[vagrant-soul]

Yet again, I got hooked by a stinger implying something interesting that wound up amounting to nothing, and I’m starting to feel like the lore is just never going to be able to escape the consequences of being built on an endless string of cliffhangers with disappointing exposition for resolution.

Extensive analysis of why the Empire narrative failed in 4.5 under the cut.

I really liked the twist where Varis was a knowing puppet of the Ascians; sure, it introduced another boring, flat villain characterized primarily by Crazyface, but it did so in a way that gave a character we were more familiar with, who has more emotional weight, a few more shades of complexity. 

Varis previously had one apparent goal (maintain + grow the Empire), a logistical struggle to attain that goal (defeat the warrior of light), and no apparent concerns outside of the scope of that goal beyond glimmers here and there that there might be something more going on beneath the surface (as with your first encounter with him in Heavensward, or when he dismisses his own son as a monster despite the apparent hypocrisy). The twist gave the story an opportunity to provide us with something other than a stock villain in a fancy tin can.

Except, of course it didn’t.

Varis shows his hand immediately, revealing that his solution to the tension and conflict created by the disadvantaged position we’ve just discovered is really just additional brute force. Jumping to any conclusion is disappointing when you’ve only just introduced a concept that leaves room for doubt, surprise, tension, character growth, and all the other things that make a story interesting, but the particulars of this conclusion are especially disappointing because it’s a very simplistic idea dressed up in complexities and contrivances.

His resolution - to kill the Ascians in order to permit humankind greater control of its own affairs, separate from divine meddling - is a plot point once again lifted directly from Final Fantasy XII. In FFXII, it was an excellent motivator for the villain that elegantly added dimension to the story, and that’s probably why it was chosen for reuse here - where it doesn’t work, because the two worlds have VERY different relationships to divinity and use their plot-moving God characters to different ends.

The Ascian narrative particulars have always been hazy, but their central purpose to the story has ALWAYS been to cut across the more political and human stories and play devils-ex-machina. They’re an easy, boring and perpetual threat that allow the player’s eye and the writer’s time to be drawn elsewhere. This is, in fact, the EXACT purpose Ascian-Solus serves; it creates unity in the story through keeping the Greater Evil consistent and it allows the human characters in the foreground the capacity for a little more depth. Crucially, the fact that they’re meddling is not the problem, as Hydaelyn meddles all the time and the narrative tends to agree this is Good - the problem is just that they’re evil (or “agents of chaos”, if you will).

The idea of adding a divergent motivation to a villain by proposing they team up with the heroes to defeat the Greater Evil is itself fine, but the constraint that made this interesting in FFXII is that said villain still had to do it at cross-purposes with the hero’s interests, goals, and well-being; they were still a villain, even if they were aligned on a single point. The writers clearly tried to achieve the same effect here, but because the greater evil in this case is not the silent hand of fate but a bunch of saturday morning cartoons, it became much more difficult to keep the Emperor villainous as well. They needed his methods to keep him antagonistic, and there wasn’t any tool on the table to let them do this besides to make up something arbitrary.

Varis’ proposal to kill the Ascians therefore involves just killing a load of people. In fact, it involves doing all the same stuff the Ascians want to do, except more. His plan heavily references FFXIV’s bloated and complex cosmology, introduced an expansion ago and entirely inconsequential ever since, making it difficult to recall as well. It also introduces a new, unexplained, unsubstantiated idea that going along with the Ascian’s desired plan to unite all the worlds will also, somehow, transmogrify everybody who didn’t die in the process into a race of ultra-peaceful super-humans that will then be able to rid the world of Ascian influence.

It’s a new, thinly explained concept that doesn’t have any connection to any of the narrative mechanics we’ve learned in the past. You can’t draw on past story experience to intuitively understand why this character believes this plan would work and is worth pursuing, because it has no basis in anything we’ve learned so far. 

The other problem is the story information we do have - just a few story-hours ago we were introduced to another character who has been hunting Ascians, manually, with, like, a sword and a gun. And he’s been, apparently, quite successful in this approach! Of course, we, the player, have also been pretty successful in a similar approach as well, and have killed 4 or 5 of what were once-12 Ascians in the course of doing other kinds of business. 

The net result is that Varis’ proposal appears both foolish and hasty. It’s a high-effort, high-cost, ???-reward proposition that closes the door on further introspection he or any other character might have about how to solve a difficult problem (i.e. “How do we free the empire of Ascian influence”) that might in turn create a new world state (i.e. “What does Garlemald look like WITHOUT that influence?”). It ignores proven, in-world story information in favor of something invented on the fly, making it obviously irrational to anyone who has taken even a cursory look at the other options. It doesn’t make him look complicated, dastardly, or cunning - it just primes us to expect another cartoon villain, this time with exciting new fascist overtones.

