We then listened to "A Tribute to Rituporno Ghosh". Listening to "Remember Me" poem by Christiana Rossetti can be a wonderful way of looking at men's desire for eternity through remembrance. Also recalled the greatest modern French Novel "<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">Remembrance of Things Past.</span>"</li><li>We then drifted into the world of songs - first, "Miss Sarajevo" by Bono and Pavarotti.

This dichotomy can only be understood when we see that TRUTH is single-dimensional. That Truth can be understood only in Art, while Life is itself truth (whether ugly or beautiful).

It is highly readable for a non-expert. The author RIGHTLY connects upholding democratic values for ensuring ethical use of frontier technology.

was not easy, since the college’s website was down, and was given ten minutes

complete it within the time given and started working on the next draft of it.

I have often tried to "say something" on these issues to my SAT/Application class, but ultimately ended with incomprehensible statements myself. But deep down in my everyday thinking, I see flashes of what TRUTH is made up of, and it would be a crime not to share my "visions" with others. While the WikiWand is a very good starting point, it would be better if you drift into other scholarly Books.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Our class today
was mainly based on three white French male philosophers- Lyotard, Derrida and
Foucault. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">For Lyotard, we primarily focused on his book: The
Postmodern Condition. It mainly talks about the loss of faith in
metanarratives, mainly that of science and technology. The word ‘metanarrative’
is new to me and I found its meaning quite interesting. It is the
interpretation of events, theories, and discoveries in the past that sets up a
pattern and can be used to describe the future. So, it is like a grand,
coherent story that describes all. It can be religious scriptures or scientific
theories like that provided by Darwin or Freud. Postmodernists seek to reject
the metanarratives of science which places science on a much loftier position
than it should be and question all theories. I realized that we tend to use
metanarratives as well for example, when one dismisses other’s beliefs as
superstitions, when a feminist regards the patriarchal system to have always
only oppressed women or when someone resorts to a certain drug as a cure for an
illness without a second thought. On a broader scale, this can be seen by the
influence of the West on world values and can be deemed as unjust because local
beliefs, methods and procedures are disregarded. Science seeks to proof all
faith systems as false, but itself is a faith system. I had not previously
viewed science or religion as this universal scheme, but now I see how it is a
metanarrative. I agree with the Postmodernist theory that rather than a grand,
all-encompassing theory, we should have </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">smaller, more local narratives because all people are different.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Moving on from Lyotard, we discussed Derrida and Deconstruction. This
describes the relation between texts and their meaning. His concept was a
little bit difficult for me to grasp. Upon researching online, I found that the
definition of Deconstruction itself is complicated because it critiques the
very language that is used to define it. I think it is to look into sentences
and not take them at face value but rather challenge the sentence and its
meaning. The question or challenge need not come from outside but rather from
within the sentence itself. It is a bit paradoxical. I think one of Derrida’s
quotes, </span><span style="background: white; color: #202122; font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">"there is no out-of-context,” means exactly that. Every
assumption that we make from a sentence, though not obvious at first, can be
derived from that single sentence. There is rarely any definite truth in
anything. It all depends on our perception. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background: white; color: #202122; font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Finally,
