Without humanities you just presume you are. We see in discussion people talk about social and political issues without any context of history, as if our lives and societies just are, without any context of the processes and how things came to be. Look at the perspectives and quality of discussion on the other. These are complex human societies with a rich history and context for their current reality just like any other country or region. And without a study of history, philosophy, sociology, a lot of the humanizing factors and a huge chunk of human societies and their evolution gets lost. Things like the the change from feudalism to capitalism, the experiments with communism all have massive historical context and without at least a slight familiarity with that context its nearly impossible to have informed discussion.
