Waste of Time
Hi all,
I have been following the site for quiet some time, I think it is helpful to many GCs. Now I wanted to write my 2 cents about the issue of GC.
I believe that I have a good view on the german society, I spent since I was a teenager until about 25 years of age here in Germany. I know a bit of the culture here. The german society is not an will NOT be a Multi Kulti Cultures, the politics and the pepole don't want it and therefore the foreigners will always will looked down at, no matter who they are and what educational background they have. The PisaII confirms also that this society segragates, just like south africa did, only it is not done openly. This country does not have an anti discrmination law, or what it has has no teeth. I would advise any foreigner not to put any roots down in Germany, even if you think you are making it, which is mostly only temporarly, think of the opportunities your childern will have, they end up most likely in der "Hauptschule" and that is a dead end. The germans are very stubborn and will not change their system or learn from other countries and their politics will not change either. Politicians like Stoiber or Beckstein for example are Nazis, all the way, they only have sometimes a smile on their face, that is only the difference from the past. And of course as the economy gets worse the foreigners will be at fault, in the eyes of the society and because they don't speak German
) this discussion about integation is a big joke, you want to integrate people? well you got to put them at least on equal footing with others, just walk down the street and see when police stops a foreigner he or she asks him first for his visa papers, this all is becuase of his looks, the Gestapos used to do that too with the jews. Oh well, this got to be a bit long but my advise to you all is to look for jobs in other countries where you will be accepted and welcomed and where your children will have a better chance. O personally think the job situation in germany will get worse, the german companies are doing very well but not the workfore, the whole east block is a big challenge for germany and I don't think they can take up that challenge, has a bit with being stubborn to do

"It is important that every culture respect the other cultures and mentalities"
I am afraid the way it is going in Germany and may be in most of western Europe is not a full application of the above statement, in other words many people are talking too much about respecting the other cultures and mentalities but when you look at the ground you only find "respecting the local culture and mentality".
I am working in a Europian environment, everybody speaks English including the Germans, in most the cases I find lots of people are not able to even understand other cultures and mentalities, what about respecting!!
People here are brought-up while looking down to other cultures, I think they are far way from reaching "respect" level.
To be honst I have to say that this changes from one European nationality to the other, also it changes from one person to the other.
It is just my point of view, I might be right and I might be wrong.
Have a good afternoon.
