As I said before, math and science are important, but the humanities are just as important, if not more. “The humanities, when done well, are the crucible within which our evolving notions of what it means to be fully human are tested; they teach us, incrementally, endlessly, not what to do but how to be” (Slouka). This quote from “Dehumanized” really defines and places Slouka's beliefs in the perspective of what the humanities should teach students and how they should be taught, which I wholeheartedly agree with. I believe that without the humanities we, as human beings, would all be the same and there would be no room to be different from each other. Whether it is our culture, religion or interests, no two people are the same. Individuals should not be educated to become something they do not want to be or indeed, as Slouka argues, students should not be a “capital investment” in the future of the economy. Students should invest in themselves to express who they truly are, rather than being something the economy expects of them
