Why on earth have we actually learn in University/College?

I just do not get it. Ask yourself, what you actually want to achieve from higher education level. My answer is because I want to learn something new and practical. Nevertheless, if you notice, that is not how it works in college/university. Memorizing is what most of us doing to get an A for most subjects except the one with calculation. Aren't the lecturers supposed to teach us something that we could use in real life for example how to fix our own PC, or even how to do well in presentation (interpersonal skills)? Of course there are other good examples but what I am saying is that why do we need to learn something that we cannot apply in real life. For instant, I was an IT student in college, learn about computer networking but the problem was at the end of the semester, none of us were able to setup a network between PCs. That is because all we did were memorizing the notes for the exams (mid-term and final exam) rather that "do" the networking and after a week, we forgot everything that we memorized.

During our secondary schools, we always argue why we have to take so many subjects, which of them are something that we are not interested? Surprisingly, I have no complained back then because I understood the concept. I called it AN OPTION. We take many subjects so that we can decide where we are going after that. If you do not like physics, do not take something that related with physics in college/university. So, we tend to memorize everything so that we won't see D in our report card. As simple as that. But the real issue now is I do not believed that the concept is going to work at university/college.

I have no problem with the system but the real problem will occur when we start to work for others. By that time, we will realize how important that is to have a practical experiences rather than memorizing theories. If you cannot remember something you can always go and find it on the internet or books but if you cannot do what they ask you to do, you are done. So anyone tell me, what can we do about it? Why do we spend a lot of money and time for something that is not worth it? Do we actually pay for the education or for the certificate?

Why can woman touch man first?

I have this feeling that many of you especially for male side probably asking the same question. Let me put it straight, woman on the title above mean someone who are not blood-related, or your wife/girlfriend – they are either you friends or totally stranger. Actually, I have several other questions that go under this category: -

  • Why is it inappropriate for a straight person (man) to touch a woman but you can touch her if you are gay?
  • Why woman can claim the person (man) who touched her and make a case out of it as a sexual harassment but not on the other hand (it will make the guy feel embarrassed)?
  • Why it will me you a jerk when you hit a woman but not when woman hit you?

Let me remind you of something. Isn’t it women who always wanted an equality between gender? Well, I am not against equality because I believed that everyone has their right to claim something that they feel is belong to them.

  1. Woman can touch other women = YES
  2. Woman can touch men = YES
  3. Man (gay) can touch women = YES
  4. Man can touch women = NO
  5. Man can touch other men = NO WAY!

As a man, I admit that I do not feel like want to touch other man because it will make me feel gay (lol). Even if we accidentally touch each other, we will pull our body part as soon as possible . As far as I concerned, most women feels that when they touch a man mean they want to be friendly with them and of course, we do not mind if they touch us but the theory does not apply the same way for us. Why can’t we do the same? I know some women out there do not mind if a man touches them but in general, most women think it is rude for a man to touch them without permission because they think that we have other "agenda" than just a friendly gesture.

Why most women hate sports?

Like I said earlier, for the whole life, I have been surrounded with questions that has almost no absolute answer. Well, maybe this is only happen to me and you might laugh but if you do have the answer, please share with me. I like people who have their own opinions on many aspects in life rather than take YES for the answer.

Back to the main question. Some of you may think that this question sound like a stereotype but I probably can say that at least 5 out of 10 women will say no if I ask them whether they like any sports. Not only they hate anything related to sports , they also hate when men watching sports (especially soccer). Here was my conversation with my ex-colleague: -

me: btw, do u like sport?
ex-colleague: err.. .not really loh.. depends on wat kind of sports
me: do u agree that women hate sport?
ex-colleague: not hate
ex-colleague: but just not like
ex-colleague: ehehe
me: lol.. thats the same thing
ex-colleague: female hormone is diff mah
ex-colleague: and our body figure tend to be more clumsy.. which makes most of us don't do well in sports.. we hate things tat we can't do well

I wonder maybe because of this: -

It is not fair for me to put the title "Why women hate sports?" because some of them enjoy or probably love sports more than guys (that's why I put the word "most". just in case. hehe). My theory are either they hates the smell of their own sweat or it has something to do with "do not want to mess up our makeup" or they hate it because when men watching sports, nothing in the world is matter anymore including their girlfriend/wife. What do you think?

Why Why-oo-Why?

Why? Why? WHY?

This is probably one of my favorites question. I always wondering and asking myself,
"Why must things happen this way and not the other way around?"
I wonder if any of you out there also faced the same dilemma too. Unfortunately, some of these questions are remains unsolved a.k.a X-Files and waiting for someone else to explain it to us. Hope you'll enjoy some of the questions that has been popped-up in my mind through all these years and maybe along the way we can "unsolved" the mystery together.
