I think there were some probs. associated with its affiliation in the past. But even if its afilliated, there's no point in doing graduation from RAI b'coz no private college till date has an affiliation to the most prestigious uniiversity of India that is Delhi University.\nRegards\nt$k\nhttp://tsk911.hi5.com

I would say because people do not realize the full extent of how important teachers are, because without them who are you to say you would be who you are today.  I would say that the world is too caught up on celebrities and sports and things like that, that make so much more money it is ridiculous.  So I would have to say that people do not realize the importance of teachers and the amount of money they get paid, when the reward (their students) is priceless.

At one time an honorary degree was given to someone who had never earned a degree from a college or university but who had distinguished themselves in a certain field in such an exemplary manner that a school would choose to honor that person by granting them a degree based upon their life work.\n\nSadly, today many honorary degrees are motivated by politics and money as schools seek to win favor with special interest groups and generate publicity for themselves by granting a degree to someone who hasn't really demonstrated the degree of understanding that the average graduate from the school system was required to possess to pass their finals.\n\nTo answer your question more specifically, an honorary degree will not allow someone to engage in work like medicine or any other field that is regulated by the law and that requires certain educational standards to be met. It just gives a person a prestigious title.

At least in India, people do not copy any one in the world. But we accept what is good in terms of values even if it is foreign, like in classical music there is influence of both the west and the middle-east. Ours is an eclectic culture and that is why we assimilate from all directions and make it our own.

They are both intelligent, but in different ways. This is a values question, not an intellegence one. A person can be a genius in science and not have a clue about asthetics, or music or literarture. The same can be true of the arts student, who can be a creative genius, but finds math difficult. These areas of study use different parts of the brain, and most people are stronger in some areas than others. It is a disservice to tell bright children that they can be anything they want to be-it would be better to tell them to find out what they are best at, and give them the resources to run with it. It is a mistake to value science over the arts, or vice versa- we need them both.

In defence of the Arts, I'll pretend you asked, "Is academia about research or protecting the reputation of the Professors?"\n\nDepends on the institute. If it's of a professional standard and publishing regularly, then regardless of what the professors would have their students and subordinates do, external critics from other institutes will waste no mercy on poor quality research.

In olden days, the Doctorate profession was honoured a lot(It still is now) and if you were a doctor, you were like God. So generations after generations have been filled with the word DOCTOR in their minds. It is basically for the High Salary. People naturally want more money for a better life, so, those days only a DOCTOR could fulfill that. But these days EDUCATED Indians are not forcing their children in the field of Medicine. That Doctor Thingy still continues in the rural part of India though.

It depends on what others with the same amount of experience, talent and seniority are earning in the same industry.\n\nPeople seem to forget that their employers are not required to cover their lifestyle expenses or student loans - thay are required to pay a wage or salary in return for services provided.  If you can't afford to work for this gallery, find another.

this is part of what they are taught in school. that they are the elite of society and that they are to spread their knowledge amoungst the uneducated people. this happens at every level of education, even those with "only a Master's" are looked down upon and are not considered as refined or as well versed as those with PhDs. What most people don't realize, is that they learned only what they were taught, this doesn't make them anymore wise that anyone else necessarily... it just makes them more knowledgable in certain subject matter.

How is this in any way related to science?\n\nTry over in Arts and Humanities.

Depends on the country and the costs involved. There are certain specialist subjects that are considered better taught in countries outside of the UK and the USA but the funding and sponsorship these colleges and universities receive from governments and business is essential in maintaining an edge in the education market.

I like the B.A. myself, I think it is more rounded, but a B.S. is more traditional for a science related field.  In general, however, most employers won't care much one way or the other.

i agree with you that some people who have been prez in the past wernt worthy of the honour.\n\nthey were unable to rise above petty politics and act independently.\n\nfor eg.\n\ngyani jail singh\nk.r. narayanan
