Educational Purposes In Humanities

1. HUMANITIES

2.  Humanities are academic disciplines that study
aspects of human society and culture.
 Today, the humanities are more frequently
defined as any fields of study outside of
professional training, mathematics, and
the natural and sometimes social science
 Scholars in the humanities are "humanity
scholars" or humanists. The term "humanist" also
describes the philosophical position
of humanism, which some "antihumanist"
scholars in the humanities reject. The
Renaissance scholars and artists were also
called humanists. Some secondary schools offer
humanities classes usually consisting
of literature, global studies and art.

3. FIELDS OF HUMANITIES

4. 1. ANTHROPOLOGY
Anthropology is the holistic "science of humans", a science
of the totality of human existence. The discipline deals
with the integration of different aspects of the social
sciences, humanities and human biology. In the twentieth
century, academic disciplines have often been
institutionally divided into three broad domains:
 The natural sciences seek to derive general laws through
reproducible and verifiable experiments.
 The humanities generally study local traditions, through
their history, literature, music, and arts, with an
emphasis on understanding particular individuals,
events, or eras.
 The social sciences have generally attempted to develop
scientific methods to understand social phenomena in a
generalizable way, though usually with methods distinct
from those of the natural sciences.
ABAGAT AL’JOSHUA

5.  The goal of anthropology is to provide a holistic account of
humans and human nature. This means that, though
anthropologists generally specialize in only one sub-field,
they always keep in mind the biological, linguistic,
historic and cultural aspects of any problem. Since
anthropology arose as a science in Western societies that
were complex and industrial, a major trend within
anthropology has been a methodological drive to study
peoples in societies with more simple social organization,
sometimes called "primitive" in anthropological literature,
but without any connotation of "inferior".[8] Today,
anthropologists use terms such as "less complex"
societies, or refer to specific modes
of subsistence or production, such as "pastoralist" or
"forager" or "horticulturalist", to discuss humans living in
non-industrial, non-Western cultures, such people or folk
(ethnos) remaining of great interest within anthropology
ABAGAT AL’JOSHUA

6. 2. ARCHAEOLOGY
 Archaeology is the study of human activity through the
recovery and analysis of material culture.
The archaeological record consists of artifacts(object
made by human), architecture(the art or practice of
designing and constructing buildings.), biofacts or
ecofacts(are natural objects found alongside artifacts or
features, such as animal bones, charcoal, plants, and
pollen. ) , and cultural landscapes( is a term used in the
fields of geography, ecology, and heritage studies, to
describe a symbiosis of human activity and
environment). Archaeology can be considered both
a social science and a branch of the humanities.[ It has
various goals, which range from understanding culture
history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting
and explaining changes in human societies through
time.
ALARCON JAINEE

7. Archaeology is thought of as a branch
of anthropology in the United
States, while in Europe, it is viewed as
a discipline in its own right, or grouped
under other related disciplines such
as history.
ALARCON JAINEE

8. 3. CLASSICS
 Classics, in the Western academic tradition, refers
to the studies of the cultures of classical
antiquity(is the period of cultural history between
the 8th century BC and the 6th century AD centered
on the Mediterranean Sea, comprising the
interlocking civilizations of ancient Greece and
ancient Rome known as the Greco-Roman world.) ,
namely Ancient Greek and Latin and the
Ancient Greek and Roman cultures. Classical
studies is considered one of the cornerstones of
the humanities; however, its popularity declined
during the 20th century. Nevertheless, the
influence of classical ideas on many humanities
disciplines, such as philosophy and literature,
remains strong.
ARCILLA MAICA

9. 4. HISTORY
 History is systematically
collected information about the past.
When used as the name of a field of
study, history refers to the study and
interpretation of the record
of humans, societies, institutions, and
any topic that has changed over time.
 Traditionally, the study of history has
been considered a part of the
humanities. In modern academia,
history is occasionally classified as
a social science.
BEATRIZ DIMPLE