we discussed about Foucault. “I don't feel that it is necessary to know exactly
what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that
you were not in the beginning” -I found this quote to be quite relevant to our
lives. I think it aligns with the popular quote, “it’s not about the
destination, and it’s about the journey (or rather how the journey can
influence the destination).”</span><i><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Lyotard says we must be content without universal
truth and Foucault says life has no fixed destination, both are kind of similar
in the sense that there are no set rules that govern life<i>. </i></span><span style="background: white; color: #202122; font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We also discussed Foucault’s book, ‘Birth of the Clinic’,
which describes society’s need to create systems in order to contain
revolutionary or ‘peculiar’ ideas. That is how power is exerted. This is done
through mental clinics, asylums, jails and even schools where people are
streamlined according to society’s laws. Schools participate in the oppressive
regime that places the knowledgeable on a higher level than others. This is
similar to how metanarrative puts science on a pedestal. Sir’s example of the
recent protest in Dhaka and its ineffectiveness at minimizing crime in the
long-run holds true and something that I have thought about previously.
Punishing the offender is definitely important, but so is questioning the
system that created that offender. People are hesitant to do so because it will
mean changing a system that has been functioning for a long time. Yet, should
we ignore transforming a system for the better just because of our reluctance to
restructure?</span><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background: white; color: #202122; font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Overall,
I thought that all philosophers have very pessimistic views of the current
society. Lyotard questions the pervasive and dominating nature of science,
Derrida asks about the need to challenge meaning and Foucault makes one wonder
about the effectiveness of the systems in place. I have been pondering over a
lot of questions since our class today. Is society beyond repair at this point?
Is it kind of like the climate crisis, where we have already crossed a threshold
temperature and now only drastic action can save us? If we were to start
implementing philosophies like those discussed today amidst our smaller
circles, will it eventually be enough to make a larger social impact? If truth
is fragmented and subjective and as we are delving farther away (much like
entropy), is it possible to ever return to the absolute truth of something? While,
I don’t know the answer to these questions, I realize that having such
contrasting ideas, presenting challenges and asking questions is how we can improve
ourselves and eventually move forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Collegepanda.com is no exception. But what I liked most is the way the author has brought out each PROBLEM area and Categorised them under Headings. So, here it goes = a FRESH list of things you could just check over and compare them with your OWN PERSONAL list of things for SAT.<div><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_Z5Do3FjdUxnKk7XlR7Mz73nBmCwJvmDgTEGclGjwZdWpU0cLD7Buwp_xIKQSW15S43SstlxEuZpGepYeruNr45k5kuoLGqN1edOSduyM8OlJ-7gCXkjN8FLD4_V4Xbc8CMMiDeEqHOb/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="794" data-original-width="1412" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_Z5Do3FjdUxnKk7XlR7Mz73nBmCwJvmDgTEGclGjwZdWpU0cLD7Buwp_xIKQSW15S43SstlxEuZpGepYeruNr45k5kuoLGqN1edOSduyM8OlJ-7gCXkjN8FLD4_V4Xbc8CMMiDeEqHOb/" width="320" /></a> Look at him!</div><br /></div><div>College-Panda maintains a Blog-run of posts related to Tricky-problems in SAT = find the link Below</div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://thecollegepanda.com/categories/sat-math/" target="_blank">SAT Math Trouble Areas</a><br /></li></ol><div>Secondly, there is a page where Panda keeps a list of things related to Writing.

