solve task two higher education new courses
1. Some universities keep on designing newer higher education programmes very frequently dismantling irrelevant old ones while some others go on sprucing up the existing ones to meet the changing demands.
• Do you think it is fair to dismantle obsolete disciplines and go for newer ones?
• What is it that makes some universities resort to sprucing up existing ones?
All the universities need to design new courses according to the needs of the times. So, some resort to designing newer ones while some think it fair to refurbish the existing ones. I think making the old give way to new ones is fine, and there are reasons for some to engage in refurbishing existing courses.
There are several justifications bidding adieu to old courses. The thing is they are no more relevant and maintaining them involves a lot of men, money and material. Second thing is that there are not many takers for such programmes, and those who come to absorb it may end up jobless. Thirdly, the money, manpower and infrastructure saved thereof may be channeled to fund the newer ones which in turn will benefit the school, the learners and the society at large. The old must give way.
Coming to refurbishing the older courses, it may be said that some universities might find it cost-effective as it does not involve any revamping or reshuffle of the system. For example, the course content may go for a few changes and the people working in the system may not find it difficult adjust with it. The second reason may be that the already existing infrastructure could be carried forward for some more years. It saves a lot in terms resources and funds. And finally they cannot avoid the pressures of what we call, ‘change for better’.
In short the need for newer courses is very high today, and it is important to ignore the old and invite the new ones. Refurbishing existing courses may be justified in many ways, but it does not augur well of a new generation higher education establishment.

Five questions on five areas
Five questions
1. Crimes these days record newer highs, say some people. This view is objected by some others who hold that crimes have always been on the rise, but now the thing is that crimes are increasingly reported.
• How fair is it to say crime rates go to newer highs?
• Does the second opinion hold some substance?
2. In some countries, the social face of school children is much brighter and active whereas in some other parts, it is inactive or almost non-existent.
• How are these two faces of school children going to influence them?

3. In some parts of the world, political leaders are expected to be exceptionally clean in their personal and career life while, in some other parts of the world, they are at ease not to be so.
• See how these two different attitudes to politicians influence governance?
4. Some universities keep on designing newer higher education programmes very frequently dismantling irrelevant old ones while some others go on sprucing up the existing ones to meet the changing demands.
• Do you think it is fair to dismantle obsolete disciplines and go for newer ones?
• What is it that makes some universities resort to sprucing up existing ones?
5. Some say a native language is the voice of a particular culture while others say culture is self-standing and it does not need a common language.
• How right are these two views on culture in your opinion?
Culture and common language a task two solved
1. Some say culture exists through a common native language while others say culture is self-standing and it does not necessarily need a common language.
• How right are these two views on culture in your opinion?
It is a little hard tell apart the relationship between culture and the language of a culture. Anyway, culture is transported through a language, but it is not to say that there must be a common language all the time.
To begin with culture as such, it is not that easy to confine this abstract idea into a smaller set of words. However, it is words most of the time that keep culture going and enlivened. For example, people’s contributions to their life are being recorded in a language and the same is carried down to the coming generation.
Let me clarify it with an example. In our culture, it is expected that elders are respected and women are revered and children are nurtured with utmost care. This idea is written in holy scripts, referred to too often, spoken by people, and children are taught so. But the thing is that there can be several languages to get this job done. Again in Indian culture, food, whatever it may be, is taken as divine and this is same throughout the country.
Let me come to the second idea that culture is self-standing. In a multi-lingual populace same cultural nuances will be transported in several different mediums. Here I must add that there are a certain cultural things that do not need a language at all. Music, dance, some performing arts and fine arts are far more expressed and appreciated than spoken or read out. They just exist.
In short, language is very much involved in carrying a culture forward, but there are some cultural elements that do not need any language at all. They can be on their own. Or, they have their own language, I would say. The two views on culture are solid.

An interesting topic for discussion.
If the cure for mortality is found
within your lifetime, would you go for it and become immortal?
On the one hand, we're not made for eternal youth. And one
could argue that knowing life is short (or just limited) is what makes it worth
living. And perhaps death is a major spiritual part of life, whether you
believe in a soul or in a metaphorical one.
On the other hand, how is aging yet not another disease? Dying at age 80 is no more a "natural" death than being eaten alive by a bear or killed by malaria. In fact, "old age" is probably the most unnatural cause of death, statistically. So all that's probably just a cultural habit: diseases are evil but aging is good. Another point is that, well, things have changed. Perhaps our new environment makes it suitable for immortal youths.
And of course, becoming immortal only means that you die when YOU chose to die.
So would you go for the injection or not, and how do you rationalize your decision?
