Of 4 C's, 3 P's and 7 S's
I have always hated studying for and writing papers for HR courses, they being among the most globe courses, i.e. we have to bluff our way through them to the greatest possible extent. I wondered why ennui struck the moment the name of HR was mentioned, given that the idiosyncrasies of humans and their unsurpassed ability to deviate from logic and reasoning in their behavior was reason enough to render the subject interesting. Maybe it is the fact that there is a tendency to classify every theory or observation into an existing model and explain it by known and studied standards. Or it could be the ambitious desire to try to comprehend and provide a rational explanation for every human action. Why is that necessary? Why does there exist an urgency to fathom every aspect of human behavior, relate it to something someone has previously done and fit it into a strait jacket?

This urge to encapsulate everything into pre-ordained boxes and seek out an underlying rationale behind it all, it is that irrational futility that restricts academia to being just itself, and nothing more. When it could be so much more than just academia, crashing under its own expectations. So much for logic. And reasoning.
hehe..i know where u are coming from..having never understood the damn subject myself
