Is it bad to get teacher recommendations for college only from humanities teachers?

answers1: I would say it depends on what you are going in for. If you
want a degree in World History, I think these recommendations would
work perfectly. The fact that they are both Advanced Placement
teachers speaks in your favor. However, it you want a degree in
biology, you may want to get a different rec from other teachers. In
addition to the Humanities teachers'. As many as possible is the best
way to go!

What are humanities courses like?

and teachers than regular courses. It is more difficult and there are
plenty of projects and much to learn. I'm in humanities and i really

What does the tide of humanities attitude personally remind you of as an individual?

answers1: I see our humanities attitude, collectively speaking, as
that of a child. At first the child believes that the world revolves
around them. It soon discovers it's surroundings and explores. It
begins to find itself, differentiate differences, and perhaps seek an
identity. It then enters adolescence and releases it's inner conflict
and becomes lost. What's happening now? A continuous and very
laboured, self absorbed adolescence....

Why is humanities considered one of the four branches of knowledge and how is it important?

answers1: because they impact our thinking ability and show we don't
have to succumb to our instincts
answers2: The four branches of knowledge: <br>
<br>
1. physical sciences <br>
<br>
2. medicine <br>
<br>
3. Social sciences (humanities) <br>
<br>
4. engineering <br>
<br>
The humanities are academic disciplines which study the human
condition, using methods that are primarily analytic, critical, or
speculative, as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of
the natural and social sciences. <br>
<br>
Examples of the disciplines of the humanities are ancient and modern
languages, literature, law, history, philosophy, religion, and visual
and performing arts (including music). Additional subjects sometimes
included in the humanities are technology, anthropology, area studies,
communication studies, cultural studies, and linguistics, although
these are often regarded as social sciences. Scholars working in the
humanities are sometimes described as "humanists". However, that term
also describes the philosophical position of humanism, which some
"antihumanist" scholars in the humanities reject. <br>
<br>
Many American colleges and universities believe in the notion of a
broad "liberal arts education", which requires all college students to
study the humanities in addition to their specific area of study. The
University of Chicago and Columbia University were among the first
schools to require an extensive core curriculum in philosophy,
literature, and the arts for all students. Other colleges with
nationally recognized, required two year programs in the liberal arts
are St. John's College, Saint Anselm College and Providence College.
Prominent proponents of liberal arts in the United States have
included Mortimer J. Adler[15] and E. D. Hirsch, Jr.. <br>
<br>
The 1980 United States Rockefeller Commission on the Humanities
described the humanities in its report, The Humanities in American
Life: <br>
<br>
Through the humanities we reflect on the fundamental question: What
does it mean to be human? The humanities offer clues but never a
complete answer. They reveal how people have tried to make moral,
spiritual, and intellectual sense of a world in which irrationality,
despair, loneliness, and death are as conspicuous as birth,
friendship, hope, and reason. <br>
<br>
"Increasing numbers of critics view education in the liberal arts as
irrelevant" [16] or "learning more and more about less and less" [17]
which no longer prepares the students for the American job market in
the face of increased competition due to more graduates .[18] After
World War II, many millions of veterans took advantage of the GI Bill.
Further expansion of federal education grants and loans have expanded
the number of adults in the United States that have attended a
college.[18] In 2003, roughly 53% of the population had some college
education with 27.2% having graduated with a Bachelor's degree or
higher, including 8% who graduated with a graduate degree.[19] The
counter view is that "A familiarity with the body of knowledge and
methods of inquiry and discovery of the arts and sciences and a
capacity to integrate knowledge across experience and discipline may
have far more lasting value in such a changing world than specialized
techniques and training, which can quickly become outmoded." <br>

answers3: understanding basic needs for survival are they running
astray from basic needs like water and air and land
answers4: It has been devised by elders like this I think. As it deals
with our day-day-life, it is considered important. Because most of us
do not know how to utilize our body, mind, time, energy, knowledge,
resources, money, etc. in a properly way. So it is important to know.
answers5: Humanities are the histories of civilization, its highest
art and its deepest depths. Sir Issac Newton said; "If I have seen
farther than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of
giants." A child raised in a vacuum would have no true sense of self
because much of what we are is determined by our relations with
others, 'Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat
it.' Our culture gets its sense of self from many places, but if we
exorcise previous cultures from our flow of life we become flat stale
and one dimensional. Those who lift our civilization must have
sources for ideas and ideas are tools. We are not robots to program
but are learning and experiencing beings whose experience is always
made richer by understanding our own, other and previous cultures. So
many of the greats of history have had that broad education. If one
teaches for functionality alone the culture starts to die

What makes Crafts a fine art?

answers1: a piece of craft is useful and well made, including the
design. A piece of fine art tries to communicate a concept, an idea.
<br>
<br>
So a if a piece of craft also communicates a concept/idea it is fine
art as well. <br>
<br>
(I don't really know whether that is my definition only, or generally
accepted, I would think there is some argument). I do think the
separation between art and craft can be arbitrary and at times was
seen that "usefulness" was the definiing characteristic. I don't think
that idea is as general any more.
answers2: This article discusses your question. Good Luck :) <br>

in someone elses idea.
