Week 1: Two Cultures
Week 1: Two Cultures
If I was not introduced to my friends now then the odds of me spending anytime with people who think like engineers is very slim. Although I am not around any engineering classes or labs their experience rubs off one me. It allows me to see things a different way and experience a whole new perspective of life. It reminds me everyday that both science and humanities are very similar and can coexist with each other.
Having friends that have engulfed themselves in a subject that is different from mine allows me to learn from them and gives the perspective that some will never get. Some may disagree and say that you need to learn it for yourself but I think that if you have others share with you that perspective you are gaining the same as getting it first hand.

"The Two Cultures" lecture is one that I relate to everyday, as my friends are engineering majors and I am a sociology major. The two fields are extremely different and this difference effects the way that we interact and make decisions as a group. The bridge between humanities and science may not seem apparent but there is an entire field dedicated towards these two subjects being related. As everyone knows it is common for a sociologist to use science related evidence to help explain certain societal issues.

Hi Nick! I really liked your connection to this week's topic. I can really relate as I am a social sciences major and my roommates are both in the physical sciences. I liked what you said about the physical seperation that you face by not having classes or labs with those friends. I think it's really insightful that you recognize the impact that their experience within that major has on you!
