Why I Like Humanities

I consider humanities somewhat provocative and mentally stimulating, which may very well explain why I like this subject. Humanities never fail to fascinate me. Throughout my journey of life, anything related to Humanities has somehow challenged the way I think. Are we mentally stimulated first before we ask questions? Or is it because we ask questions, and then we are mentally stimulated? The point is, we ought to find questions to ask.

The other reason why I like humanities is that it is practical. Understanding topics pertaining to society, economics, and history, helps us understand the world around us better. All these issues matter to us, it is the real world that we will be facing, and I want to expose myself to the real world. Learning anything related to the humanities will broaden our horizon and our understanding of the complicated world around us.

Why do we even have to understand this world of ours? It is through understanding this world that we are able to think on our feet. We can’t really call ourselves educated if we do not know how to think for ourselves- accepting whatever that we are told. Having the slightest understanding of this world is, in my opinion, the first step to take if we truly want to call ourselves educated.
