There are two reasons for the safety of international students in China: First, the preparation before going abroad is not sufficient, which is mainly reflected in the ignorance of the customs, laws and regulations of the destination country; Another important reason is that international students tend to be younger and have a weak sense of safety. Their self-care ability and self-reliance ability are relatively poor, and their ability to communicate with others and adapt to society is also relatively low, which directly leads to students not knowing how to deal with problems or having disputes and contradictions with others abroad, and they will only quarrel blindly or even use force.
Therefore, it is best for students to consciously learn how to communicate with others before going abroad to improve their ability to adapt to foreign life and solve problems. In addition, before going abroad, you should learn all kinds of safety knowledge through various channels and take the initiative to ask the school for relevant safety materials, manuals and emergency contact numbers to prevent problems before they happen; When you go abroad, you should know the local security situation as soon as possible. Once the residence is determined, it is necessary to ask the local residents about the surrounding environment and pay attention to whether there are safety measures, such as building alarms and roadside free call for help.
Every school generally has a special department to manage the international students in the school, and the office of international students in the school is the most direct department for students to seek help. General problems can be properly solved through consultation or direct reflection to the international student office. In case of emergency, you can also seek the assistance of China Overseas Students Association, the local embassy and consulate of China and the local police.
● Learn more about the cultural background of countries studying abroad.
International students may encounter different security problems in different countries. Therefore, it is necessary to consult professional study abroad service institutions, understand the legal system, customs and cultural background of the countries studying abroad, and make some psychological preparations for studying abroad. For example, in North America, citizens can hold guns within the scope prescribed by law. So be more cautious, don't intensify contradictions, and pay more attention to the surrounding environment. In the face of shooting and other emergencies, we must know how to hide and call the police. Don't panic, help each other, calmly deal with it, and follow the instructions.
In France, social events such as large-scale demonstrations sometimes lead to violent conflicts, so special attention should be paid to safety during this period. First, don't show off your wealth and avoid publicity. Second, avoid going to dangerous blocks alone and learn to protect yourself. Third, you must take good care of your valuables. Fourth, when eating in a restaurant, don't put your clothes on the back of the chair. Fifth, don't let strangers into the house, be careful to make friends.
If international students live in British schools, it is safer as long as they strengthen their awareness of prevention. If you meet someone who is drunk, you should generally stay away to avoid causing trouble. International students had better not go out alone at night. In addition, in Britain, we should pay attention to the traffic rules, because we are not used to driving on the left, so traffic accidents happen from time to time.
