1. Instructions
As we learned in Week 1, there is a difference between being
educated and simply trained. The purpose of education is not
only to determine what someone can do, but also what kind of
person they become as a result of their education. Studies in the
humanities will advance the communication skills, empathy,
self-awareness, judgment, and professionalism of students, and
they help students with becoming skilled at the social and
cultural context of working with people.
In addition, studying the humanities can help students in the
following ways:
Literature can introduce students to life situations with which
they may not be familiar.
Drama can teach oral communication.
Philosophy can teach skills of analysis and argument.
Art, literature, drama. and music are expressions of human
creativity, and taking part in some form of artistic activity,
either as reader or viewer, is part of what makes us human.
For this assignment, choose a work of art that made an
impression on you during this course. Then, address the
following:
Include an image of or link to the work.

philosophy, art, music) influenced you.
