Amelia Caldwell Assignment 4

The liberal arts is a part of every person's life, no matter what they study or pursue a career in. By studying the liberal arts, I have learned so much about my own cultures and cultures throughout the world. Each aspect of the liberal arts is connected, which makes it easier to study and understand the world around us. Literature and history go hand in hand. By reading literature we can learn about a different time period, and view a period through many different lenses. We learn to think in many different ways, rather than being closed-minded. We open ourselves up to new ideas and solutions, without really worrying about whether it is technically "correct." We are more comfortable sharing our ideas and more accepting of others' ideas. The liberal arts create better thinkers, problem solvers, and overall more rounded people.
