“Good work, like good talk or any other form of worthwhile human relationship, depends upon

being able to assume an extended shared world.”

Art is one of the vital cogs in our lives . It constitutes one of the oldest form and most
important means of expression developed by man. It is a language, which is charged with
feelings and significance that has sprung up among men living together . For this, I am very glad
to experience the beauty of arts, to meet arts within my body and soul . The teaching of the
humanities is intended to make us students realize the mere possession of knowledge is useless
unless put to useful ends.

Moreover, we would become aware that knowledge alone is meaningless unless it is

accompanied by values, sentiments, priorities, insights, interrelationships and other transcendent
realities not subject to empirical proofs also form part of the person’s education In the
humanities, we, must be exposed to these, thus, the development of the whole person, which is
the goal of the humanities.

The humanities are the stories, the ideas, and the words that help us make sense of our
lives and our world. The humanities introduce us to people we have never met, places we have
never visited, and ideas that may have never crossed our minds.

By showing how others have lived and thought about life, the humanities help us decide
what is important in our own lives and what we can do to make them better . By connecting us
with other people, they point the way to answers about what is right or wrong, or what is true to
our heritage and our history. The humanities help us address the challenges we face together in
our families, our communities, and as a nation.

I would like to understand humanities as being beyond of what is. The humanities teach
empathy. It helps us understand others through languages, history and culture.
