Startling Concept Essay but Bemusing Background



I believe that the users of Wikipedia will approve my observation that many of the philosophy, arithmetic and concept articles are really of good quality. One can learn from them. It is very difficult to learn and imbibe the actual meaning of concepts in the field of sciences. You have to read again and again the same thing and as many elaboration on a concept in order to fully appreciate the meaning behind the concept. Some of the articles in these categories on Wikipedia are worth praising.

However, today I came across an article on Open System and Closed System which covered the definition for different field of knowledge. I was really impressed by the opening lines. I reached this article while I was trying to search for Reinhart Koselleck, a theorist in History. But this article has studied the relevance of concept of open system and closed system for all the sciences. Before, I read further, as it is a practice with me, I tried to check the discussion and also the edit history. There was no discussion as such. However, in edit section, I found that it was a fresh article which was just started in the month of April 2009. The writer is one Nbaig. I tried to check the User link. I found that the same article appears there also. Similarly, in the Discussion section of the User, I found that he was well received by one Marcel Douwe Dekker but again below his invitation and welcome message the article again reappeared. It is surprising. Should the Wikipedia veteran Editors look into this incongruity!? It must be taking unnecessary space on their server. I have yet to read the whole article but this feature has diverted my attention.

Anti-social behaviour - A Concept: First here: Random




Anti-Social Behaviour: Well it is a concept for Sociology and Psychology. It is categorised as such by the Wikipedia editors. For this blog, I believe that it is the first 'Concept' to be reached through Random article. I am not sure how I reached this article. I was actually doing my own work and had left the computer. When I again accessed the computer, I found it here. Generally in between my reading and writing I give gaps, a type of recess, a type of rest to self. It is then that I open news boards, newspapers and Wikipedia. It generally happens that I do not care to check out that on which sheet what result has appeared as my ultimate task is something else. Anyhow, I was soon attracted towards it.

For we teachers in the social sciences, concept are very vital. For the common man, they convey some meaning but for the scholars in the field of knowledge, they have a specific meaning as they are the terminology in which the scholars deal the knowledge in their field. Hence, this article qualifies to be on this blog.

From the discussion, which is presently very less, it seems that it is a product of the editorial team itself who have used Wikitionary to write this concept. No doubt, it lacks a peculiar content standard.

On the other hand, it has given me new meanings also. Anti-Social as a concept is mainly a sociology concept. In sociology, the anomaly group activities and harming activities are seriously studied. However, herein some new dimensions, like the activities on internet have been suggested. Further, they have also covered it under a third category about which I was not aware and that is Law and here especially UK law.

There is need to improving the content standard of this article.
