Pathum's Campus Diary

  For many families, sending their children to the closest school seems like a simple decision. It is close by, making travel simple and practical, and frequently has connections to the neighbourhood. Is the closest school always the greatest choice, though? This blog post will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of going to the nearest school. Attending the closest school has a number of benefits, including location. A shorter journey for students who go to a nearby school can lower stress levels and provide them with more time for extracurricular activities. As students are more likely to know neighbours who also attend the school, attending a nearby school can also give them a sense of community and belonging. Attending the closest school in some situations might also result in more active participation in extracurricular activities because it is simpler to attend events organized at the school. While going to the closest school has advantages, it also has disadvantages. The fact tha

  An effective and worthwhile strategy for understanding and solving complicated issues is system thinking. By allowing us to see problems as components of bigger systems and taking into account how various components come together it helps us gain a deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics and patterns. Support of a full and interrelated approach to problem-solving is one of the benefits of systems thinking. It is frequently possible to find underlying causes and connections when viewing issues from a wider angle than when taking a more limited one. This can result in better tactics and solutions that deal with problems' underlying causes rather than just their symptoms. However, applying systems thinking has many disadvantages and difficulties. The complexity of the systems itself is one of the biggest challenges. Many structures in the real world have plenty of interconnected parts and feedback loops, making them extremely complicated. Due to its complexity, it may be cha

A person's general evaluation or view of something or someone is referred to as their A ttitude. It is a reflection of how someone feels, acts, and thinks about a certain issue or situation. Positive, negative, or neutral attitudes all have an impact on how we see the world and behave. Optimism, confidence, and passion are characteristics of positive attitudes. People with positive attitudes frequently believe they can succeed and see the best in others. Instead of focusing on issues, they tackle challenges with a can-do attitude and search for solutions. Positive attitudes spread easily and can encourage others to adopt similar points of view, which produces more favourable results. On the other side, negativity, cynicism, and scepticism define negative attitudes. People with negative attitudes frequently see the worst in people and think they are powerless to accomplish their objectives. They approach problems with a discouraged mindset and might easily give up, which results in
