- metamet 4y agoHumanities is not "reading and writing". It's largely the process of developing and practicing critical analysis and how to effectively communicate it. Yes, most humanities degrees involve a lot of writing about things written, but it's wrong (and patronizing) to say that the takeaway from the degree is merely the ability to read and write. Effective communication is a thing a lot of STEM students have a deficit in, to boot. It's not a coincidence that they're the ones often brandishing the humanities as wasted effort.
