Humanities consists of art, literature, music, philosophy, religion and theater. Some of the successful people (mostly virtuosi) in this field have helped shaped western civilization. Without humanities, we easily fall into nihilism as well as scientific materialism. Learning and studying humanities helps people not only build character, but teaches childlike wonder, creativity, discipline, moral values, right-brain thinking, perseverance, writing skills and many more.[1][2]
Importance of Humanities
Humanities help teach people values and also bring in knowledge, that can lead to wisdom, and also teach character education.
How Leftists Ruined Them
Liberals have ruined great humanities, in ways of lowering the standards of art, and promoting atheism. Hollywood, has also ruined Humanities because of Hollywood Values. Not to mention the education system, where many colleges do not require their students in humanities-based programs to take Shakespeare, instead of having them focus more on narcissism, and an obsession with victimhood. [3] In some cases, even when technically teaching humanities-based courses, such as Chaucer and other literature courses, they generally use it as a platform for promoting 1960s decadence and various leftist projects such as the Equal Rights Amendment, as well as anti-Christian rhetoric, sometimes even falsely implying they are connected to the literature course they are teaching.
Humanities vs Humanism
It is important to understand the difference between Humanities and Humanism. Humanities focus more on the mind, and what we can create and invent as humans since we have free will and opposes scientific materialism, humanism, on the other hand, is more about taking pride in being human and supports scientific materialism.
