Informational literature is the branch of the art of literature that deals with the elaboration of written texts that present information, such as data, statistics, educational information and truthful knowledge. In most of these documents, formal language that complies with different grammatical and syntactic rules is used. Some examples of this type of literature are texts such as academic and scientific reports, encyclopedias, books, articles, essays, etc.

Imaginative literature refers to written texts that are based on fictional characteristics. This means that within it it is possible to create and imagine possible backgrounds and imaginative characters, which can perform actions that should not coincide with what is normal in reality. The main purposes of these texts are to entertain, inspire, stimulate reactions and innovative thoughts, and transport the readers to an other world where everything is possible according to the plot. Some examples of this type of literature are fairy tales, fairy tales, novels, books, myths, legends, etc.

Art and literature are undoubtedly linked, due to their aesthetic characteristics, their way of expression, and their transformation of words into feelings and experiences.
According to Google Arts & Culture (n.d): “Great works of art have inspired great works of literature, great works of literature have inspired art, and together art and literature have simultaneously represented similar movements.“ However, this has not happened simply because of written texts, but because every word that is written has a meaning and a reason. Literature involves different literary genres such as short stories, novels, fiction, dramas, and poetry, among other things, and is defined by Britannica as a “variety of systems, including language, national origin, historical period, genre, and subject matter.” Even with this, there is no doubt that literature is much more than a meaning, as I already mentioned, it is considered an art. Its structure, which includes metaphors, rhetorical figures, words, and phrases, expresses many feelings and ideas that generate pleasure in the readers and make them be transported to another world and feel empathy with the writer.

STEM subjects help to create new solutions to issues that involve the healthcare, manufacturing, and computing areas, among others. Some examples are space exploration, the vaccines creation, or the global warming diminution. Within these subjects many research, creativity and logic skills can be developed, so according to the Wasington Post (2017), both private and public education have opted to instaurate more classes of STEM subjects over the humanities, as they are said to help you:
- Problem-solving
-Research ability
- Real-world application skills
- Use of technology for future problems
- Logic-Mathematic skills
- Memorization

According to Velarde (2020): “Humanities majors can learn about all facets of society, from human relationships to past achievements.” With these, I mean that the study of humanities is the opportunity to develop new abilities such as:
- Problem-solving
- Critical thinking
- Reading, writing, and speaking skills
- Empathy between humans
- Aesthetic appreciation
- Development of a society structured with values and ethics
Furthermore, the learning of humanities enables society to know about different worldwide cultures, languages, and types of people, across countries, continents, and oceans. While understanding the different types of people that exist in the world, it is important to develop critical thinking that invites people to look objectively into other cultures and adapt to different contexts that exist.

"While science may be the vanguard of change, if taken in isolation it leaves out a whole perspective that's driven by poetry, emotion, and artistic values” (Scott, P. 2019)

STEM and humanities should be complementary and interdependent, rather than opposing and independent, sharing their benefits and changing the world's perspective about it.

“The humanities […] are disciplines of memory and imagination, telling us where we have been and helping us envision where we are going”.  (4humanities, 2013)

Many people may consider STEM areas more important than humanities for much, however, life is much more than just numbers, equations, and science; we as humans have the need to understand ourselves, human relationships, our way of thinking, and to look back into human activities to change the future. Today, we live in a world of constant growth and therefore with diverse problems. However, these issues are not exclusive to a discipline or area of knowledge, but to solve them it is necessary the participation of the scientific, social, and especially the human areas.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, four of the most important branches involved in sciences, which focus on the development of new technologies based on the scientific method a analysis. Also, STEM is known as the opposite of humanities.