The most frustrating part isn’t the lost opportunities or the strain on believability or even the way the lore seems like an overly complex rusty jungle gym, duct-tape hastily applied to support whatever direction the writers care to go in this time. It’s that this one scenario I’ve written a thousand words on is a microcosm of the interplay between these problems and the greater ones they have created in the past. It just seems inevitable they’ll be repeated into the future.

How data science is making a revolution in India's Job Sector?

In the past few years, we have witnessed a constant and major growth in production of data. Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that data rules our world today. The amount of data that is being produced on a daily basis is beyond anyone's imagination all because of the growth of social media, smartphones, and the internet of things or IoT. Now, the question that arises is how are we going to handle such data? Or, what are we going to make of it? The answer is data science. To put it simply, data science technology is the amalgamation of mathematics, statistics, data analysis and machine learning which uses advanced algorithms and scientific methods in order to get meaningful information and insights from a large dataset both in the form of structured and unstructured data. With the invention of concepts like big data and machine learning, data science technology has now become an integral part of various industries like business, healthcare, finance, education, and so on. Since, data science has made its way everywhere in the world, it is only natural that data science jobs will also be in high demand. Big data engineers, data scientists and machine learning engineers are often regarded as the most sought after data science jobs or jobs, in general, in today's world. Data science jobs are experiencing a massive surge all across the globe and India is no exception. The scope for data science technology and the need for the IT professionals to upgrade their skills is also increasing. So, without further ado, let us see how data science is having an impact and how data science technology is making a revolution in the job sectors of India.

Scope Of Data Science in Future

Saying that data science has brought about the fourth industrial revolution in the world would not be wrong. There have been major revolutions that have transformed the face of the industries around the world. Top tech companies and many startups in India have been hiring well-trained data science experts. Data scientist responsibilities are that of  taking solution based decisions and for business initiatives. So, it is very clear that the future of data science in India is indeed very positive. Data science technology has caused rapid growth in industries and minimised the losses previously suffered. This has led to the increase in the demand for data scientist jobs and thus, have a good data science career. 

Major companies have shifted their base from the same old traditional development to the new and advanced data science technology. In order to handle data scientist responsibilities, you must be efficient in certain fields like mathematics, statistics and computer science to name a few. Now, to learn data science is not an easy job and because data science training is relatively new and difficult, the number of data scientists are less in number which leads to thousands of job vacancies in India. Although India is only second, right behind the United States of America, when it comes to offering data science jobs, the data science technology field is a relatively new one and there are only a few people with the right expertise in this subject. The future of data science looks very promising because the applications of data science are way too many. Starting from the organisations in banking to healthcare to biotechnology to pharmaceuticals to automobile industry to data science in e-commerce, the revolutions are happening everywhere. When it comes to the cities making data science technology their ground for the growth of the IT industry, Bengaluru is recorded to have the highest number of data science and analytics jobs which is almost 27% of the total jobs closely followed by Delhi and Mumbai. The lack of supply in data scientist jobs or candidates with appropriate skills has led to rise in need of these data science jobs. So, the companies that want to maximize their profits, analyse the customer needs and make their companies better are desperately looking for data scientists or data science experts in general. The data science training programs are efficient but difficult as expertise in not just few but many areas is required which becomes a difficult task for many. 

Payscale for Data Scientists

As stated earlier, there is a notable amount of gap between the demand and supply of data scientists in India which is contributed by the lack of data scientists or qualities and increase in data scientist jobs in the industries in India.  Moreover, this has resulted in a steep increase in the salary of data scientists. Data scientist jobs, reportedly, offer more salary as compared to its contemporary IT jobs. A data scientist in India, on an average, earns about ₹650,000 per annum which is much higher than the average software engineers who earn approximately ₹450,000 per annum. This is an average estimate but with experience in the industry, the payscale also increases. For example, a professional with an experience of 5 years might earn upto 15lakhs per annum and a person with 10 years of experience might earn upto 20lakhs per annum. Therefore, the data science career is very lucrative and the future of data science is definitely a bright one when it comes to salaries. 

