Do you think that arts and humanities majors should be removed from state colleges?

answers1: I smell fascism
answers2: Law? I feel that is rather important to the function of the state.
answers3: An interesting opinion which makes sense given that the US
is behind way too many other countries when it comes to math and
science. <br>
<br>
However I think it would be better served for public elementary to
high school. Regardless of it being a public college, the college
student still pays and should have the choice to take humanities or
arts classes if they so choose. <br>
<br>
Then again art, music, sports and other arts and humanities classes
can keep kids involved with activitys and off the streets... keep them
out of trouble. <br>
<br>
I would have to vote against such measures.
answers4: No. I plan on getting a music degree. We need an
entertainment industry and entertainers too, don't we?
answers5: Your thesis is inherently wrong; arts and humanities are
absolutely essential for the vitality of a state. <br>
<br>
They create a seamless connection between motivation, instruction,
assessment, and practical application. <br>
<br>
They are an opportunity to experience processes from beginning to end. <br>
<br>
They develop both independence and collaboration. <br>
<br>
They merge the learning of process and content. <br>
<br>
They exercise and develop higher order thinking skills including
analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and "problem-finding." <br>
<br>
All these are have inherent value in any kind of endeavor, including
business, economics, science and medicine.
answers6: I love Jazz answer above...only a freedom fearing con...not so. <br>
I think that it is a good suggestion and I think that maybe some cons
would agree because we are the ones who pay those taxes, but a "jazzy"
lib would never make that connection.
answers7: Cool thing about the US is that we have a lot of freedoms to
choose these things for ourselves. The place where the value of an
education is properly determined is in the workforce and a college
education is buyer beware. Like other capitalistic enterprises. That
state funding is involved is simply a public policy matter for states.
answers8: Without creative vision, there's nothing to manage and no
levers to pull.
answers9: Arts and humanities are the most important. They are the innovators.
answers10: These majors are important. Thinking is important. its not
only about business, but about producing individuals with the ability
bring forward new ideas.