Panda suggests that you should read the passage first and then answer Q. But if it is Q first, and then Passage, you are probably a GOOD reader.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">I
loved the meeting today especially because the insight I have gained from
Prachy’s unconventional major choices. It’s important to note what our
interests lead us to, even if at first they don’t make sense and thereafter,
follow them. Another important point she shared is to keep attached to our
Bengali identity because no matter where we go it’s a part of us that we should
be proud of.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">Today,
I got the opportunity to talk with Ms. Prachy Mahbub, a Research Data
Specialist working under Harvard Medical School. She was very enthusiastic
overall, and would get even more excited when asked about her undergrad
experience at Mount Holyoke College and her job at Harvard. She was open to all
sorts of questions, even ones which were not involved in either her work, or
her college life. Her speech today made me realize one thing, which is the
importance of having more than one major. She said her second major, Islamic
Theology would help her think out of the box, and would let her interpret thing
in many ways. She also talked about the importance of grades, and how it would
affect student applying this year especially. She enjoyed spending her time
painting, which would allow her to take the stress away from her job.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">Since 2010, every Logophiles
students are highly discouraged to think of Single Major. If the realization
comes after Prachy’s talk, I would say, it came too late. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">This comments makes no mention of extensive reading and writing that

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style", serif; font-size: large;"><b>Q.
How did you decide you major?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">A.
I had Math, physics, chemistry and biology in A’ levels. I liked biology the
most so I decided to pursue neuroscience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style", serif; font-size: large;"><b>Further
comment from the student:</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">Sir, I really need to think about
it more. She told me ask questions to a lot of different people before I decide
and not to shift majors frequently. I am confused. But then again, what else
can be done with Math and Physics other than Engineering? E.E and Aerospace is
appealing though. I might switch to Aerospace but that would mean all my
research till now is wasted. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">My Comment:</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">Physics and Math is required in
EVERY SINGLE subject in STEM. Since you are ok with both Physics and Math, go
for Engineering (no need to be specific because first 2 Years SAME Course
work). And then add Mathematics - you can go to Any Profession after having
Math in UG. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">This comments makes no

so we will find a book that truly inspires us. She also states that even a
simple movie or song can also help us get inspired. She says although her two
majors seem different they are quite well linked up. Moreover, she mentions
that her religion major now helps her think out of the box at Harvard. She
teaches us to be proud as a Bangladeshi and to include that love for Bangladesh
in our characters and essays. Through her love for painting we know that we
should also perform some kind of activity in between our works that helps us
relax. Prachy Apu also informed us that the A level grades are quite important
at top universities.</span></span></p>

Mahbub <o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<h2 style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;"><span>(Double
Major in Neuroscience and Islamic Theology from Mount Holyoke College, MS. Currently
placed in Harvard Medical School as Research Data Specialist.) </span><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">Today, we
were joined by a former Logophiles student today morning where she talked about
a lot of important aspects of undergraduate applications and university life. Her
academic background include a Double Major at <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mount Holyoke</b><b> College</b> in Neuroscience and Islamic Theology. She talked
about how important it was for her to be immersed in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">literature, films, and art </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">during the time of application</span>. There were some books she didn't
necessarily want to read, and some books she connected with and found
inspiration in. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">There
was talk of how much reading and writing she had to do as an undergraduate. It
is important that we go prepared and showcase our ability to read at the level
that will be required to complete our undergrad at a good US college.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">She
talked about the importance of standing out as a candidate for her
undergraduate admissions and listed a few things that made her application
stand out. For example<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">, the Technical
Research Paper</b> that she sent to universities really helped her stand out to
admissions officers. She emphasized the importance of having our own opinion,
our own views, and our own perspectives. She encouraged us to embrace our
Bangladeshi background and heritage. Impeccable grades are really important for
the very top universities, but for other liberal arts colleges, what's
important is that we show in other ways that we are competent candidates. What
matters is that we can present ourselves as a competent candidate who has
strong and differentiated view that will notably improve the diversity of the
university. It is important that we do not only expect to take something from
the overall undergraduate experience in the college, but also expect to
contribute something meaningful there as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">Currently,
she's a Research Data Specialist at Harvard Medical School, and she elaborated
on the importance of interpretation of big data in today's world. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Harvard Medical School</b> is one of the
first ever to use a large research database for over 10,000 patients. The
database is just two years old, and is growing at an exponential rate. This
just shows already how huge the applications and investment in big data is
right now, and how fast the whole world expects the market to grow. As a
neuroscience major, she talks about how important programming and data science
is to all fields across STEM. When talking about choosing a major, she brings
in her own experience of talking many courses from diverse fields during her
freshman year. She encourages us to talk to anyone and everyone and tells us
her own experience of meeting people from fields very different from her own,
like bumping into and striking conversations with Anthropology Professors,
which occurred at one on-campus conference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: large;">Ultimately,
from just starting our applications and all the way to her sophomore year, it’s
important for us to constantly search for what areas and intellectual issues
and concepts appeal to us. In that search for our interests and cravings, we
find our ideal major and end up with lots of meaningful life experiences and
meet people that one day we might call our family.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Unfortunately, I joined at the last moment and I'm guessing I missed a lot of good parts of it. Though at the last part of the session the thought of her getting a course on ‘Islamic Theology’ was amazing. Just because I'm in science or she is in a STEM subject doesn’t mean we cannot get the taste of a different subject other than science.
