There are so many different kinds of humanities classes. A few examples are the arts, philosophy, religion, history, and language.

# data[].attributes.body
Humanities is the the study of humans in the individual, cultural, societal and experiential sense.

Humanities is all about the big question: "Why?"

# data[].attributes.body
Humanities courses should be taught in every grade level, starting when children are young and still highly moldable.

# data[].attributes.body
Even in college, students should be required to take some sort of humanities class each year. There is always more to learn and different ideas to discuss.

Most grades teach some form of a US history class. However, these classes seem to cover the same events and always portray the United States in a positive light. The slow but deadly foreign expansion into Native American land is an example of a US historical event that is rarely discussed.

Elementary school students could learn about the different types of art. For example, they could learn about music, drawing, dance, or pictures.

Students in middle school could then focus on histories of different countries as well as US history.

Once students reach high school, they could learn about different languages and choose one to focus on. They then would learn all about the language and the cultures of the countries where that language is spoken.

In college, students can choose a course to take from a variety of humanities courses. Some examples of possible courses are: philosophy, religion, advanced languages, literature analysis, or gender studies.

There are so many people who are out of touch with different cultures and with each other. This can cause huge arguments and disputes, both which could have been avoided if both parties understood and respected each other a little more.

The Holocaust is an example of what can happen when two groups have a disagreement. The Jews were turned into the scapegoat for the loss of WW1 and the Germans (more specifically the Nazis) hunted them mercilessly. If only there had been a little bit of human decency and respect; perhaps some understanding that one group (a group that was different than them) was not the reason the Germans lost the war.

Two different religions (the Christain Nazi Germans vs the Jewish Germans), two different cultures clashed during WW2. So much pain and bloodshed occurred, there was no understanding of the Jewish plight, just the urge to find someone to blame for the loss of the war.

One of the main reason why the common German citizens voted Hitler into leadership is that they fell into such bad poverty after the loss of WW1 that any kind of hope for a better future, no matter the moral cost, was clung to. As such, Nazi Germany was born and the massacres began.

However, not all hope is lost. If just one person can become educated in the humanities, this knowledge can spread and create a butterfly effect. This butterfly effect would improve how each culture is treated and create positive outlooks of things considered "different" across the world.

Communities can work together to create a more welcoming atmosphere for different cultures, with each person being respected and understood. More importantly, each person's voice will be heard and not dismissed for being "different."

Teaching humanities courses would be financially beneficial to the world. These courses teach students how to resolve conflicts respectfully and to see the other viewpoint. This means a lot of pointless wars and fights can be avoided, all due to some basic education.

World leaders discuss issues all the time with each other. If this would happen with every issue, no matter the size, so many arguments and wars could be prevented. Discussing issues calmly can go a long way when trying to find a compromise or get others to understand.

With all of the money saved from teaching humanities courses to students of all ages, money could be put into bettering healthcare and public services.

# data[].attributes.body
Money can also go into funding public schools more and making the learning environment more positive. This in turn would motivate students to spend the time to actually learn the material. This means that more students would be deeply educated in the humanities, creating a positive learning cycle.

The world's population keeps growing and growing. This means that there will be more differences between people than ever before. With the youth educated in the humanities, hopefully the world will grow into a positive place for all.

Everyone has the ability to change the world, humanities courses are just the extra push that most need to act.

# data[].attributes.body
The world is growing and changing but when people come together, amazing things can happen. The sense of community and understanding that being in a crowd all together is the feeling that humanities is trying to teach. Humanities is just learning about others and the world around, learning to understand all the mysteries and differences of each other.

Humanities is the way of the world, the key to understanding life itself (the "why"). Thank you for reading :)