Replacing Traditional Ways

Conventional IT jobs such as software development, testing, IT administrators, database managers, engineers have been dominating over the technology industry for decades now. However with the introduction of data science programs, the focus of this industry has shifted towards discovering new areas of applications of data science such as artificial intelligence and advancement in automation and thus reducing the human efforts and relying more on the machines. The data science jobs tend to replace the existing traditional IT jobs or at least their way of working. This has led to the working professionals upgrading their own skills and learning data science in order to keep pace with the growth of the industry. In order to keep themselves updated and meet the needs and demands of the technology industry, the employees are required to be well aware of data science technology and be well versed with all the latest data science programs that are happening across the globe. Not just the data scientists but there are other areas related to data science for job roles such as data architects, big data engineers and managers, data science and analytics that also promise to facilitate a fruitful data science career. If there is this much of demand just for data scientist jobs then the demand for all the above mentioned jobs combined is beyond imagination. So, making yourself acquainted with the data science programs in this era has become very important even if you are just a job aspirant as the demand for data science jobs is more than ever. In this situation, data science courses are what help the most as those are the only way to learn data science and keep yourself updated with the latest trends. There is an online institution that offers the best data science courses that there is in India and that is Great Learning. Great Learning online courses are very efficient. Therefore, in India, the data science career can be thought of as a new milestone or a new direction in the technology industry for people to have long term benefits. It is very clear that the future of data science is very promising. 

Taking advantage of the Scope of Data Science

According to several surveys conducted by different organisations, there have been many revelations related to data science technology. One area in which there has been enough said and many points have been made is the area that focuses on adapting yourself to these changes and learning the tips or ways in which you can prepare yourself for a data science career. Some of those points are listed below.

1. Doing internships is the right path:

While pursuing your graduation or any other equivalent degree course, make yourself known about the internships that the IT companies offer or the entry level data science jobs. The more you involve yourself with these internships, the more experience you gain and there is really no better way to learn data science and the fields associated with it than by gaining experience while working for data science jobs. These internships also serve as platforms for networking and also for you to find mentors who will guide you for the jobs in this field. 

2. Efficiency in any programming language:

As we have seen earlier, data science involves everything starting from mathematics to statistics to computer programming. So, it is natural that programming languages will also be an integral part of data science programs. Programming languages such as Python, R, SQL, etc. are what form the base of the technology. So, having an in-depth knowledge of at least one or more of these programming languages will be definitely advised as this will help in your data science jobs. Several data science courses facilitate the teaching of these programming languages. There are data science training programs in Great Learning which specialises in teaching Python and SQL languages through the Great Learning online courses. So, even if you are from a non programming background, signing up for these data science courses would be helpful. 

3. Need for the working professionals to up their games:

This surge in demand for data science jobs has led to a rise in the number of both the working professionals as well as students opting for a data science career. The students or job aspirants as well as the individuals already associated with other fields are all going for data science courses be it from institutions or online sources in order to upgrade their skills. More than half of the people prefer online institutions in order to learn data science. Great Learning is an online institution which is a great platform for doing a data science course. The Great Learning online courses are really productive. 

Hence, we are now well aware of the scope of data science technology and applications of data science in various fields that automatically have an impact on the future of the world as well as our careers. But we have also seen the ways in which we can make this technology a part of our lives and adapt ourselves to this change.

Conclusion

In the year 2018, an estimation of 2.9 million data science job vacancies were reported in a survey. The demand for data science jobs has shot up majorly and there seems to be no way that it will decrease or even go down a bit in near future because the requirement will grow and not cease. The revolutions that data science is making in job sectors in India is real and huge and it is time to acknowledge that and act on it accordingly. Companies like Flipkart, Amazon, Netflix have huge openings for the data science jobs. India has always been a centre for IT hub and it is experiencing a data explosion for the past few years. 

We have discussed all the essential factors that are contributing to the growth of data science technology in India. We have also overviewed how India is experiencing a massive increase in the number of data science jobs and how this need has led to more desperate efforts for finding data scientists with appropriate skill sets as the companies are always looking for them in order to take all the profit making business decisions for the respective companies. We also went through how this demand has led to attracting huge salaries for data scientist jobs as compared to other IT jobs. All of these factors should be enough motivation for one to take up a data science career. As the future of data science is nothing but bright and brilliant, taking up data science courses are just the right way to go. Great Learning online courses are always there for such occasions as this institution understands the need for this subject and prepares its students in such a way that they become self-sufficient and worthy and have a guaranteed data science career.

“Is this what I get from treating you this well?!”

As I watch my dear cousin practice everyday, putting her all into the pieces she plays, I can’t help but feel the overwhelming yet mysterious sorrow yet tinged with a hopeful outlook seep from the music of Tchaikovsky’s June: Barcarolle. I remain entranced as I listen to her weave the disjointed notes of the piano into an enchanting piece of music. The beauty of the song, the relentless effort of the pianist and the purity of the piano cannot be truly appreciated through a simple studio recording; it simply does not do the music nor the pianist not the piano justice.

