Hi BP, I need to rant..
/rant
You guys know I've been really busy doing assignments lately. I have this 10k word assignment with my group, and I'm the group leader. My group members are consisting of myself (Malaysian), a Singaporean, and three students from China. We're all good friends with each other.
But still, as group leader, I have to do a lot of works, including editing and formatting group members' parts of the report.
IM HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME.
Check this part out:
How do I friggin edit this. I don't even know what it means. I ended up deleting his whole 2000 word part and I plan to finish it in a day, because Monday is the assignment deadline.
/end rant

"Swiss people are control freaks" summarizes all that chapter.

"Swiss people are control freaks" summarizes all that chapter. Actually they are very much egalitarian, so I have no idea where that comes from.. And there isn't any citation following that paragraph, was it a figment of fiction or imagination?

That's a meaningless write up. Better off removing it.
What is your topic about?

If you don't wear an helmet while riding a bike in Switzerland you get a fine. And it's actually true that you can't flush a toilet after 22:00 there because loud noises are not tolerated, according to Google. So control freaks they are. While coffee costs more for strangers rather than Swiss people, that's about egalitarism. Or racism. Or both.

While coffee costs more for strangers rather than Swiss people, that's about egalitarism. Or racism. Or both. Amongst Swiss, it's very much Egalitarian. But they're highly ethnocentric, which means their rules compromise for themselves and they kinda don't care about immigrants or foreigners or culturally different people in general. So that explains what you just said. Haha Direwulven, I literally removed his whole part and in the process of rewriting his whole part now.. It's about core cultural dimensions anyway, he can make use of Hofstede's, Trompenaar's and GLOBE's model but all he did was ... Gah, I don't know what he did man.

I heard you are not allowed to own property in Switzerland unless you're a citizen.

Wow I feel sorry for this guy. I would definitely call him and try to understand what he was getting at. Sorry that you are in this situation. If that was me I would send it back to him and say "write it all over in a better way within 2 hours or I'm going to hunt you down and destroy you!!!!"

Hahaha, well rewriting this (2000 words part in total) gives me an easier time than asking him to rewrite and I have to reedit again.. Deadline for the assignment is tomorrow. I have one day to write 1500 words more! And another assignment deadline on Friday. Then 2 weeks of exam following up.