10. 4. LINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGES
 While the scientific study of language is known
as linguistics and is generally considered a social
science, a natural science or a cognitive science, the
study of languages is still central to the humanities. A
good deal of twentieth-century and twenty-first-century
philosophy has been devoted to the analysis of language
and to the question of whether, as Wittgenstein claimed,
many of our philosophical confusions derive from the
vocabulary we use; literary theory has explored the
rhetorical, associative, and ordering features of language;
and historical linguists have studied the development of
languages across time. Literature, covering a variety of
uses of language including prose forms (such as
the novel), poetry and drama, also lies at the heart of the
modern humanities curriculum. College-level programs in
a foreign language usually include study of important
works of the literature in that language, as well as the
language itself.
BERNAL NICOLE

11. 5. LAW AND POLITICS
 Law and politics are deeply knotted. Law is an
essential tool of government action, an instrument
with which government tries to influence society.
Law is also the means by which government itself
is structured, regulated and controlled. It is no
surprise, then, that law is an important prize in
the political struggle and that law shapes how
politics is conducted.
 The scholarly study of law and politics is a growing
and diverse field.The range of scholarship in the
area reflects the wide scope of issues and
questions that are relevant to the field of law and
politics and that invite new and further study.The
diversity of scholarly interest in law and politics
also reflects the interdisciplinary conversation that
the field invites.
CABALTERA JENCY

12. 6. LITERATURE
Literature is a term that does not have a universally
accepted definition, but which has variably included
all written work; writing that possesses literary merit;
and language that foregrounds literariness, as
opposed to ordinary language. Etymologically the term
derives from Latin literatura/litteratura "writing formed
with letters", although some definitions
include spoken or sung texts. Literature can be
classified according to whether it is fiction or non-
fiction, and whether it is poetry or prose; it can be
further distinguished according to major forms such
as the novel, short story or drama; and works are
often categorised according to historical periods, or
according to their adherence to
certain aesthetic features or expectations (genre).
CASCO JOANA

13. 7. PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy—etymologically, the "love of
wisdom"—is generally the study of
problems concerning matters such as
existence, knowledge, justification,
truth, justice, right and wrong, beauty,
validity, mind, and language. Philosophy
is distinguished from other ways of
addressing these issues by its critical,
generally systematic approach and its
reliance on reasoned argument, rather
than experiments (experimental
philosophy being an exception)

LLAGAS ELLEN JOY

15.  Philosophy used to be a very
comprehensive term, including what have
subsequently become separate
disciplines, such as physics.
(As Immanuel Kant noted, "Ancient Greek
philosophy was divided into three
sciences: physics, ethics, and
logic.) Today, the main fields of
philosophy are logic, ethics, metaphysics,
and epistemology. Still, it continues to
overlap with other disciplines. The field
of semantics, for example, brings
philosophy into contact with linguistics.
MARTICIO JANETH

16. 8. RELIGION
 At present, we do not know of any people or tribe,
either from history or the present day, which may be
said altogether devoid of “religion.” Religion may be
characterized with a community since humans
are social animals. Rituals are used to bound the
community together. Social animals require
rules. Ethics is a requirement of society, but not a
requirement of religion. Shinto, Daoism, and other folk
or natural religions do not have ethical codes.
The supernatural may or may not include deities since
not all religions have deities (Theravada
Buddhism and Daoism). Religion may have belief, but
religions are not belief system. Belief systems imply a
logical model that religions do not display because of
their internal contradictions, lack of evidence,
falsehoods, and a faith element.
NAVASQUEZ MARY ROSE

17.  Magical thinking creates explanations
not available for empirical
verification. Stories or myths are
narratives being both didactic and
entertaining
 They are necessary for understanding
the human predicament. Some other
possible characteristics of religion are
pollutions and purification, the sacred
and the profane, sacred texts, religious
institutions and organizations, and
sacrifice and prayer. Some of the major
problems that religions confront, and
attempts to answer are chaos, suffering,
evil , and death
ODAVAR RICHARD JR.

