 Your thoughts...
+Riz's story, as well as the reality faced by many people in Pakistan, seems so distant and shocking at first glance. However, upon some more reflection, I find there are aspects of this ethical discussion that I can relate to. As an international student since my undergraduate career, I've always been flagged when applying for scholarships, entering the country, and even exploring job opportunities. Although I understand the importance of differentiating residence/immigration status to ensure the safety and fairness in the country, at times, the fact that my identity and value all of a sudden gets undermined by one line in the country's database - "international student visa" - crushes my dreams and hopes I once brought with me when I first arrived in Canada. For example, because I immediately disquality for most scholarship or bursary opportunities as an international PhD student, I am unable to bring funds independently for my supervisor. Although unintended, this leads to a sense of inferiority within my lab and department, as the inability to bring in funds is frowned upon by supervisors. This immediate disqualitifaction because of my status in the databases despite my grades, experience, and outputs outperforming other candidates seem quite unfair. Although necessary from the perspective of security, marginalization and inequalities are discreetly implied by our governmental and even institutional databases. Another thought I had was the question of privacy with the emerging intersection of technology and our societies. When you travel to Asia (e.g., China), they now simply scan your face to enter the country or even to make purchases at convenience stores... Yes, this may seem convenient, but this also means it is that much easier for the government to follow and track your steps - perhaps there's a database of every action, purchase, or even word I've said!
