Oh, The Humanities! | Kate Cottle | TEDxWilmingtonUniversity

Dr. Kate Cottle asks the question: Why study the humanities? We study the humanities to become better humans. The humanities impact workplace and life skills as well as giving us a global perspective on the beauty and history of the human experience.

She has spoke with clarity and examples to prove her understanding of the subject and explained it to her audience.

[brendamixon]

I think she spoke well and really explained and uses parables to help you to understand her speech.

I too belong from Humanities background, I need this video for my science friends

[arkieologist]

Beautiful speech. Love the tales to go along with exemplifying the humanities.

[Aritul]

10:10 - 11:53 This was such an interesting point, probably the example that made me like the video so much. I also enjoyed the Oedipus example.

All of us "study" the humanities from childhood. There is no evidence that the study of humanities is confined to universities or that humanities departments add anything or make us "better humans".

I'm a student within the humanities. Now, I know that I can understand fictional stories better than the average person. Obviously, that makes me a big deal.

Now tell me: Should I apply to Burger King or McDonald's?

I like everything she is saying and I agree with it but these employers do not care if you have critical thinking skills, they think its a given when I apply for jobs they want technical skills. I think inhumanities are important but it is the employers that don't value it.

The goal of the humanities is to become a better human. However, in recent times, many fields in the humanities have failed to deliver on this. Gender studies, in particular, are painting someone as the victim and someone else as the oppressor. It's not empowering. There needs to be more rhetoric in the humanities; these gender study participants aren't fulfilling the role of becoming better humans. That's the problem with the humanities.
