define the humanities, I turned to the Stanford Humanities Center for a little help with my description. According to Stanford, the humanities are defined as “the study of how people process and document the human experience.” I believe that to be a pretty good definition of the humanities. Now, each and every one of us processes the information differently and in our own way. We all have our own style, and different ways of expressing our style and life. I think the biggest humanity that we all

Humaness George Bernard Shaw once said, “If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must man be of learning from experience?” and Albert Einstein, “the definition of insanity is to repeat something over and over again and expecting a different result each time.” The history of mankind is plagued with conflicts of politics, race, and religion; these vital organs of civilization has been the bane of human existence. The same conflicts occur time and time again throughout

Readings in Humanities The human condition encompasses the unique features of being human in both a social and personal context. It is why we seek praise and gratification. It is the reason for your curiosity, your conscience and your judgment of others. It is separate from status, race, sex or cultural background. The human condition is like that of no other living species on earth. It is what makes us superior to every other living organism. These writers all are all polarizing in their own right

The Future of Humanity By: Jason Lee We live in a world where we have many different types of life. One that is exponentially grown within the past century is humanity.

Over the last year there has been a steady stream of articles about the “crisis in the humanities,” fostering a sense that students are stampeding from liberal education toward more vocationally oriented studies. In fact, the decline in humanities enrollments, as some have pointed out, is wildly overstated, and much of that decline occurred in the 1970s and 1980s. Still, the press is filled with tales about parents riding herd on their offspring lest they be attracted to literature or history rather

They then showed me to an empty balcony with theatre like chairs that overlooked the main floor of the Mosque.

We have families and love them, we value education as a necessity for everyone, and we care about the safety of others. For example, we have laws that regulate the speed at which we drive to increase safety on the road. This is an example of our care for others. If we lost these values our society would lose what makes us human. Fahrenheit
