Disadvantages Of Humanities

In this paper, I plan to argue the ideas by Edward Conard, in his argument that we don’t need more humanities major in our academic system. In specific, this paper will explore the writer’s claims, the gaps in his arguments and counter-arguments in this topic. My argument is important because I will challenge Conard’s article with the self-fashioning’s article by Keohane.

We are discussing space exploration, and looking at it through the lens of social science and the lens of the humanities.

An Interpretation Service will sit with you during the conversation and translate into another language.

Humanities are required for the development of an individual’s creativity and expression, without these skills our society would be monotonous and bland. Our nation was built on the ideals of freedom and democracy, and although math and science help us to progress economically and technologically, they don’t help individuals to express themselves to be effectively represented by our government.

Translation and interpreting services - A translator is a person who translates from one language into another. They facilitate written communication which is helpful if a parent wants to show something that is written in their language. An interpreter a person who interprets, especially one who translates speech orally or into sign language.

In our world of expanding technology and shrinking geography, people of different cultures have increasing frequency of contact and need for effective communication on a daily basis. Whether through travel, immigration, or international business, having the ability to communicate across many different cultures is an advantage in and of itself. Speaking a different language is an obvious obstacle to intercultural communication, but a greater and more difficult hurdle is to “speak” a different culture. To understand and comprehend and even apply these tiniest

Lor et al. (2016) examined the growing problem of language barriers for patients in the United States and around the world. The use of interpreters is often the solution to bridge the gap between languages. The purpose of this study was to examine patient perception of interpreter services.The population for this study included 10 English proficient Hmong patients and 10 Spanish speaking patients. The participants ranged from age 33 to 75 years old. The intervention was that poor quality interpretation could lead to poor relationships among patients, interpreters and providers. In addition poor interpretation could end up in the patient being unable to follow through with treatment plans. Lastly, poor quality interpretation can lead to emotional distress for patients. Comparison was that patients have expectations on how the

Humanities Nebraska offers opportunities with the goal of attracting those with an interest in Nebraska history and culture. By doing this, they encourage and enhance both personal and public life. The Humanities Nebraska website defines humanities in a lengthy description of all aspects it encompasses. A simple translation of their definition is as follows: “The humanities are how we explore who we are collectively, and individually, and what it means to be human through reading, learning, thinking, questioning, and discussing” (“Humanities Nebraska,”

If someone has a language barrier you should use interpreters when possible as you may interpret what they are trying to say wrong and cause unnecessary distress to the person. However if an interpreter is not available you could use picture cards or other forms of communication to try and understand what is trying to be said this may help calm the situation until an interpreter is free.

To begin with, liberal arts consist of the basics to everyday life, and are the most crucial to life after school. Centenary College should never of cut the humanity courses permanently,

More and more sciences are dominating society, and slowly pushing the humanities away. In schools, you often here students speak about how this major is harder or softer than the other, and the ones that are almost classified as being “soft” are those belonging to the humanities. This in my opinion, is the effect, of the shifting trend that is taking place. Even instructors in the institution are now prompting students away from the humanities, and encouraging them towards science, which is not necessarily an evil deed, but is aiding in the decline of the humanities as a whole. This to me is causing students to lack the ability to think logically and critically in this technological/science ruled

My only concern with the previous pro humanities argument is the fact that most students pursuing a liberal arts degree are not criminals. I don’t think only criminals can benefit from a liberal arts education. Not enough people are benefiting from a liberal arts degree. This is where the degree needs a change or an update.

I believe humanities is more than just "the study of human beings by culture and the arts". I believe humanities is the process of how human beings have advanced rapidly in the sense of how information is gained and delivered to the mind culturally. Humanities shows that time is of the essence and that with time things are evolving to keep up with modernization and to always have something "original" available, to seem different or culturally of the world. I believe that humanities have most defiantly made me aware that I am capable of thinking deeper into the meaning of certain information I have received in my lifetime or even asking questions that I thought could not have an answer. Humanities has made me see life in a different way and has made me take action in changing some of the habits I have been accustomed throughout my lifetime to such as my diet, habits, and believing information that has been a lie all along. I am so grateful that I took this course this year because it has made me eager to become a more open-minded, healthier, woke, individual and I hope to share information that I have researched myself to make a difference in my

According to Max Weber, the Protestant Revolution was a significant ideological development in the history of capitalism, not simply religion. The idea that salvation could be attained by works of the faith alone enabled people to separate their economic, secular life from their private religious life. "Contrary to medieval belief, religious vocations were no longer considered superior to economic vocations for only personal faith mattered with God" (Frey 2010). The uncertainty of faith also drove people to demonstrate their moral worth to the community: "Uncertainty about salvation, according to Weber, had the psychological effect of producing a single-minded search for certainty. Although one could never influence God's decision to extend or withhold election, one might still attempt to ascertain his or her status. A life that '... served to increase the glory of God' presumably flowed naturally from a state of election" (Frey 2010).

Though looked down upon by many schools, Arts and Humanities play quintessential educational role in developing moral imagination. The Arts and Humanities allow individual to grow and mature into their own person and not society ideal easily manipulated tool. Arts and Humanities gifts its students with the ability to think critically and build a sense of moral imagination. Which despite the misconception, does support the cause of democratic education.