However, in my deep ruminations, I find myself wondering whether or not the captivating melancholy of the piece was what brought me out of my world of words, or was it this certain human nature that coloured the notes with the heartbreaking tears of a Chinese child. The sadness of a child who balances being just a child with the stresses of being the perfect puppet for her painfully stereotypical Asian parents, be it my imagination or my innate nature to embellish things, I couldn’t help speculate that beyond the sickening overdose of pink, frills, and overwhelming materialism, a world of emotional and mental agony lay hidden from me, that what I see is simply a façade of a perfect little Chinese that has been painstakingly built and maintained by my aunt.

Memories and stories plague my mind and I find myself wanting to not believe the stereotype of Asian children that I’ve read and that my once fellow classmates and I once mockingly perpetuated, however, when I see my dear cousin, my heart breaks. I remember the several hours of shouting, the lecturing and the tearing down of her spirit by her mother, my aunt, since I arrived in China, a nation that values an excellent and impressive reputation more than anything and I find myself forced to face the harsh reality of what having true Asian parents entailed.

Unlike my cousin, I never found myself enduring any of the same treatment from my own mother or father, despite themselves being Asians. Though, during my preschooling years, my mother did have me write out the English alphabet as beautifully as my five-year-old self could muster until my hands were sore and my eyes were dry of tears, however, soon after that, there wasn’t any hint of stereotypical Asian parenting from her or my father. Yet, I am my parents’ most studious child, achieving rather high results and who loves to learn. I suppose it was because by the time I was in grade one, I discovered I couldn’t rely on my parents to help me with homework. After all, my father’s education was cut short due to the Vietnam War and my mother never finished high school, and to top it off, neither enjoyed school nor studying anyways. Perhaps it was my fear of failure that prompted me to be the best I could be and coincidentally, nurture my love for learning…at least, when it came to certain subjects. However, sometimes I would resent my parents’ inability to further nurture my learning.

During my schooling years, I watched on as fellow classmates would express irritation and exhaustion from going to and from extracurricular and tutorials, from competitions to recitals, from annexes to stages. I often felt relieved that my parents more or less were completely hands off when it came to my education, especially when I saw the detrimental impacts of their minds slowly becoming warped with the motto, “Practice makes perfect,” “I must be perfect,” “I need to get an A,” and all the other terrifyingly similar phrases brainwash them into failure-fearing students. Nonetheless, I would simultaneously feel envious and ashamed when I see fellow classmates advance in life, earning awards, experience and recognition in and outside of school because of how strict and demanding their parents were while I did nothing worthwhile in my spare time other than contemplate and daydream.

Therefore, I find myself in a position where I both worry for my young cousin’s mental and emotional health from being regularly torn down by her mother whenever she gets a mark below of an A or 85% and somewhat agreeing with my aunt on the matter of an environment that enriches a child’s learning. I don’t, however, support her method of executing it - the forceful nature, the threatening of abandonment, the unnecessary fearmongering, the emotional manipulation. The tiresome and expensive hours of tutoring after a long day at school (mind you, that the standard school day in China is relatively longer than that in the West), the extracurricular such as hours of music lessons and dance classes, on top of English classes that, from my experience, don’t quite teach students how to use English effectively - and all this is relatively normal within the lands of China, however, in the case of my dear cousin, more is expected of her as she is one of a considerable amount of young Chinese being shipped off overseas to study by their parents.

If my young cousin was a university student, I suppose she wouldn’t find it too hard, well, that if she wasn’t too concerned of her own integrity. At least then, the option of hiring someone to do the course for her would be there. Though, personally, I would find it appalling if she were to choose that route when she is in university, but for now, she isn’t. Instead, next year, if all goes according to my aunt’s plans, my cousin will be attending the either the best or second-best high school in the state I live in, in Australia.

When I asked my aunt as to why she would go to such lengths for my cousin, she simply said that it was cheaper to send her to study in Australia because it’ll help my cousin live a better life in China when she grows up. I’m sure many will understand the linear thought pattern of my aunt; better school, better university, better job, better life. However, at what cost? I’m not talking about the financial cost here, but more so the invisible cost.

Call me an overly-sensitive leftist or whatever degrading term there is for people like me, but how would this impact a child mentally? How about emotionally? And even socially?

