Introduction

• The multi-dimensional patterns of evolutionary have identified the increasing pace of divergence between the traditional and assimilated realities.

• The latter has captured the real complexity in the context of the duo- transitional effects between the social and academic interactions

• “New is not new” “Partial novelty has a higher degree of returns compared to Pure

novelty.” “ Pure novelty is a subset of partial novelty”

• Intra-disciplinary = mono mode of thinking – No diversification of mind – LL patching up, CU=0

• Inter-disciplinary = inter mode of thinking – LL diversification – ML patching up & catching up

• Multi-disciplinary = multi mode of thinking – HL diversification – HL patching up & catching up.

Selected Literatures on Conversational Analysis

George (2013) – Inter-disciplinary (Political socialization) – Los Angeles families

Antaki (2012)- Affiliative & disaffiliative candidate understandings

Nielsen (2012) – Initiation of presentation on the additional concerns.

Pomerantz (2012) – the association between reporting and claims of conversation.

Bao-Franch, Lorenzo-Dus, and Blitvich (2012)- non-verbal conversation (text based conversation)-Youtube.

Most of the observed literatures have just emphasized on the intra-disciplinary mode of thinking.

Results & FindingsSocial network (Facebook) A) Dear Scholars,

There will be a presentation on "India's growth model and current lessons" by Prof. Jayati Ghosh tomorrow (Wednesday) from 5.30 to 7pm at Faculty of Economics and Administration, UM. Hope you dont miss the opportunity to meet the famous economist. Thank you. (11 December 2012, 17.49)

DP : Thank you for this information, I have tweeted it with a link to your university (11 December 2012, 18.15)

VG: Please do let me know if the topic suits your interest, Ms. D (11 December 2012, 18.17)

DP: Only in so far as economics have a huge impact on my interest in topics related to social psychology. (11 December 2012, 18.21)

VG: Have you read a book on Animal spirits by Akerlof and Shiller(2009), Ms. Donna.? (11 December 2012, 18.25)

DP: I hadn't heard of it before, but it looks fabulous, thank you so much for sharing, I'm going to add it to my christmas list :-)(11 December 2012, 18.30)

VG: Animal spirits refers to the degree of optimism/pessimism that can influence the real economics activities and it is related to the psychology flow of economics, Ms. D. Do let me know if you want some articles on that concept, Ms. D. Now, the concept is related to the elements of trust, fairness, confidence and etc. (11 December 2012, 18.34)

DP: That is kind of you VG, once I start to plan out that part of my thesis I'll be in touch (11 December 2012, 18.44)

B) "Small is big". I would really appreciate if you could kindly proffer your opinions/comments based on the latter statement. (9 January 2013, 21.22)

DP : I suppose small things can have great meaning, this could be the meaning made from the way another person momentarily looks at you, or the scientific revolution that was created by the identification of the atom (9 January 2013, 21.45)

GT: it depends on the context of the text its used for, Mr G (10 January 2013, 10.01)

C) “Patching up or catching up”? (10 January 2013, 00.16)

SJ: Am still waiting the public lecture notes (10 January 2013, 09.54)

GT: which one you prefer. gopal..? (10 January 2013, 10.06)

SJ: Sorry VG (10 January 2013, 10.21)

VG: Which one do you prefer, Mr.Ganesh? You can just address me as Vignes. (10 January 2013, 11.00)

GT : Patching up (10 January 2013, 11.03)

VG: Whats your argument on that? it is not that easy to make a conclusion as the value of judgements and the assimilated reality differ from one to another in the context of complexity, Mr. GT. (10 January 2013, 11.07)

VG: I may need to delve into the internal aspects to find a solution for it (10 January 2013, 11.08)

GT: patching up means, solving problems....mr VG, im quite suprised what kind of English ur using here, but im proud of you, my friend..haha (10 January 2013, 11.22)

GT: catching up normally makes you secondary in life, but patching up makes you a better person in life...think about it, mr VG...(10 January 2013, 11.23)

VG: Well, thanks for commenting on my English in an impolite way as i know you are very professional than me, Mr. GT. I have my own arguments for it as it can be looked into the context of Segregated and holistic approaches. Are you sure that patching up can solve the overall problems from the context of individual and country basis? I have my thought on the dissection of catching up and patching up in buiding up the absorptive capacity of individuals and countries. (10 January 2013, 12.10)

• GT: and mr vignes, why are you complicating English..? make it simple and understandable..:)your explanation is based on which theory of life, mr VG..? I dont think its in general...lets see what mr DS has to say about this topic.. (10 January 2013, 13.02)

D) Are we “Yin or Yang”? (10 January 2013, 00.35) GT: Depends on the person again (10 January 2013,

10.07)

E) "No one is right and wrong" (30 March 2013, 14.09) SK: Everyone has their own perception in whatever they

do (30 March 2013, 18.30) VG: The above statement suits the interest of critical

thinking, Ms/Mrs. SK (30 March 2013, 18.44) SK: Absolutely, Mr. VG (30 March 2013, 19.28)

F) "Economics is a programming subject".Do you agree with me? (30 March 2013, 14.14)

PN : Seriously ? (30 March 2013, 14.15)

VG: If you follow the traditional rule of thought, you may consider economics as a social science. But, if you follow the rule of critical thinking, you may consider it as a programming subject/element. (30 March 2013, 14.17)

VG: What is your take on the latter statement, Ms. Perinba? (30 March 2013, 14.20)

PN : I agree Mr.V... well said (30 March 2013, 14.21)

