II. Cultural background 1. What are the humanities?
The humanities are a group of academic disciplines that study the human condition, using methods that are primarily analytical, critical, or speculative. Therefore, they are distinguished from the approaches of natural sciences. The humanities, called social sciences, include history, anthropology, communication studies, cultural studies, law, linguistics, etc.
2. Why are the humanities important?
Through exploration of the humanities, students learn how to think creativelyand critically, to reason, and to ask questions. Because these skills allow students to gain new insights into everything from poetry and paintings to business models and politics, humanistic subjects have been at the heart of a liberal arts education. Today, humanistic knowledge continues to provide the ideal foundation for exploring and understanding the human experience.
Step Two Text Study 80 minutes
I. Interactive reading of the text
1. Reading comprehension
1) Why do many students calculate they can’t major in English or history?
2) Why does the author say that a college education is more and more seen as a
means for economic betterment rather than a means for human betterment?
3) How do you understand “These days, labs are more vivid and compelling
than libraries” (Para. 3)?
4) Why does the author say that the inner aspect of our being has captured our
imagination from the very beginning?
5) According to the author, what are the advantages of studying the humanities?
6) What are “well-rounded human beings” (Para. 10) according to the author?
2. Structure of the text
Part 1 (Para, 1-5) Introduction
To improve their future chances of finding a job, college students are now moving away from the humanities and taking accounting or some “hard-skill” courses. The humanities will continue to be in bad shape due to the economic downturn. Nevertheless, the humanities can bring true value to people’s lives, and the basis of study of the humanities is formed by the inner power that has driven human beings to either greatness or destruction.
Part 2 (Para. 6-9) Body:
Why the humanities?
This part presents the author’s argument to stand up for the true value that the humanities bring to people’s lives. Part 3 (Para 10) Concluding part
The humanities help to create human beings with insight and understanding of the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity. The humanities will never be out of date. They are as useful and relevant in our modern age as they have alwaysbeen.
