Humanities

“On the one hand, they [the Humanities] are non-scientific, have little to do (at least directly) with business or economics, and they are not part of physical education or sports, either. On the other hand, though, they can deeply affect these more practical sides of life by informing how we think and express ourselves and how we anticipate and deal with change” (Jewell 5).

Whereas humanities are generally considered non-scientific in that they have no direct link with economics or business as well as with sports or education, they have a deep impact on the practical aspect of life as they inform the way individuals think, express themselves, and how they expect and handle change.

Humanities help us deal with life’s challenges and surprises even before they happen (Federal/State Partnership Staff). At a personal level, humanities have greatly helped me have a more positive approach. I know that life is full of challenges, and some of the challenges cannot be foretold. However, when the challenges come, I can handle them more positively. Accordingly, this helps me deal with various daily stressors.

For instance, COVID-19 struck during a time when nobody anticipated it and has drastically affected everyone’s lives. Further, Jewell claims, “In the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists may not know the final death rate for years, as the disease will continue to spread through poor, third-world countries long after the first vaccines are produced and sold in rich countries (148). When it became apparent that changes had to be made, particularly in regard to social distancing, which meant working and studying from home, the lives of various people had to change. It was not clear whether we would return to normalcy, and hopelessness and helplessness struck as time went by. During that time, I had a different perspective on the pandemic and used that time to spend more quality time with my family. I was also able to develop some new skills.
