What is
the value of liberal arts???
“Liberal arts is founded on a whole person, developing a
person athletically and academically. Liberal arts is going international. The
21st century is one of entrepreneurship and innovation. There will not be fixed
careers. The liberal arts teaches you to think outside the box.”

Liberal arts not only helps you get
a degree for a major of your choice but, generally educates you in the basics. By
the basics I mean things such as math and reading. Some may think you may not
use these skills in the real world but they are sadly mistaken. No one will
want to hire a person who can’t do basic math to solve simple problems. Or won’t
be able to complete a task from their boss because, they can’t read and
understand what the boss emailed them to do.
In the quote from this week’s
readings it Professor Chopp it speaks that entrepreneurship is a major thing in
today’s 21st century. Without knowing the basics there is no way a
person can run and/or properly maintain a business. Some may say that the math
that is thought today such as calculus will never be needed if I want to be a
fireman or something that doesn’t really involve advanced math. With that
comment a person is wrong because, when people do harder levels of math it
keeps the brain working and helps you intake information better. So in fact
these hard problems that everyone hates is in fact making you smarter.
Also learning liberal arts is good
just for being educated and knowing what you are talking about. When leaving
college most schools want you to be at a certain intellectual level. For example
do you really want to have a doctor operate on you if they can’t read off of a
paper what’s wrong with you???
