How much conscience can people have when they sit in ivory towers while tens of thousands of people die from starvation every single day? I have known, and I've known for a long time, that the vast majority of people I see are demons who have no conscience or grasp of reality so they can pride themselves of their squared heads and preach about how wise and beneficient they are while people all around the planet are genocided on a daily basis. Keep your Humanities, it suits you well; it makes your lack of humanity less apparent. oh and hi susannah, hi platinum ^^ cant decide which of your answers I like best on my racist question.<br><b>References : </b><br> Colleges are pure evil.

When a student studies Humanities, emphasis is placed on a high level of reading comprehension, on the ability to read critically, looking for flaws in such matters as logic, and on the ability to evaluate the authority of a text. Thus, they learn to think independently, and are less likely to accept ideas simply because someone with authority tells them to. Students are taught to write clearly and thoughtfully, and to pay attention to the requirements of standard, editied English. They learn to approach problems analytically, to break them down into component parts, and not to make assumptions. These are valuable skills for approaching many personal problems, problems in the workplace, and at the more global or philosophical level. I think that far too many young people in the U.S. have been brought up to believe that education is about learning to push buttons on a machine. They tend to see themselves as machines, needing to be trained or programmed, and believe that they cannot accomplish things they haven't be "trained" to do. But again, this question is generalized. There's a pretty big difference between DeVry and MIT, between studying English at a fourth-rate college and studying it at Harvard.<br><b>References : </b><br> Your question is a bit generalized, because I don’t know what you mean by "problems," but I’ll give it a try.
