Fragmentation vs amalgamation

Today in our opening session, we unconsciously drew a line between the Sciences and the Humanities by stating our first impression about the two. In the same way, we came up with what we perceive will be our students’ impression. Incidentally both opinions matched.

However, when we consider the population of educators (Science oriented) gathered this morning, it’s not surprising that what we call fun is what we have desire for. If the population is switched around, the results will definitely come out opposite. I wonder what the result will be with our students.

Then we come to the question, what is the reality when we talk of science being more fun than humanities? I think this depends on who we are, how we perceive things and our area of interest. This in effect means we can’t discountenance what other people feel about our area of specialization and how we feel about theirs. Instead it’s a lot better if we come up with a way to amalgamate our opinions and efforts in order to come up with a better and more functional/result oriented approach to educate our students which I want to conclude is by collaboration between the different disciplines.
