education.<BR/><BR/>Yup, msia should cultivate learning and critical thinking since young! But then, i don't think its something easy to do since msia has this culture of 'respect your elders'. It's like saying 'what your teacher taught is the absolute truth! Do not challenge them!'<BR/>So, its kinda impossible to cultivate critical thinking with that kind of mentality!3POINT8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02097881518064438926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122621348485204432.post-78303805923763416382007-11-12T00:12:00.000+08:002007-11-12T00:12:00.000+08:00hi John, nice to see u again at this blog ;Pand th...hi John, nice to see u again at this blog ;P<BR/>and thanks for complimenting!Nux Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822489258846135107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122621348485204432.post-25545654118930508632007-11-11T22:15:00.000+08:002007-11-11T22:15:00.000+08:00It's hard for me to be objective about this post s...It's hard for me to be objective about this post since in the USA most people speak ONLY English.<BR/><BR/>You, however, have communicated your strong feelings quite well.<BR/><BR/>By the way, thanks for the listing in your cool blogs section!John A Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777330742400065045noreply@blogger.com
