MacroEconomics is definately an interesting subject.
A Bridging Module which i have to take as i came from an engineering background.
For the first time ever, i was attentive in class for the 4 hours.
Not even a yawn! And Not infected by other people yawning!
WEll, according to the lecturer, MAcro E is a wide subject but..
due to the time constraint, Everything was simplified.
Maybe, if it goes in details, i dunnow whether the interest is there or not..HAHA
But for sure, after 2 days of lesson, it was really satisfying.
My lecturer told us a story about a China female student he taught.
He showed a statistic by the world bank which showed China was one of the lowest
And she felt insulted. She disagree to the stats and claims that the lecturer was insulting her.
Well, the lecturer emphasized to her that it is not his statistic, but the world bank.
But she was really upset and unhappy. Prev, she was studying in OZ and she claims that China
is much more richer than OZ coz in China, they have LCD TV but for OZ, they only own small
TV.
And so, the lecturer explain to us, y is it so. Firstly in China, the wages was not distributed
evenly. Some who are rich becomes richer but those who are poor are not getting richer.
And this China girl fall into the richer category w/o realising that there are people in her
country that are not equally rich as her. Second, the lifestyle in OZ is different. They are not
the material people. Doesnt mean they have small TV, they are poor. In fact, they are rich but
they dun really watch TV a lot, they are more to the outdoor lifestyle.
There are other stories which the lecturer share, regarding the economy..the history and all..
WEll to sum up the class, it was fun. This Sunday is the last class and im sure gonna miss the
class.
