Get the Roblox Developer mug.The SIDGS is a program at the University of Ottawa in international development. It attracts the largest number of students in the whole faculty of social sciences.
It is known for its contingent of English Canadian hippies and Franco Ontarians who don't know what to do with their life but want to travel and want to get through university without learning anything too rough. In between two joints they learn to hate the IMF and the World Bank and that participatory research methods is THE shit. After four years they also finally realise that international development is a load of crap, and they should study something else if they want a good job.
The profs in the SIDGS are an amalgation of academics and field practitioners, mostly all Marxist. Is it thought that there are two factions within the SIDGS Marxist group, a maoist one led informally by an old development worker, and a Trotskyist one led by an old sociology professor who is plotting to take over the SIDGS to turn it into a revolutionary unit. When a large enough number of DVM alumni realise they can't get a job, they will most likely join this organization to become the cannon fodder of the revolution.

(In a School of International Development and Global Studies typical class discussion group)
Teacher's Assistant: So did anyone read the text for today?
Most students: No...
TA: Can someone who read it sum it up? (i.e. the TA doesn't understand shit about DVM either...)
One student: Yeah, it says the IMF f**ked all the development in Africa and they're full of shit.
TA: (reading the text) Yes... yes you're right that's what it said.

Get the developement mug.When someone leaves their area, many are undecided about where they want to live, they've heard things about an area or knew somebody that moved there, and they thought about moving themselves. Someone who really wants a house in an area badly enough doesn't need a newly built house in a neighborhood that wasn't there 20 years ago, they're going to look for one anywhere they can find one, even if they have to dig a little bit deeper to find one. All developers really do is clear cut everything to make things quicker and easier for themselves and the people moving in from out of state, or out of town.
Developers never have the interest of the people from an area in mind, they have dollar signs in mind. Nothing else.
