Sample: Multiculturalism and Integration

The main theme on this issue on multiculturalism and integration are its differences to cultural and government lead influences, and also the extent in which it is successful and not so. It will open up my personal opinions in paper through my own interpretations and concepts.

I think that this project in my own personal belief that needs to be done. Even if it is outside of my studies in general, through my own experiences from work and first hand sources, it still can be achieved.

What really lead me thinking about this issue was when i was still in Sydney and a Dutch student made a surprising visit to Western Sydney to see first hand on the ‘design’ of multiculturalism. That is, how people lived, the institutions which supports such accommodation and even to the extent of flaws caused by clash of misunderstanding and culture. He talked about the problem faced in Holland and the in depth continuous division between the ethnically Dutch and the immigrants who naturalised but yet still to be integrated to become like a Dutch.

Vondelpark Precinct

After my class, i adventured down South towards my gym. It felt like four seasons in one afternoon. Rain, hail and literally shine! But determined that i will continue this park as i watched the locals wondering around doing their own business. Surreal yet combersome. Soon, my jumper felt a kilo heavier sogged with excess water.

But by the time i have finished this walk, it didn’t really matter to me.
