C. P. Snow’s view on the two “separated” cultures, humanities
and science, has been especially prevalent in Western culture and poses a major
hindrance to the world’s problems because of its short sighted viewpoint
created over history with stereotypes. I interpreted Vesna’s “triangulation” of third culture
that incorporates arts, humanities, and sciences is truly a move away from
segregated intelligence and in my opinion, towards optimal intelligence.

In terms of "two cultures" I grew up as first generation Russian citizen, attending American school while living in a Russian-speaking household. Many sociologists study the second generation for assimilation patterns, to see how well people do relative to another.

I
always felt that art and science go hand in hand. Personally speaking I study
Geography but I started my educational career pursuing acting in a BFA
conservatory program that would so restrictive on time that learning other
disciplines were not advised. I was confused and for or this reason, I decided to change the path of
my education towards a more worldly and general major as Geography.

I paint and
do photography; in fact I make some of my living from it. I also read about
physics and other sciences as I feel they are necessary to understanding
reality and life in more theoretical sense and quantitative. These new perspectives change my thinking
for the better, since I am always feeling stuck in between choosing one or
another. Since I am not a financially wealthy person naturally, I always felt I
needed to sacrifice one dream for another in order to secure my survival.

These
new ideas will benefit me to begin putting both my left and right side of my
brain together and perhaps excavate a hidden genius in me. I can hopefully
connect my artistic vision to my scientific studies. I want to be a
well-rounded journalist who is not limited to a certain expertise
but is eloquent in all disciplines.
