My best friend died when I was 19. Im honestly flabbergasted that anyone would think that any period of time was not worth studying the humanities. If anything, that period of time was maybe the most valuable time to study those in my whole life.
It just screams ignorance to add brackets to life experiences. Who are you to classify when and where someone’s life experiences happen?
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 3y agoWhat would you have learned in 1 year of humanities studying that you didn’t learn in 4 years of humanities is high school, that would have made a huge difference? In addition, for such traumatic life events, it is community and relationships that help, more than any particular knowledge. I am not for banning books. I just don’t think that 18-22 year olds benefit as a cohort from spending intensive time studying the humanities, when they could be studying all sorts of other things. By all means read books, talk with friends, meditate, contemplate , read and write poetry. But to devote 4 years of your life from 18-22 as the primary means, is a waste.