18. 9. PERFORMING ARTS
The performing arts differ from
the visual arts in so far as the former
uses the artist's own body, face, and
presence as a medium, and the latter
uses materials such as clay, metal, or
paint, which can be molded or
transformed to create some art object.
Performing arts
include acrobatics, busking, comedy, da
nce, film, magic, music, opera, juggling,
marching arts, such as brass bands,
and theatre.
PADRIGONE LOVELY

19.  Artists who participate in these arts in front
of an audience are called performers,
including actors, comedians, dancers,
musicians, and singers. Performing arts are
also supported by workers in related fields,
such as songwriting and stagecraft. Performers
often adapt their appearance, such as
with costumes and stage makeup, etc. There is
also a specialized form of fine art in which the
artists perform their work live to an audience.
This is called Performance art. Most
performance art also involves some form of
plastic art, perhaps in the creation of props.
Dance was often referred to as a plastic
art during the Modern dance era. PANCILES MARIZ

20. 10. MUSICOLOGY
 Musicology as an academic discipline
can take a number of different paths,
including historical musicology, music
literature, ethnomusicology and music
theory. Undergraduate music majors
generally take courses in all of these
areas, while graduate students focus
on a particular path. In the liberal
arts tradition, musicology is also used
to broaden skills of non-musicians by
teaching skills such as concentration
and listening.
REGINALES JEWEL

21. 11. THEATRE
 Theatre (or theater) (Greek
"theatron", θέατρον) is the branch of
the performing arts concerned
with acting out stories in front of an
audience using combinations of speech,
gesture, music, dance, sound and
spectacle — indeed any one or more
elements of the other performing arts. In
addition to the standard narrative
dialogue style, theatre takes such forms
as opera, ballet, mime, kabuki, classical
Indian dance, Chinese opera, mummers'
plays, and pantomime.
VALDEZ JOMEL YANCY

22. 12. DANCE
 Dance (from Old French dancier, perhaps
from Frankish) generally refers
to human movement either used as a form
of expression or presented in
a social, spiritual or performance setting. Dance is
also used to describe methods of non-verbal
communication (see body language) between
humans or animals (bee dance, mating dance),
and motion in inanimate objects
(the leaves danced in the wind). Choreography is
the art of creating dances, and the person who
does this is called a choreographer.
 Definitions of what constitutes dance are
dependent on social, cultural, aesthetic, artistic,
and moral constraints and range from functional
movement (such as Folk dance) to
codified, virtuoso techniques such as ballet.

23. MEDIA TYPES UNDER HUMANITIES
CONNECTED TO ART

24. 1. DRAWING
Drawing is a means of making a picture, using
any of a wide variety of tools and techniques. It
generally involves making marks on a surface by
applying pressure from a tool, or moving a tool
across a surface. Common tools
are graphite pencils, pen and
ink, inked brushes, wax color
pencils, crayons, charcoals, pastels,
and markers. Digital tools that simulate the
effects of these are also used. The main
techniques used in drawing are: line
drawing, hatching, crosshatching, random
hatching, scribbling, stippling, and blending. A
computer aided designer who excels in technical
drawing is referred to as
a draftsman or draughtsman.
MORALLOS ALEX

25. 2. PAINTING
 Painting taken literally is the practice of
applying pigment suspended in a carrier
(or medium) and a binding agent (a glue) to a
surface (support) such as paper, canvas or a wall.
However, when used in an artistic sense it means
the use of this activity in combination
with drawing, composition and other aesthetic
considerations in order to manifest the expressive
and conceptual intention of the practitioner.
Painting is also used to express spiritual motifs and
ideas; sites of this kind of painting range from
artwork depicting mythological figures on pottery
to The Sistine Chapel to the human body itself.
CATNGUI ERIC JAM ES

26.  Colour is highly subjective, but has observable
psychological effects, although these can differ
from one culture to the next. Black is
associated with mourning in the West, but
elsewhere white may be. Some painters,
theoreticians, writers and scientists,
including Goethe, Kandinsky, Isaac Newton,
have written their own colour theories.
Moreover, the use of language is only a
generalization for a colour equivalent. The
word "red", for example, can cover a wide
range of variations on the pure red of the
spectrum. There is not a formalized register of
different colours in the way that there is
agreement on different notes in music, such
as C or C# in music, although
the Pantone system is widely used in the
printing and design industry for this purpose.
ARENGO MARICAR

