which side to believe??

Discrimination. Biased. Favouratism. All of it are the terms we used for unequal respect towards someone or a group. Australia was the melting pot of all races and customs. Supposedly, they should be acclimatized by the over decades multicultural environment, yet, Australia is said to encounter severe discrimination issue. But, is it true? We never had the first-hand experience of the culture in Australia. Most of us haven’t even been there before, yet we act like we know everything about it. We depend on mass media – internet, local newspaper, etc. But are all of these reliable? That is what we should ponder upon instead of just digesting every single news.

Malaysia was once jeopardized by the statement that said Malaysians were rude and hostile. But how far does that person who gives out the statement know Malaysia? So, try to reflect it on what we are doing right now. We are saying that Australians and discrimination are inseparable. This in fact, is the act of biasness. We are the one who discriminate them. I had once asked my senior about racism in Australia, and talking from her own experience, she said Australians were very helpful and surprisingly, not biased at all! Hence, which source should we believe? The profit-makers’ headlines or the one who really have the experience living in there for years? Personally, I used to believe the former hitherto. But, since I had my own story-teller who had been living in Australia for years, I had stopped myself from taking in and trusting the headlines made by the mass media. But who knows which one is true. The core is to put trust on one side. Therefore, I was hoping that, instead of just hearing on either one side, I could experience the environment in Australia myself. =)
