Humanities Program?

what's that!

We study A Passage to India and Our Town, have Philosophy with Mrs. Seah; try to become true-blue geographers who learn ridiculously weird things like Wadati-Benioff zones and orogenesis OR try to become swastika-hating historians who learn about the Bolsheviks and Lenin!
We are also known as Fiona Fund.

Science questions

Monday, March 29, 2010

Aim of this exercise is to ask questions about science, whether it is the discipline of science, the use of science, the R&D, the future… Ask these questions so that we will be informed by this knowledge of asking all these questions, so that we may more properly and more coherently address issues in the SRQ.

When you give us your question, you guys think about those questions in relation to your article, refine it further and put it together. Call out and Esther will write it down.

1. Lauren: What is the nature of science? (Ms Teng: Is science neutral? What is the objectivity and subjectivity of science?)
2. Nicole: Is investing in military research necessarily a bad thing?
3. Celine: How do you measure the truth in science?
4. Jean: Must there be a purpose when pursuing technology?
5. Michelle: Should technology work within social boundaries?
6. Joyan: Does technology have tangible benefits for mankind?
7. Crystal: Is there a need for humanity to catch up with the progression of science?
8. Hyolim: Are humanitarian concerns more important that a country’s security?
9. Joyan: Should there be a common aim for the pursuit of science? (Common = suggests an international agreement or standard.)
10. Kylie: How much influence/ say does the public have in scientific research?
11. Michelle: Do scientists have a responsibility towards the progression of humanity? (Nicole: Is the progress of science impeding the progress of humanity?)
12. Crystal: Where do the loyalties of a scientist lie? With humankind or with science? (YX: Should scientists be affected by their personal values and ethics when making important decisions for science?)
13. Charis: Is the Hippocratic Oath still relevant today?
14. Simhwee: Should science be about advancement at any cost? (How do you measure/ judge the value of science?)
15. Linsha: What are the impacts of scientific developments on human rights?
16. Hyolim: Is there a way to ensure that science is purely for good? What are the checks and balances that we currently have on scientific development?
17. Yuxin: Who should be responsible for ‘bad decisions’? Is it the scientist’s fault that destructive power and profit are the major priorities driving application of science today?
18. Crystal: What is the duty of a scientist?
19. Jean: Who is to judge whether we are progressing too fast?
20. Crystal: Why are there conflicts between ethics and science?
21. Huiqi: Why do we always argue over morals, when it is our intentions that should be questioned?
22. Jean: Who has the most say in deciding the direction of science? Government? People with money? The intellectual community? The end user?
23. Ms Teng: What are some controversies that have arisen out of scientific research?
24. Ms Teng: Is the work of a scientist more valuable than that of an artist? Think about the emphasis schools are placing on science and education, and the prestige that comes with the study of science.

Go home and research, so that you are equipped for the panel discussion.

R&R BLOGGING

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

Anyhow, there's a deadline for this thing. I checked the link on Only Connect - she wants us to have one like model answer to this SRQ practice so everyone is to upload theirs onto their blog and we're going to apparently rate and then pick the best and then do something about it. There's a countdown at that link which currently reads 4 days and blah hours. So please get yours done asap. And those who never link yourself, just go to Layout (There is no template) tab of the Only Connect blog, and then beneath the four tabs (ending with Monetize) there is this tab called Pages and Elements. Click on that and then scroll down to see the sidebar and the R&R blogs sidebar. Click on EDIT and then follow the way that everyone links themselves Your name

Just a naggy reminder.

height 6 cm

width 6 cm

try to fix on your com before printing i don't think it's to scale.

you just have to measure your head size, then divide it into segments of 6cm.

remember to add an extra 3 cm at the end of your band so you can join the ends together.

doesn't matter if your band cannot be divided nicely into 6cm just leave the leftover parts as it is.

More songs

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

Hey guys;
Some other songs to listen to. They are easy to walk to, but it's okay if they're not chosen because they are not everyone's cup of tea ^^
Other people, you're welcome to post more suggestions
