Humanities subjects enable us to study the impact that human beings have had on the world that they live in, and how they have responded to the world around them. Culture, civilisation, morality, ethics, religion and location all play an important part in study in the humanities. Through exploring and understanding the interconnectedness of concepts within the Humanities, we are better able to make positive contributions to the diverse communities that we are part of, from our most local community to the fullest extent of our place in the global community.
A Scholar is concerned with understanding the world from the words written by others. The written word is a wonderful tool that helps us understand the world from the point of view of the author. Literature often reflects the cultural norms that influence society at the time of writing, and sometimes challenges those norms providing a lens to look at the world in a critical way. Being able to reflect critically on texts, the Scholar is able to interpret the past, make sense of the present and suggest the way that things could change in the future.
