Introduction:

"Technology alone is not enough-it's technology married with the liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing." - Steve Jobs, introducing the iPad 2 in 2011 (MindEdge, Inc., 2014)

From your studies, you have seen how culture, belief systems, and exposure to the arts affect the way people view the world. Learning about these differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of what it means to be human. When we understand and value the humanistic point of view, we bring creative solutions and fresh new ideas to the challenges we face in our personal and professional lives.
