environment is my academic interests since I was young because my parent always used to bring me to natural park. When I went to university, I learned in faculty of Political. It might seem irrelevant with environmental issue, but actually all of environmental issue in Thailand is run by policies. Moreover, I also involve the environmental activities, such as going to rural camping, internship at a local fishery community, or joining into the conservative mangrove forest group. Now, I am waiting for the university's offer for study in master degree about environmental sociology. I think that is very interesting because this discipline is about the relationship between societies and environment.
ReplyDeleteMy academic interests are environmental problems especially soil and water aspects. They are interesting because our life relate with them. For example, we need soil and water for agriculture which is source of our food, we need to have water to survive, and we need to have soil to stay. Because both of them are important for our life, it is interesting to focus on them how they are and what happen with them.
ReplyDeleteMy academic interest is about the global economic. Since i have learned about the development of globalization at my university, i have realized that the apprehension of this process is considerable for me to enhance my critical skill on what the current world is depended on.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in science that related to genetics. I think it's a mysterious knowledge. I used to do an elective in Neurology Disease. I found that there are a lot of illness take part in genetics and it cannot be cured. Most patient got their palliative care to lenghter their life. Even we found out what is the defect bt way to treat them is still far to be in the normal state of healthy. I wish I could do more experiment or join in some clinical research.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in about company's strategy. I don't know the name of the academic feild, ecomomy? or business?... there are some companies which make a good profit while the others are stragling in a recessiion. Apple got a big share in a mobile phone supplier because of its smart phone "iphone" bacame a popular all over the world. Now everyone knows conmpany's name "Samsung" from south korea but it wasn't major company just years ago. Their strategy is sucsessful
ReplyDeleteMy first real academic interest was science, which began when I started high school. Actually, even when I was in primary school, I liked to get books from the library about how things worked, and how to do things. For example, making pictures with soap paint. I read about that in a book about something I don't actually remember. I mixed up the soap to make a stiff foam, added some paint, and smeared the result on paper. It didn't work very well, and my artistic gifts at age 10 were about as good as they are today, but I didn't care about the results, it was learning the process and seeing how it worked that interested me. I also got my aunts to teach me to knit because how it worked fascinated me, but I never made a single useful thing.
ReplyDeleteThe science that first caught my interest by botany, which was easy to indulge because my family lived on a farm, so I had trees growing in pots, read up on flowers, and then cells,and then biology generally.
When I got to high school, I learnt about chemistry, and that was better because it seemed deeper than biology. Biology seemed like a type of chemistry, so chemistry became my number one interest for a while. Oddly, I wasn' very interested in experiments, which didn't usually work for me, but it was the understanding that I loved.
Chemistry didn't stay number for long, though, because there was also physics, and mathematics. I loved mathematics because it was so perfect - if you proved something in mathematics, it was really proved, forever.
Althouh I went to private religious schools, my teachers very open minded, and my maths teacher in senior high school introduced me to philosophy. That didn't do much for my religious beliefs, but it did give me a new academic love that has stayed with me ever since, although the areas of philosophy that most interest me have changed over over teh years.
Today, I still read in philosophy, especially ethics, epistemology, logic and philosophy of science.
I graduated from the Faculty of Law, Thammasat university. After I graduated, I'm now studying at the institute of Legal Education of the Thai Bar.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoyed studying law. I started to interested in law when I was in high school. I had studied the fundamental law subject and I found myself enjoying it. The faculty of Law was my first choice when I took the admission examination and I passed the admission to be a law student.
Even if it's really hard to read tons of book, I still love to learning new things in different kinds of law. I think law is a very challenging. When I face some legal cases and have to find the related law to solve that case, It's really challenging and fun.
I didn't study the specific major in the Bachelor degree, so I will choose the interesting specific law to study further for master degree next year. It would be helpful for me to pursue my career in the future.
I am interested in Science subject when I was younger. Because my older sister that she was a doctor that it make my inspiration. I thought that careers was a great because they can help people and they were very difficult. When I grow up I change my mind because I quite sure I cannot enter in that subject. So, I am interested in engineering program when I know someone who are very excellent. That person is Dr. Ardaong Na Ayouthaya, who invented the base of spacecraft that it is great and modern devices.
ReplyDeletemy academic interests are Education and Psychology. I haven't been to study Education. but now I'm teaching piano to Korean or Thai student. when I teaching them, I really enjoying but I need my teaching scale or good method. so I read lot of book about Education. And sometimes I go to lectures in Korea. if I have a chance, I want to study Education. also i like Psychology. when i teach my students. I know people depend on their personality. I enjoy read Psychology books too.
ReplyDeleteI interesting about UFO. I saw in many website about UFO. But I don't know it's real or not. But I never saw it. UFO is strange story for me. When I was young,I think it's not true. But now I think it may be real. Because in many website told about Area 51,it's the place for research about something came from outside the world. Some website told that it's a secret area.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I graduated from major of accounting for Bachelor's degree. However, I realized that I do not like this subject at all. At that time, I think it is too boring and too many regulations and laws involved. Although I thought that, It's too late to change the major. So I told myself, just tried as best as I can. After that, I got a great job in a big multinational company. With warm environment there, I really enjoyed working and adapted myself to other colleagues. For a few months after training, I realized that every businesses or even a school needed policies, procedures, rules to control and enforce people to follow them. That what I thought when I was in the university was just a kid's thought not the real one. What I imagined to the real world after I graduated was very different. It is not matter subject that I like or not. It depends on how I could live with happiness and without problems to other people, as well as earn for living just by myself are more important. This was a big step from my academic life I got through.
ReplyDeleteI love dogs and have four. When they are sick, it is hard for me to find good doctors or good hospitals to take care my puppies. So I tried to learn something by myself to make them healthy or how can I take care of them initially. I start learning about the diseases of dogs and how to protect my dogs from them. Moreover, I learn about drugs that use for my dog's sickness, so I can use them correctly.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, eating right is also important for dogs as well as human. There are something that dogs should not eat. I am interested in learning what foods are good or bad for dogs and why. For example, dogs should not eat chocolate because it has a chemical that toxic to dog's brain. It can lead to their death.
i'm quite interest in learning culinary course. i like to cook wonderful meals for everyone in my house and it might be a good career if i did well. the problem is i like to cook western dishes like mediteranian style but my parents don't really like it. then, who i'm going to cook for. however, after passing the course, i might be a good chef, it is not going to mean anything if there is no one like it. Perhaps, i should learn chinese food instead because my parents pefer to eat chinese one and i don't mind as long as i can enjoy preparing ingredients, creating new menu and concentrating on spelling the marvellous taste.
ReplyDeleteFor my academic interests, i have several interests. Firstly, i'm interest in human resource field because this kind of field is really fun and enchant so i would like to study this kind of field for my master degree.It can be link with my personality that make me to love managing people, it is because i'm an outgoing and friendly person. Secondly, i'm interested in environment and agriculture. it is because I familiar with agriculture business since i was born.
ReplyDeletesince i graduated from journalism and mass communication for so long and i had been working on film industry in many years. all work experiences teach me that i love working in this business. i would like to understand the business more in term of international prospect and try to find myself what is the position in the film industry that I am fit in the most. so i try to find some place that can gain me new experience about film making. no matter what the way it is. i mean it might not just the way to get a degree from university but it might be how I am spending my life or living in new country to get more life's experience. actually, the good chance might be study another kind of art and let's new knowledge mix with the old one you may produce an new interesting idea.
