Cause engineering, science, and math majors are much more demanding. So please, STFU about your essay that's due the next day and stop wearing berets. Have fun finding a job btw, fucking douches.

Does anyone know that policy or something, well my prof told me about it once...

Where top Ivy League schools or whatever elite Unis always accept about 25% of students who are not academically the greatest (in marks) but excel in either a sport or artistic talent like music.

That way, because there's always going to be a ranking in a school, most of the bottom quarter of people who score the lowest won't be upset over their marks because what defines them and is important to them is their skill/ability in that area that isn't measured academically. In the end everyone is happy.

I thought that was cool. Does anyone know what it's referred to as?

String theory would have enormous benefits if it is proven. Ex, it will prove supersymmetry, solving the hierarchy problem, letting us manlipulate force carriers like the graviton even through bulk branes. We would be able to use the unification to pontentially convert gauge bosons to anything with virtual particles in things like quantum electrodynamics. Limits of locality and determinance would also help in teleportation (which we can alraedy do now) and quantum foam would give more insight into planck time and the arrow of time (entropy), possibly allowing for loops in immediate vectors, etc.

Just a quick question: I'm considering majoring in political science but want to go to graduate school for political philosophy--are these essentially the same thing?

I know political philosophy centers around Locke, Hobbes, legal scholars, etc., but when I think of political science I think of political campaigns and reading demographics for political parties.

tl;dr if I want to work in political philosophy as an academic, should I major in political science or philosophy?

In my former university, they were all under the auspices of the same department. International relations, political philosophy, comparative politics, American politics, and statistics were all housed under the same roof.

So if you're interested in political philosophy, by all means take Poli Sci courses, meet and get to know your professors that teach theory and philosophy, and get their letters of rec for grad school. No one in the proper philosophy department of my university knew as much about political philosophy as those in the Poli Sci department. That's why they're there.

Kinda funny how you loser English majors have nothing better to do than pick of words while reading essays. You see, in science papers, WE DON'T FUCKING CARE MUCH ABOUT GRAMMAR OR SPELLING. As long as it is readable and makes no difference to the material, we couldn't care less because we have actualy, important matters to discuss rather than the fucking spelling of "alright".

This really seems to perpetuate the inequality of pay between men and women, considering engineering is probably one of the most male-dominated fields. Work require skill-sets primarily held by women is much more under-appreciated in society.

I'm not talking about just English here, but health care and business even. Is it explainable though because this chart shows only degrees--is it talking about first degrees? I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem as if engineers need a lot of education past the first degree, whereas many others pursue Masters degrees or go to Med School and Law school.

Just speculation on my part. I dunno. If anyone has some insight...?

No, you're still missing the point. Terms of art are fine in English class, but in Political Science or other social sciences (that are not true sciences), those rules are not observed. An artistic transgression in English class is fine, it the cut and dry world of efficiency like Poli Sci, it's not. There's a difference. Academia, as I'm using it, refers to the world outside English and the transmutations you can commit on English for the sake of that department and study. Outside English, you can't just do whatever. You need to follow rules to be taken seriously.

That's all.

I'm glad someone finally noted the obvious differences between political science majors and English majors; a lot of people in the sciences on this board seem to have a stereotype of all non-science majors, and also seem to enjoy applying blanket statements.

The truth is, English majors and political science majors and sociology majors and--you get the point--aren't similar at all; not in their interests, not in their cultural tastes, and certainly not psychologically.

I don't know how people--in the sciences or not--can justify stupid threads like these.

Exactly.

I'm a Poli Sci post-grad, and while I have and respect my English major friends, we're not in the same arena. At all. One is about art and linguistics and critical theory, the other is about politics and game theory and, in a large part, history. They overlap, and neither is better than the other. But their domains are as far removed as biology is from physics - similar language in terms of mathematics, naturally, but quite apart in the academic universe in terms of their focus. They link, but it's not the same. The goals aren't the same. The interest isn't the same.

Of course you're guessing in science, dipshit, otherwise our theories wouldn't change. Our current guess just happen to have a bigger pragmatic value than the previous one, it isn't in any way closer to "the truth". Later on there will be another guess with an even better pragmatic value, and when that ones occurs, we'll adopt that theory.

Regardless of opinion on this rank table, what makes you think you'd live a truly fun life as a machine who spews out calculations? If you want to be a completely lifeless database of scientific fact then kill yourself and wait for such a thing to be designed.

Personally, I consider many of these fields of study to be important. Astronomy certainly isn't as big a deal as psychology. There's no chance in hell you're getting into NASA if you're a schizophrenic PMS nutcase who has chronic depression.

Besides, without music and art (art being the definition of ALL media, from theatre too paintings too movies to literature) I think you'd find life to be pretty fucking boring, OP.

Enjoy your dark basement playing Spore and Deus Ex, fucking protheist wannabe.
