Art History Reading Assignment (1)
The Art of Learning: Why Art History might be the most important thing you could study today
After reading the article I see what is trying to be said but I also see where a few flaws are. To be completely honest writing (1 part of "Humanities" ) isn't a leisurely thing for me. It isn't something I do on my spare time. (Don't get me wrong I'm not all warm and fuzzy with Math) But I do know how important writinga is moving during school, going off to college and even further. I see why people would get so upset that Humanities as a whole was being underrated and put aside. However I also see where especially women should focus more on STEM.
Women have had such a struggle in the work force, whether it is equal pay, good living spaces, treatment by employers or discrimination by coworkers...We have had it pretty rough to say the least. Think about a job that is stereotypical for a woman, teacher, secretary, author, artist. Now think about stereotypical jobs for a man, carpenter, docter, CEO, scientist, engineer. If you think about it jobs that women are most likely to get are jobs having to do with humanities, not many in math, science etc. This is why I'm kinda torn on whether I agree or disagree with this article.
The other side of me is saying "Well humanities is extremely important too! Where would history be without it?!" I understand and I agree, it is a huge part of how we communicate, process, and learn. We even have things to teach us how to learn! (Think about it) So honestly I am okay with putting humanities to the side a bit, but definitely not removing it from the picture. With the spontaneous actions of our new president I don't know really where this could go. I see many different outcomes. I will be hoping for the Creme Dr la creme as you know.
