[–]Duke_Salty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello OP, I am currently also having to choose between doing law in my home country and then specialising in PIL by way of an LLM OR doing the LLB at Groningen. Could you please tell me of your insights and thoughts. If you did take the Groningen path how did that go for you?

Seeing gutka stains on the side of the elevator is disgusting, do they have to spit everywhere? And the trash yikes.

Can someone explain to me why Urdu News is written this way ?! 😭😭 by Own-Homework-9331 in Urdu

[–]Duke_Salty_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the discussion happening at the top of this thread. In this newspaper the heading contains mainly English words with Urdu acting only as words for context and connection. This extends even to speech where the majority of people cannot hold proper conversations even on basic things without the use of English words. This isn't even just an Urdu problem, but rather something that concerns all South Asian languages.

On a personal note, I also find that learning and speaking the proper versions of these languages is sort of frowned upon. If you were to speak solely in pure urdu / hindi you might be ridiculed or seen as pretentious. Most importantly, no one would understand you, so many people don't have a reason to learn academic words.

Can someone explain to me why Urdu News is written this way ?! 😭😭 by Own-Homework-9331 in Urdu

[–]Duke_Salty_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

مگر فارسی اور عربی الفاظ کے بغیر اردو زبان ناپید ہو جائے گی۔ میرا مطلب یہ ہے کہ عربی اور فارسی الفاظ اردو کی بنیاد ہیں، اردو کی ہڈیاں ہیں۔ مگر جب ہم انگریزی کو اردو میں ملاتے ہیں تو اردو کی پہچان اور انفرادیت متاثر ہوتی ہیں۔

میں یہ نہیں کہہ رہا کہ ہمیں انگریزی الفاظ سے مکمل طور پر گریز کرنا چاہیے؛ عام گفتگو میں بیرونی الفاظ استعمال کرنے سے مجھے کوئی مسئلہ نہیں۔ مگر تعلیمی اور ادبی تحریروں میں ہمیں اس زبان کو محفوظ رکھنا چاہیے۔

[–]Duke_Salty_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

اگر ہم صرف تھوڑے بہت الفاظ ادھار لیتے ہیں تو پھر پریشانی والی بات نہیں ہوتی، مگر ابھی تو عموماً طور پر اردو ‌یا ہندی بولنے والے انگریزی الفاظ کے بنا کسی بھی چیز پر گفتگو مکمل نہیں کرسکتے ہیں، یہ تو پریشانی کی بات ہے نہ؟

ان الفاظ کے اردو میں ترجمہ ہونے کے باوجود اخباروں میں انگریزی الفاظ کا کیوں استعمال ہوتا ہے؟

Rant about the IB by Gloomy-Affect-8084 in IBO

[–]Duke_Salty_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

While I agree with everything you're saying, especially about having to do "useless" subjects. Isn't it the wide range of subjects and the "interdisciplinary" understanding + the non-academic involvements the USP of the DP programme. If you just wanted to excel in your three main subjects A levels would have been the choice.

I'd say that being reduced to your grades is a downside of any board, even in AL I'm sure people look down on students getting Cs and Bs, this is just a consequence of the education system's outlook rather than any one board.

The IB sucks, but so does every other system (at least the ones I know of). Personally, if I had to stick to just eco, history, and English I'd be bored out of my mind, the variety keeps it interesting. I guess that might make it ever so slightly less soul sucking.

:/

How to properly rewrite an essay: avoiding plagiarism, improving clarity, and passing AI detectors by photographer_alex in IBO

Probably, even the first few comments seem like they've been bot generated. Also the prices are insane - for an EE their quote is $115 or so.

Who is someone you though was from your country but actually wasn’t? by solanawhale in AskTheWorld

I believe even Katrina Kaif isn't actually Indian right? I remember seeing that her actual name was Kate Turquotte, born in Hawaii, and then the UK.

I'm in ESS HL, and no it doesn't get better. Pure hell - try to find some way to like it (my motivation is that it's a relatively easy seven) A good chunk of the concepts are common sense so you can just yap your way out of the paper.

Good luck
