I'm sure many co-workers also experienced similar feelings but decided to stay, as it appears this is one of those "take it or leave i…

“Goldman Sachs rules the world”. Media hoax, marketing campaign or pure truth?

I have come across this video yesterday and looked at it several times. I was astonished by the directness of this trader who told the whole world through the BBC that he dreams every night about a global economic crisis, because this situation will allow him to make big profits.

I had a conversation about it with Vida and she said that the trader did this on purpose, launching this controver…

Design that can impact a society’s stigma on housing

The housing titanic – The big ship in communicating to influence the public stigma of affordable housing.

Australia has an ingrained belief that owning a home is essential to their wellbeing, stability and being a responsibility citizen in our society. This is mainly due to the fact that it has been possible in the past. Yet with our changing world this expectation is fading fast. In its wake …
