QUESTION .2
In My definition,the humanities not only include literature of both ancient and modern languages, the performing arts , philosophy ,compatative religion , and cultural studies , but also history ,anthropology,and linguistics,although last three are on the border between humanities and the social sciences.
With a particular focus on the arts ,My reasons balance utility with more idealistic quality of life issues .thus i want to stress both the isness and doesness of the humanities.On the utility or doesness side ,I would stress the value of learning to think critically and independently,read powerfully and perceptively , write precisely and speak articulately.
Humans have always told stories as they try to understand themselves and their world .eventually these stories began to be written down ,and some such texts have endured foe centuries and spread far beyond their locus of origin.their richness invites multiple forms of interpretation , and their depiction of the human condition has influenced artists ,writers,statesman ,film makers and philosophers throughout the centuries .They are woven into a dnese web of intertextuality that affects our lives even today.
These all points are the experience on interpretation of humanities texts with the human life experience.
The humanities way of thinking about and responding to the world as a thing we use in daily life and make sense of the human experience in general and our individual experince in particular .the humanities enable us to reflect upon our lives and ask fundamental questions of value ,purpose,a nd meaning in a systematic way.these are the affects ones interpretation of humanities texts.
