Nervous for a class? o.O Maybe it's your sixth sense tingling, foreshadowing the inevitable fact that a really hot girl will sit next to you.

No, Criminology (with master year focusing on human rights and political crimes).

Human security is a fairly new concept and looks at security from the pov of human beings and their core human rights, instead of the security of the state (military, borders, etc). There's no mention of it in criminology, (concept mostly developed in political sciences since 1994) and my 'task' is to see if this can be helpful and can give new insights for criminology, which has only recently gotten a little more attention for inter/transnational crimes.

I hope you enjoy Cell biology, because I absolutely hated it. Virology does sound interesting, however.

I'm taking:

Constitutional Law
Evidence
Property
Contracts 2
Legal Writing / Research 2

Hopefully it will be an interesting semester.

That's an interesting way of looking at security, but don't most governments already ensure this? What's the need for a change of POV?

It's usually used in an international context. It's gaining some ground, because the UN is heavily pushing this (backed strongly by Japan and Canada). It lets you approach 'global vulnerabilities' from a different perspective. One of the difficulties in understanding it and applying it atm, is its vagueness because it's still very new.


It'll quote a part from the wikipedia article on Human Security regarding terrorism to get a better feel for it.

The global threat of terrorism is an important test case for the Human Security agenda Proponents argue that a Human Security approach would alleviate many of the deficiencies in a traditional, state-centered counter terrorist approach.[21] Traditional measures uses international sanctions or military force, which directs against a specific country but not a specific target. Besides human casualties and unnecessary economic dislocation, it also fuels the feelings of unrest that may elevate to conflicts. State-centered measures for internal security, such as detention without trial, body searches and night raids, also threaten to erode the very civil liberties it seeks to protect.[22]

Overall, human security proponents assert that these traditional measures seem to exacerbate the problem. They advocate that governments should focus on designing people-centered interventions to address enduring, underlying problems.

* Any intervention to address the threat of terrosim must be context specific, acknowledge local culture and historiography. Interventions requires time to demonstrate success, but inclusionary practices will be influential in achieving human security. Concessions can be made including rebuilding of social infrastructure, economic investment, the provision of trauma counselling, inclusion of religious figures and active programs for reconciliation. Participation of a diverse group of actors including policy-makers, private enterprises, public service providers and social entrepreneurs will foster neutrality. We need to listen, actively promote symmetry in dialogue, and be ready to accommodate alternative discourses on the experience of modernity.[23]

* Human security also emphasizes the protection of human rights and respect for the rule of law.[24] In many countries, some counter-terrorist measures violate human rights. Abuses include detention without judicial review; subjecting to torture during the transfer, return and extradition of persons between or within countries. They restrains citizens’ rights or freedoms, and breaches the principle of non-discrimination.[25] Such violations arguably serve to exacerbate the threat of terrorism. Human security argues that a failure to respect human rights in one state may undermine international effort to cooperate to combat terrorism[25], thus more effort should be invested in the effective inclusion of human rights protection.

* Human security further emphasizes the needs to address physical, psychological and political dimensions. The psychological aspect highlights that the violence of a traditional military response simply begets further violence, provokes and consolidates support for those groups.[26] Instead, sustainable victory in such conflict situations means “to win a battle for the society, for its mindsets and psychologies, to address sources of grievance and anxiety, and to shore up institutions of governance.”[27]

Holy shit, that's insane.

Tieno: Hmm, it sounds good and all, but would national govts. really be compelled to view things from this POV? Yeah, definitely seems more like an international movement more than anything.

I have to take something like this soon too. As far as I'm concerned, probably going to end up being a bunch of crap. Seriously, "ethics" can go to hell, as long as basic human rights are still honored.

I'm kinda interested in Japan too, but what kind of job are you going to get with this? I don't want to be a teacher or something like that.
 
Senior Mechanical Engineering Major:

Aerostructures
Design of Mechanical Elements
Design of Fluid/Thermal Elements
Mechanical Engineering Lab II
Senior Project
 
Psychology of Language
Language, Thought, and Action
Cognitive Processes
Evolutionary Psychology
Intro to Communication Studies (:D)

I'll drop one of the first two though. Only need 12 credits to graduate and taking either one will fulfill my two remaining requirements. So I'm going to go to each class and see which one looks easier and drop the other. But at the moment, I have to get ready for my first class of the semester now.

I just changed my major from Computer Information Systems to Economics in October. Do you have any job prospects lined up?

Because I changed majors, I had to change schools within my school (so long school of business, hello school of liberal arts) and subsequently have to take some pre-reqs for the new school. My schedule is:

Biology 101 (w/ accompanying lab and recitation) 5 hrs
History of Western Civilization (3 hrs)
Intro to Econometrics (3 hrs)

And, you know, working 50 hrs a week.
 
Last sem before graduation for me as well:

Economics of Latin America
Principles of Marketing
The Food Web
The Classical Tradition
Ice Skating

Yeah, mostly blowoff.
 
i just graduated, and i'm waiting to hear from grad school admissions for the fall. this means i have eight whole months to be unemployed, read books, play video games, and bond with my new puppy barrabas. i just finished freakonomics last night and started blink, as i'm trying to put a focus on self-educating in this brief pause in my life

3 of the classes I listed aren't even actually called that, I just forget their actual full names
 
writing my Master's thesis on a research project I did in South-Africa: "evolution of entry fitness of HIV-1 subtype C"
and doing an internship for health sciences journalism on internet :)
also considering epidemiology, so I can do an second master's next year in public health.
 
I coulda swore we already had this thread...(which we did) but meh, I need to procrastinate.

cj 1250 - intro to private security
cj 3500 - homeland security and terrorism
These two are the last two electives to complete my cj major.

soc 4950 - sociology senior seminar
Last required sociology class

soc 4890 - seminar in community leadership
For fun, goes down to the Gulf Coast to help with clean up (did it last year).

eng 4170 - beowulf and the heroic tradition
his 4320 - diplomatic history of the us
ssc 3080 - Nature & Scope: Social Class and Inequality: American Dilemma
All these are for fun.
 
Virology is a fun class.

Winter QUARTER (Quarter system ftw?)

Discrete Math II
Bioinformatics Computing
Biochemistry: Dynamics and Conformation
Beginning Japanese III
BioPerl

and continuing some independent research I have been doing since the fall of this year.
 
Biological Principles
Electronic Materials For Information Age
Linear Algebra For Engineers
Atomic & Molecular Structure Of Matter
Physics: Optics, Waves, and Particles

Second year courses, the only class I'm worried about is going to be physics. Everything else is suppose to be doable. Unfortunately, Brawl is coming out in a month which does not bode well for my grades.

i go to tulane. i love fluid mechanics....my thesis is in lung ventilation.


biostatics is completely useless, but my PI is making me take it because he's an asshole :lol

in reality, its going to be really easy (its taught in Public Health).


where do you go to school?
