- I believe that all people are capable of feeling emotions like sympathy, and compassion, but I think that was makes a person truly humane is their ability to love. Any living mammal is capable of feeling emotions like fear, anger, and sadness, but not all are capable of love. I think that is what makes humans so unique. Humans have the ability to love with their mind, and love with their heart, so not only are we feeling it in just one organ, but we feel it on another area of our body. We are able to comprehend, and come up with thoughts, ideas, and opinions about how we feel, or what we want.

I think it means that the people that give their happiness to others just so they can be happy too is the best thing a person can do. You have no idea what the other person is going through and it's nice to give someone some love to know that they are appreciated and loved just like everyone else. Just one simple thing can make someone's day or change someone's life. We must all be kind and caring towards others to improve as one.

This quote calls to my attention what it means to be human. It gets the point across that people should help other people. If you were to help someone, they might be able to help you in return. You can also gain a friend when you take the time to help them. Overall, the quote Ronald wrote has a very valid point.

But why should students study the humanities at all? First, students want to study meaningful issues, issues that stress connections, issues that adults and teachers frequently ignore: What are the roots of prejudice? How much should we be guided by reason and how much by emotion? How can we deal with problems of scarcity? How can we create community? How can we be certain about anything? Experience with high school students in Humanitas classes has taught us that in the hands of flexible and sensitive teachers, such humanities questions will keep students hooked from bell to bell.

Second, Humanitas and the other CHART programs teach kids from a variety of ethnic and economic backgrounds, who, like all adolescents, would rather be interested in school than bored. In classroom after classroom, students we found hard to interest through traditional approaches in the five core subjects called for in the New American Schools—English, history, geography, math, and science¹  —will read and engage in heated discussion on humanities questions.

By focusing on important issues, the questions raised in humanities classes promote active listening and critical thinking, and they help students begin making connections among the five core subjects. For example, the question, “Do we have free will, or are we simply programmed by symbols?” will quickly bring a classroom to questions of language and logic. With a simple introduction to symbol theory, students begin to understand the power of words in shaping behavior. They develop a habit of thinking about words, examining metaphors, and asking, “What does this mean?”

By applying this critical approach to history, students learn to analyze propaganda and political speeches. By comparing carefully reasoned historical arguments with the close logic of the scientific method, students see that the language of science is only one way of describing the world.

Finally, the study of humanities is important because human beings have to make decisions based on values. Even if the day arrives when every objective fact about the physical and biological universe is known, we will still face questions of equity, the good life, and community—humanities questions. Students know this deep down, so when given the opportunity to study the sciences as part of a humanities curriculum, they see more meaningful connections and experience more success than they do in specialized classes. For this reason, a number of Humanitas schools include biology, physical science, geography, and even chemistry as part of their humanities programs.²

This course provides for the study of content drawn from history, philosophy, literature, languages and the arts. Subject areas may include linguistics, archeology, jurisprudence, the history and philosophy of science, ethics, and other aspects of the social sciences which relate to understanding life and the world.

The humanities can be described as the study how people process and document the human experience. Since humans have been able, we have used philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history and language to understand and record our world.

In my definition, the humanities not only include literature of both ancient and modern languages, the performing arts, philosophy, comparative religion, and cultural studies, but also history, anthropology, and linguistics, although the latter three are often on the border between humanities and the social sciences.
