Hi! Aseem. I could help you better if I would to know what is your field and goals (master degree, doctor degree, post doctorate, etc.). But, I think that you will satisfy some of your curiosities for to acess the link below. This is one the best brazilian universities. Concept 6 and 7 in engineering. So, may be what you are looking for. International applicants can be accepted, but, the classes are in portuguese (would be easiest if you would be from Goa...), only. They have a process for to select the applicants. In general, it consists of a test (write),a oral interview and an analysis of your curriculum.

Yes, "thesis" is the typical word used in English. If it's for a doctoral degree, like a PhD, it's usually called a "dissertation".
2 :
Thesis usually refers to a published work in a master's or doctoral degree. You can just say final project or capstone project.

Try http://babelfish.altavista.com/. Be careful though -- sometimes the translations are a bit, shall we say, creative. It's good though for getting the basics quickly and then correcting any mistakes.

There is a good site: http://free-translation.imtranslator.com/. But you have to be very careful because these kinds of site so strict transliteration, a word for word translation. The meaning can be very confusing or completely lost upon translation. So things are very cultural in meaning and the context in which they are said can change their meanings.

www.freetranslation.com very good site. have fun!

Open mindedness and critical thinking is not necessary for studying courses at college. College requires one to commit their self. If you want to be open minded, detach yourself. Critical thinking, in general, refers to higher-order thinking that questions assumptions. It is a way of deciding whether a claim is true, false, or sometimes true and sometimes false, or partly true and partly false. I'm a great critical thinker, but I dropped out of college because I couldn't commit myself. You don't need to be naturally good at spotting fallacies, you don't need keep questioning assumptions. Scientists use the scientific method to gain knowledge, not critical thnking. All critical thinking has done for me is make me atheist, antinatlaist, and a determinist (no free will)... While I am proud that I can view reality objectively, I don't have the knowledge of a mechanic, or a biologist. In england, universities don't accept people who've completed the critical thinking course. That's how irrelevant it is.

you just have to be willing to consider other people's differences and then accept them but not judge I think. I'm not sure i understand the detached comment... I think by saying detached you mean don't let your feelings/church/pre-taught views get in the way by judging others and then missing out on the experience? I don't like the word "detached" though because to me it implies that you do not feel. I think you need your feelings to really appreciate other cultures though, to see things from their perspective... walk in their shoes for a mile or two. no?

by stop being so humble and for a starter give your criticism like grading thing like a lessen. do not be rude and try to show the right way. dont shout and od not be angry. just tell that this is not true give reason and proof and show what is the real situation. understand that most of the cases have more than two sides. sometimes you can choose neither or both.
4 :
Critical thinking is not an open minded process. It has to narrow down all thinking to procedures that demand exact results and does not give in to ideas that may not pertain to it. Open mindedness in this case is sort of like allowing personal biases to run the show. Non of which are true to the objective in reality. Open minded only where it relates directly to the object. Otherwise close minded to all ideas that are not related. Another one of those subjective objective issues.
5 :
As you know, there are always 2 or more positions on every issue or controversy. Make it your business to really understand the view of your opponents, critics, adversaries, rivals, and enemies, as well as you understand your own view and the views of people you like, love and support. That will force you to see that even people and groups you really don't like have some good points, and are not entirely wrong. This is the approach generally taught by scholars and academics. But, in my view, being too open minded and thinking critically too much is a disaster too. Scholars and academics seem to be among the most unhappy people in the world. They seem unable to ever commit to anything, never able to really take sides, or really make firm decisions. They remain too distanced from life itself so that they can study life. But that does not make a good life, in my view. To have a good life, you must get in, be in, and stay in the thick of things. You must take sides, make commitments, and keep those commitments no matter what.

You should try to stop thinking of yourself as a human being. Okay I know it sounds pretty stupid, but hear me out. When you try to think critically, don't think of yourself as... yourself, because then you'll form a biased opinion only taking into consideration what YOU feel. Step out of your own skin, so to speak. Think of yourself as someone, like a deity, I suppose, who sees the opposed parties or choices as equal and decides what to think based on the advantages and disadvantages of each "option". This is a really deep question. I could rattle on about it for ages, so I'll shut up now. Hope I helped! (:

You cannot. What you describe is impossible. An open mind is ruined. It allows anything to come in. Garbage in, garbage out. What You See Is What You Get. A closed mind is stale and will not support life or growth. What you want is a filtered mind. You want to keep the garbage out and allow the good in. Like a garden, you need both weeding and fertilizer. Else your garden will not thrive. How is this accomplished? You use something called sound judgment. This is based upon trustworthy standards and definitions. Do not accept everything. Try it against known standards and definitions. If it is false, then reject it. If it is true, then accept it. Open minds are accidents waiting to happen. Do not fall into that trap.

No, not at all. If you are a citizen here you will not have a problem for re entry into the US or to enter Brazil (since your crime was not comitted there). The only things that will cause you a problem is if you are on Parole or probation, as you will not be able to leave the country freely without special permission. Don't drink and drive. I can't tell you how many times I am glad my friends call me for a ride when they have had too much. I will gladly pick them up! It is much better then picking them up from jail or identifying them at the morgue. Take care of yourself! And have a blast in brazil....they don't care much about dui's..LOL!

How do I know if he still loves me like I love him?
How do I know if he still loves me like I love him?
I dated an exchange student at my university last year for the whole year. He returned to his native country of Brazil in June. However, I cannot get over him because I am still in love with him. My relationship with him was the only one in which I felt fully happy. Is it even possible that he still feels the same about me?

He could. You just need to look at him to find out. Search for blushing, eye contact, and lips. Plus he might sweat, but people don't always sweat when they are in love. Its not always the lips either. But sometimes if someone likes you, they will lick there lips. But blushing is what you need to look for. I HOPE THIS HELPS.
