A humanistic education teaches students to understand, appreciate, and produce art, music, theatre, and literature. It helps students enhance their ability to understand themselves, interact with others, and communicate effectively.
Humanities subjects encapsulate a wide range of topics, such as history, art, and politics. Each of these studies teaches skills like communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity that are crucial and can be applied to many careers in different industries.
Humanities majors foster social justice. It makes students understand others through language, culture, and history. Humanities allow students to question why things are the way they are, which ultimately leads to positive changes in our society.
For many students, the workload for reading and writing in humanities courses may be too heavy for their interests and concentration. Students often have a hard time finding interest and intellectually engaging with the materials.
In school, a subject contains multiple chapters and units of materials. It is likely that a student might be more interested in one chapter than the other. For subjects in humanities, such as World History or U.S. History, they require students to have a holistic view of the subject rather than just be familiarized with certain events.
Understanding humanities concepts requires students to have strong critical and abstract thinking abilities. These abilities are not built overnight. They require abundant practice and knowledge accumulation.
Many people think humanities subjects are impractical because they are unhelpful in real-life events. Humanities subjects may have a strong focus on theories, histories, and abstract, but they build the fundamental principles of life and society.