27.  Modern artists have extended the practice of
painting considerably to include, for
example, collage. This began with cubism and is
not painting in strict sense. Some modern
painters incorporate different materials such
as sand, cement, straw or wood for
their texture. Examples of this are the works
of Jean Dubuffet or Anselm Kiefer. Modern and
contemporary art has moved away from the
historic value of craft in favour of concept; this
has led some[who?] to say that painting, as a
serious art form, is dead, although this has not
deterred the majority of artists from continuing
to practise it either as whole or part of their
work.
ISORENA ANGELO

28. THE HUMANITIES INDICATORS
 The Humanities Indicators is a
database of comprehensive(complete)
statistical information about the
humanities in the United States,
providing researchers and policy-
makers in the private and public
sectors with better tools to answer
basic questions about areas of concern
in the humanities.
ESCOBAL VANESSA

29. LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION
A liberal arts education refers
to college studies that provide
general knowledge and develop
intellectual ability. This type of
education can prepare you for
many fields in today's
workplace.
AGREDA CHRISTIAN REEY

30. LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION BENEFITS
 Prepares students to work in a variety of jobs. This is
different from other types of education where students
develop professional or vocational skills for a specific
job.
 Degree is appealing to employers. Employers like
liberal arts graduates because they have the skills
necessary to adapt in a changing workplace. Employers
desire transferable skills (skills employees take with
them to any job) typical of a liberal arts education.
These include written and verbal communication skills
and the ability to solve complex problems and work well
with others.
CALLEJA DANYEL MATTHEW

31.  Provides an excellent foundation for graduate
study in health care, law, business, or other
fields. Graduate schools look for candidates who
will succeed in graduate-level study. Students
with a liberal arts background are appealing,
because they demonstrate an ability to learn
across a diverse field of studies.
 Creates graduates who are equipped with the
skills to become valuable community
members. The value of a liberal arts education
goes far beyond its economic value. Graduates
understand problems, generate solutions, and
communicate those solutions to others. In many
ways, a liberal arts education is education for life.
It prepares graduates who can adapt and thrive in
an ever-changing world.
LAGATIC JOLLY BOY

32. HERE ARE 9 REASONS WHY HUMANITIES MATTER.
There’s research on the impact of the humanities;
there’s evidence demonstrating how studying the
humanities benefits society, employers and individuals.
I’ll list here nine arguments that the humanities are
important.
1. The humanities help us understand others through
their languages, histories and cultures.
2. They foster social justice and equality.
3. And they reveal how people have tried to make
moral, spiritual and intellectual sense of the world.
4. The humanities teach empathy.
MOLINA HELBERT

33. 5. They teach us to deal critically and logically with
subjective, complex, imperfect information.
6. And they teach us to weigh evidence skeptically and
consider more than one side of every question.
7. Humanities students build skills in writing and critical
reading.
8. The humanities encourage us to think creatively.
They teach us to reason about being human and to ask
questions about our world.
9. The humanities develop informed and critical
citizens. Without the humanities, democracy could not
flourish.
PAMPARO VINCENT

34. WHAT SKILLS CAN YOU GAIN BY STUDYING HUMANITIES
 The humanities encompass the full range of human thought
and creativity, including languages, religion, philosophy, and
the broad spectrum of the arts (including the performing arts
and the visual arts). Humanities education explores the
commonalities and differences in self-expression that humans
have exhibited through the ages and continue to demonstrate
today. The humanities have always been and will continue to
be the basis of human cultures and source of our perceptions
of different cultures.
 In the academic realm, a student may study any or all of the
humanities as part of a formal degree program such as
a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. These programs expose
students to diverse ideas from around the world, broadening
their knowledge and developing their critical thinking abilities.
PINEDA NESTOR

