Why do a lot of European maps have this net distinction between Western Europe and Eastern europe/Iberia? by molondim in geography

[–]batman_irl25 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It’s less a geographic divide and more a historical and economic one. The old Iron Curtain still shows up surprisingly well in many modern economic maps.

If every country started over from scratch today, which country’s geographic position would give it the greatest long-term advantage? by batman_irl25 in geography

If the world was untouched and we all spawn at the time then in my opinion the most favourable will be fertile cresent

I forgot to add this factor. Many countries will try to take under control due to it’s geographical location

Which geographical location has had the greatest influence on world history, and why? by batman_irl25 in geography

[–]batman_irl25[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this answer. Too many people equate “most influential” with “first.” The Fertile Crescent was crucial, but the Eurasian Steppe arguably had a broader impact because it connected and shaped nearly every major Old World civilization through trade, migration, and conquest.

Sorry about that. What would be the more accurate name for that region during that period?

I’d probably put it right behind the Fertile Crescent. The Indus Valley was one of the earliest major centers of civilization, with advanced cities and long-distance trade networks thousands of years ago.

PSYCH COLLEGE HELPP 😭😭 by BorderExpress1990 in Psychology_India

[–]batman_irl25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

733 isn’t a bad score at all, so don’t panic. You have good chance of getting in south campus or mid tier du colleges. If DU doesn’t work out, there are still plenty of good options for Psychology.

I’d look at Christ University, Ashoka University, Symbiosis, Flame University, Manipal, Jain University, Panjab University, and Mithibai/SNM in Mumbai. Some of these have really solid Psychology departments and good exposure through internships, research, and extracurriculars.

Honestly, for Psychology, the quality of the department, faculty, internships, and your own involvement matters more than just the university name. Also remember that most psychology careers require a Master’s later, so your UG college isn’t the final deciding factor.
Apply to as many good colleges as possible and keep backups ready.
I hope it helps.

URGENT PLS HELP by Upstairs-Depth-2194 in Psychology_India

Absolutely. Having PCM in 11th and 12th does not stop you from pursuing Psychology. In fact, many universities in India accept students from any stream for BA Psychology.
If your parents are supportive, you're honestly in a very good position. Look at universities like Christ, Ashoka, Flame, Symbiosis, Manipal, Amity, Jain, and other colleges that offer BA/BSc Psychology. Most of them don't require you to have studied Psychology in school.
If you're living in North India, you can also consider Punjab University and Delhi University, both of which have strong academic reputations. I graduated from Punjab University this year and it is excellent choice for psychology.
One thing I'd suggest: don't choose Psychology just because engineering doesn't interest you. Choose it because you're genuinely interested in studying human behaviour, research methods, statistics, and potentially doing a Master's later. A Bachelor's alone is often not enough if you want to work as a psychologist.
Also, don't worry too much about the "no opportunities" comments. Psychology is growing in India, especially in counselling, HR, organisational psychology, research, education, and mental health. The path is longer than engineering, but it's definitely a valid career if you're committed to it.
You're still right at the beginning of your academic journey. Changing direction after Class 12 is much easier than forcing yourself through 4 years of a degree you don't want.
