it's some form of communications is all. leading from the top.
i am starting to see that the main reason why a lot of academic work is done is because people are working towards things for medicine.
in order to get into medical school. in order to get a match to a good program. in order to progress your career.
every step of the way they provide a bunch of hoops to jump through or tasks to be ticked off.
it provides some kind of a structure. but it also provides some kind of a... breadth? for society.
i mean... a lot of work is done in the basic sciences only becuase people are required to do that kind of work before they are allowed to study medicine.
the New Zealand system requires you to have completed a degree from a NZ uni in the last 5 years. and that provides probably the only driver that there is for unis around the country to allow at least some of their students to finish their degrees in a timely fashion. otherwise, probably, nobody would ever get to. my doing this... has lit a bit of a fire up under the arts. because they tell themselves stories about how the arts is special / different and it is a different kind of a student with different work habits and so on... which somehow justifies them keeping their students kicked back and down and forever on probably less tham minimum wage pay for the hours they extract from them with grading undergraduate student work...
and i guess it's a lesson for me with respect ot how there is no justice here, really. not so as you can rely on it. i've learned how other countries are more structured with curriculums and deadlines and so to work for them in the first instance. it is random here what is rewarded... we don't seem to value work so much... our district health boards prefer the low road... they prefer people who haven't been accepted on specialist training programs (people who are not progressing qualifilcations). low pay. lots of hours. you want to minimise time spent doing that. your clinical skills will become... not fit to practice in developed nations. i'm sure... get out soon as you can...
it's sad but it seems to be how the people here have decided they want to live. i guess it's part of giving it back. new zealand, i mean. giving it back to elite maaori to... i don't know... behead their enemies. i don't suppose it will come to that... i don't know what to say.
maaori are fine. it's just a few... maaoridom... a few prominant ones... almost strategically placed to try and make a country racist.
i try and remember mjy childhood friends... friends i have met later in life... maaori. they didn't hvae time for maaori b*llsh*t politics either.