35. ARE THE HUMANITIES IMPORTANT?
 People from all walks of life, across philosophical and political
perspectives, agree on the importance of the humanities. Famed “Star
Wars” director George Lucas said this of the humanities: “The sciences
are the ‘how,’ and the humanities are the ‘why’—why are we here, why
do we believe in the things we believe in. I don’t think you can have the
‘how’ without the ‘why.’”
 Former President Ronald Reagan believed that, “The arts and
humanities teach us who we are and what we can be. They lie at the
very core of the culture of which we’re a part.” J. Irwin Miller, famed
industrialist and civil rights proponent, also spoke to the transformative
nature of the humanities when he stated, “The calling of the humanities
is to make us truly human in the best sense of the word.”
 The broadly applicable skills that the humanities offer also directly
benefit individuals in their personal and professional lives. As American
philosopher and law professor Martha Nussbaum notes, “Business
leaders love the humanities because they know that to innovate you
need more than rote knowledge. You need a trained imagination.”
QUINTO CHRISTIAN
VINCENT

36. WHAT SKILLS CAN YOU GAIN BY STUDYING HUMANITIES
 Humanities expand our knowledge of human cultures and help us understand what binds
us together and what differentiates us from one another. In addition to these high-level
insights, however, they also provide practical applications that can enhance your
professional skillset and give you a competitive edge. By studying humanities in a formal
university-level program, you can acquire transferrable, marketable skills and qualities that
will be an asset to you in your professional pursuits. What will you learn in a humanities
program? Examples include:
 Critical Thinking—The ability to receive and analyze knowledge and to use your creativity
to develop innovative solutions to problems.
 Communication—The ability to form unique viewpoints and to express yourself clearly and
persuasively in both written and spoken forms.
 Empirical and Quantitative Reasoning—The ability to comprehend and use numerical data
to formulate and deliver educated decisions.
 Teamwork—The ability to understand and accept the viewpoints of others and to work
collaboratively with them to achieve common goals.
 Personal Responsibility—The ability to see the consequences for your actions and take
responsibility for and justify the choices you make.
 Social Responsibility—The ability to see what’s best for society and the world as a whole
and to act accordingly.
TASARRA JOEMARI

37.  Employers want professionals who can come up with fresh
approaches to solving problems, express themselves clearly,
collaborate with others, and act in a responsible, ethical manner.
These abilities are the foundation for nearly every career path, as
well as many graduate-level programs. Equipped with these
skills, you’ll be prepared to take on a diverse range of career
paths, including:
 Teacher
 Writer
 Public relations manager
 Advertising sales agent
 Travel agent
 Counselor
 Event organizer
 Artist
 Lawyer
 Minister
 Military service member
BASA MARY ROSE

38. THE HUMANITIES BELONG TO EVERYONE
 The humanities preserve our valued traditions and transmit them
from generation to generation. The humanities listen to the voices
of many generations and share them through history, literature,
philosophy, ethics, religion, languages, archaeology, and all the
other areas of thought and culture that make up the record of
human activity.
 The humanities have practical applications for everyday life. They
offer individuals and societies the opportunity to test ideas or
actions and to imagine their consequences. The humanities
provide a context for envisioning the impact—positive and
negative—of new ideas in our culture, politics, and daily lives.
They benefit people by helping them to think about and to
consider life’s surprises and challenges before they happen and
by giving strength when they do happen. The humanities help us
to make informed decisions.
CERIOLA JANINE

39.  The humanities help us answer big
questions. What is the meaning, value, and
purpose of human life? What is justice? What
is equality? What is freedom? How might a
just society function? How do individuals
relate to the state and society? What are the
moral consequences of human action? Why
do both cruelty and good exist? How do
people best work together?
OBIADO CRIZZEL

40. THE HUMANITIES
 Give us wisdom and vision
 Clarify our roles as citizens in a democratic society
 Explain politics, religion, business, ethics, international relations,
social and community values
 Encourage our participation in our communities
 Assist us in weighing the ideas, statements, and discourse we
hear and read
 Help us understand and explain to what or to whom we give
authority
 Awaken us to the possibilities of human life and culture
 Let us think big and understand much
 Make us curious about people and places
 Open us to the experiences of others and allow us to understand
what we haven’t experienced ourselves
ORTIZ EDELYN

41.  Give us the means to recognize the common
ground shared by all varieties of human
thought and endeavor, and to bring about
connections among them
 Help to make sense of the world we live in
 Tease our brains and expand our
understanding
 Power our imaginations
 Preserve and share our stories
 Explore what it is to be human
 Assure us that we are not alone
