Original Thinking
No full textHistory that comes to us as a chronology of events is really a collective existence that is evolving through several stages to develop Individuality in all members of the society. The human community, nation states, linguistic groups, local castes and classes, and families are the intermediate stages in development of the Individual. The social process moves through phases of survival, growth, development and evolution. In the process it organizes the consciousness of its members at successive levels from social external manners, formed behavior, value-based character and personality to culminate in the development of Individuality. Through this process, society evolves from physicality to Mentality. The power of accomplishment in society and its members develops progressively through stages of skill, capacity, talent, and ability. Original thinking is made possible by the prior development of thinking that organizes facts into information. The immediate result of the last world war was a shift in reliance from physical force and action to mental conception and mental activity on a global scale. At such times no problem need defy solution, if only humanity recognizes the occasion for thinking and Original Thinking. The apparently insoluble problems we confront are an opportunity to formulate a comprehensive theory of social evolution. The immediate possibility is to devise complete solutions to all existing problems, if only we use the right method of thought development
Effect of Double Decker Flyover Construction on Urban Fabric of Ashok Rajpath, Patna, India
Get PDFRapid urbanization and increase in number of vehicles has led to diminishing vehicular spaces on the street. This has led to construction of flyovers, which has dominated the streets. They reduce the “Sky-View” factor and has a put a serious threat to “Enclosure” widely used in Urban Design concepts. It has reduced the openness for the pedestrians and severely obstructed the views. This paper examines the effect of fly-over on the “Urban Fabric of an ancient street “Ashok Rajpath” of Patna, India

Development of a new mindset for eLearning Pedagogy: for the Teacher and the Learner
Get PDFTeaching, like learning, involves a personal journey. This researched narrative records the role of technology integration in one instructor’s teaching practice, and examines how literature in the field accounts for ways eLearning technologies have kept the author and her students engaged in the process of learning. Dr. Tara Ashok of the University of Massachusetts Boston chronicles the personal eLearning tool kit she has selected for effective delivery of contents in different teaching formats. She posits the importance of developing a new mindset to adapt to emerging technologies and examines the literature and her own experiences suggesting how and why, eLearning pedagogy must include a focus on the development of a flexible / growth mindset
