unit 1 blog

When I first read the blog assignment question, I recalled the moment when my friends and I argue about the majors in the freshman year of UCLA. People who declared science related majors had their own pride and others who had letters and science majors did not give up the argument about their own and distinct characteristics. I currently have my classes at north campus while my friends who are pre-med had no chance to visit north campus side unless they have English classes that are mandatory to finish. At UCLA, it has been common to ask which campus they belong to instead of asking their destination on campus.

 Everyone at UCLA has a title called the students but they have diverse and distinct majors.

C. P. Snow introduces the article called “The Two Cultures” which is about his opinion based on the two cultures, the humanities and the science. He comments how this division causes a problem that they do not become a combination, rather just two different things that are indifferent to each other. This symptom was formed from the lack of understanding regarding education. One goal is needed to make harmony between art and science to help further generation. However, more stories about the third culture had been published. Especially these days, technology has a great massive effect on the world. Technology approached the art world and formed the third culture. If there were to be a fourth culture, i hope to see "harmonization" for next generation where all diverse sources combine and complete the puzzle.