Now, to be clear, I’m not simply picking out on the idea of suddenly sending children off to another country to finish their high schooling years; I’m referring to the Chinese, if not, Asian method of raising children. (Though, I should point out this doesn’t mean there aren’t non-Asian parents who also practice this method of parenting - it’s just that, from my observations, majority of parents who do use this method are Asians, a fact most of the world acknowledges.)

Emotionally, children are raised to think that if they aren’t great, they are worthless and/or hopeless. Mentally, children have huge expectations weighing down on them at very young ages which they are to fulfil, most of which don’t line up with their own dreams and ambitions, that is if they even have their own dreams and ambitions. Socially, well, where is the time to socialise if your life revolves around getting good grades? Now, add that to the financial costs of schooling, tutoring and extracurricular. The cost is quite staggering, I find and I haven’t even begun to count the lack of life skills these children possess who are subjected to this sort of parenting. Also, as some may add, the children of such strict and demanding parents lose out on a childhood.

Bear with me, but such things as a childhood is a relatively recent invention. Prior to the Victorian Era, the idea of a childhood didn’t exist as we know today and by the time it did, it was a concept only among the rich and wealthy, and don’t quote me on this, living in the West. However, in East Asia (maybe even the whole of Asia), I speculate, this sort of thinking never quite flourished as much or took that much of a hold until the late 20th century, be it because of the World Wars that occurred earlier in the century or the difference of cultural values.

In my humble opinion, I theorise it’s more so the difference in cultural values. In the West, individualism is upheld and everyone is accountable for themselves whereas in the East, collectivism is the core of cultural values, where the actions of one person affects the many, for example, the generational imprisonment in North Korea should one member of the family executes a treasonous action. In the West, doting on the young/new generation and then not expecting anything in return as they age is the norm due to the culture that each is responsible for their own life - this in itself, is both good and bad. However, in the East, the young/new generation is doted on beyond comprehension and is expected to somehow pay back all the kindness they were shown as children, often in the means of a financial & emotional fashion. Why this is, is because of a concept of ‘filial piety’, a concept that most who grew up without an Asian background have never heard of. Essentially, 'filial piety’ is the younger generation respecting, perhaps even to the point of serving, the older generation. It’s an idea that the older generation is responsible of the younger generation until they can no longer, in which then the roles are swapped. However, do not quote me on that. This, I think, then drills an idea into the head of the parents that they can say to their children that because they’re treating them incredibly well, they can demand the equivalent back in the form of grand grades. Consequently, if their demands aren’t met, they feel as if their threats of abandonment and/or their greatly exaggerated predictions of a terrifying and catastrophic future is justified. So, I surmise that Asian parents see their children as an investment and therefore, they reason the more they put into the children, specifically their education, the more they’ll get in return later in life, such as better life.

Personally, as much as I find the method of Asian parenting both disturbing yet beneficial, I am intrigued by it. From a sociological and psychological perspective, it’s an example of human diversity expressed through culture that I find fascinating to explore and understand. Then, as the eldest daughter of two Vietnamese-born Chinese parents, I find it to be a personal matter worth looking into, as I never had to experience it. I have a hunch it may have partly been because of my parents adoption of a strict form of Christianity prior to me starting primary school, my own studious initiative and the fact I was born in and grew up in Australia, where he academic environment isn’t as competitive as it is in Asia.

Now, I admit I am over generalising all this, perhaps even exaggerating it, but in essence, I ask myself and the world this; just how much are we willing to pay, maybe even sacrifice, to allow our children a better future? And are we willing to deconstruct the social construct we call a 'childhood’? Or will we be the generation that will reconstruct what a 'childhood’ means, as the culture of the 21st century is rapidly changing and adapting?

My conjecture is that, with changing values of modern life, society’s approach towards raising children will change dramatically in order to accommodate higher educational demands and to tackle the challenges of raising children with ever advancing technology at their fingertips. In consequence to all of the aforementioned, the traditional idea of a 'childhood’ will radically evolve and I surmise that the possibility of a new parenting style where a hybrid of the Asian method and Western values will become the new norm. And that, I find, is an intriguing notion.

So, as my cousin plays Tchaikovsky’s June: Barcarolle, I stand back and marvel at her mastery of the piano; her hands gliding across the black and white keys, playing a magnificent melody of moving melancholy and hopeful happiness. I let my thoughts mellow as I let the notes paint a beach before me, the waves gently caressing my feet as I watch the setting sun make way for an array of brilliant stars, illuminating the vast darkness that is the night sky, hoping that when the sun rises once again, my dear cousin does indeed have a bright tomorrow.