VG: I feel that we have to build up the critical thinking among the students to enhance the pace of catching up and patching up.(30 March 2013, 14.23)

PN : Critical thinking is very important in most of the field of studies ..... :) (30 March 2013, 14.24)

VG: Are you focusing on intra-disciplinary or inter-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary, Ms. PN ..... (30 March 2013, 14.25)

PN: Guess multi-disciplinary would be the choice :)(30 March 2013, 14.26)

VG: Thats the reality, Ms. Perinba. (30 March 2013, 14.27)

G)If you follow the traditional rule of economics, you may see that it is the subject of social science. But, if you move away from the line of thought, you may realize the fact that economics is a multi-disciplinary lines of thoughts that will capture the critical and articulative aspects of interest. May I have your take on the subject of interest? (4 April 2013, 21.11)

• DN: Economics studies man’s life and work,not the whole of it, but only one aspect of it. It does not study how a person is born, how he grows up and dies, how human body is made up and functions,all these are concerned with biological sciences, Similarly Economics is also notconcerned with how a person thinks and the human organizations being these area matter of psychology and political science. Economics only tells us how aman utilizes his limited resources for the satisfaction of his unlimited wants, a manhas limited amount of money and time, but his wants are unlimited. He must sospend the money and time he has that he derives maximum satisfaction. This is thesubject matter of Economics. (5 April 2013, 01.42)

• DN: primitive society, the connection between wants efforts and satisfaction is close anddirect. But in a modern Society things are not so simple and straight. Here man produces what he does not consume and consumes what he does not produce. When he produces more, he has to sellthe excess quantity. Similarly he has to buy a product which is not produced by him. Thus the process of buying and selling which is called as Exchange comes in between wants efforts and satisfaction. Nowadays, most of the things we need are made in factories. To make them the worker gives his labour, the land lord his land, the capitalist his capital, while the businessman organizes the work of all these. They all get reward in money. The labourer earns wages, the landlord getsrent the capitalist earns interest, while the entrepreneur’s (Businessman) reward is profit. Economics studies how these income—wages, rent interest and profits-are determined. This process in called “Distribution: This also comes in between efforts and satisfaction.Thus we can say that the subject-matter of Economics is1. Consumption- the satisfaction of wants.2. Production- i.e. producing things, makingan effort to satisfy our wants3. Exchange- its mechanism, money, credit,banking etc.4. Distribution – sharing of all that isproduced in the country. In addition,Economics also studies “Public Finance

DN: i can safely conclude that eco is a multi dicipline course of study cos it answers man daily questions. (5 April 2013, 01.48)

VG: You were right by putting up your arguments in a partial way, Mr. DN. First and second parts of the messages have indicated the traditional way of evaluations on the subject of economics. In the case of complexity economics, it will take up the issues such as environmental risk, cybercrime, the psychological evaluation of stakeholders and etc. In a real world, economics can take up the subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, Biology and so on. Yes, I do agree with you that economics is a reflection of multi-disciplinary lines of thoughts. (5 April 2013, 07.25)

VG: Thanks for sharing your thoughts of interest, Mr. DN (5 April 2013, 07.40)

GA: Economics impinges on multifaceted aspects of social life. From education, poverty to crime and political rhetoric, all are underpinned by the desire for effectiveness, efficiency and value for money. As a criminologist, I have been intrigued by political endeavours and responses to crime problems.

• Not to generalise too much, the most appropriate (not necessarily the most successful) responses have economics and social development at their roots. (6 April 2013, 03.13)

• GA: To add to above, economics and political aspirations are intertwined. You cannot have one without the other. Looking good in terms of dealing with criminality (in its various forms) necessitates a cost-benefit analysis. I do not necessarily agree with these crude endeavours however this is seemingly how governments rate or provide funding. (6 April 2013, 03.18)

• VG: Well, you got it by putting up your thoughts of interest by connecting it with internal aspects of government and you were right by bringing out the statement that "Economics impinges on multifaceted aspects of social life" Mr. Gareth. Cost-benefit analysis is a subset of feasibility study and the latter works out things in a more complex way as it moves from the intra to multi levels of approaches, Mr. Gareth.In that case, we can bring ine psychological aspects of interest to capture the internal nature of stakeholders or agents. We should have the intellectual interactions between the aspects of interest with regardless of the disciplines or subjects to manage the pace of complexity, Mr. G. (6 April 2013, 07.04) GA: Vignes, that is very true. The internal nature of stakeholders promotes a need to understand habitus according to Bourdieu. Saying that, this is more complex in understanding the roots to which policy is implemented at the operational level. Economics in this regard provides the framework to which agencies attempt to adhere to policy directives. However these are not easily admissible or determinant at the source of action... (6 April 2013, 07.27)

H) JG : Hi, thank you for adding me. I hope I can contribute well to your discussions. (6 April 2013, 07.27)

VG: You are welcome, Ms. J. Looking forward to your articulative and critical discussions on the issues of interest, Ms. J. (6 April 2013, 09:38)

VG: Nice to have you here, Ms. J (6 April 2013, 10.17)

I) To, Mr. DN, Mr. G, and Ms. J,

I hope that we can do some joint papers on certain aspects of interest in the future.

From, Vignes

(6 April 2013, 09.39) DN: @ mr vignes sure why not so long we cross fertilise ideas and

arrive @ common interest... (6 April 2013, 10.03)

VG: Thank you, Mr. DN. Looking forward to the exciting articulation of ideas in our upcoming joint papers, sir. (6 April 2013, 10.21)
