Lecture # 11

5.1 Noam Chomsky, Amartya Sen, Richard Rorty,
Gaspar, John Rawls, Stephen Hawkins
-
5.1.3 Noam Chomsky is opponent of American Freedom and claims it to be the cause of social destruction
5.1.1 Noam Chomsky argues that with the strengthening of technology why market has strengthened and not the human faculty
-
5.3 even today Farsi, and Arabic are taught at Madrassahs
-
5.5 new generation was born with the advent of TV, it was the new market and viewers rode on it
-
-
5.8 the mobile/neck-down generation followed next, where technology is harnessing human. Glocalization is very much evident
5.9 the concept of time-saving has been highlighted with every new technology but on the other hand human values are deteriorating. Market and commoditization is on the rise
5.10 Governance-success model is aptly in action in Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and they rank the highest on the technology index but they are considered the top lazy nations with disrupted human relations populated by an old generation
5.12 Canada has lenient immigration policy for Asian citizens to compensate for their decreasing and ailing population
-

2.6 every number is supported by cause-effect relationship, without this number has no value/interpretation
-
2.8 numbers reflect philosophy of trends/behaviors (obtained from the data of devices used by a particular civilization). Numbers are also used for forecasting future trends based on the existing data
2.9 with the advent of Science, the theory of cause-effect was adopted and numbers were used to depict trend.
Cause informs about the effect which created it, which in turn shows the trend and this trend is depicted through a number. Resultantly, number is disentangled from quality and attached to human trend, philosophically. #
2.10 Cause-effect theorem represents numbers in philosophy. emergent deliberations are reflected through trends and characteristics which are defined through the theorem. This theorem is not neutral so as the numbers generated
2.11 Research Questions generated, which are supported by some philosophy, are not neutral
-
-
2.14 Research Questions used in a study define characteristics/indicators which are depicted through numbers. These numbers, non value-neutral, are taken from some purpose and would reflect some purpose
-
-
2.17 types of number
2.17.3 interpretivist: number-benefit analysis is done,
would give multiple interpretations by virtue of logic
2.17.4 Realism: numbers are used as how one wants the society to be, make it accordingly
-
2.17.2 positivism: numbers are used inclusively, collectively for trickle down purposes
2.18 Policy: previously it was qualitative in nature, now it is based and gauged on numbers which give benchmark

- Two Schools of Thought
(number and characteristic: which precedes the other?)
3.1 every number possess a characteristic, which aids in bringing it to conclusion (Slavoj Zizek)
3.2 Rene Descartes was of the opinion that its the characteristic which governs and determines the number
-
4.2 Arabic lexicography is based on quantification of characteristics, it is considered as one of the comprehensive world languages
-
4.3 Arabic has three filter: gender, characteristic, quantity
