dicapino Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 A true university education encompasses far more than the narrow, specialized study of a single discipline. Only through exploring the broad spectrum of liberal arts courses can students be truly learned Is true learning one that explores liberal arts courses or just simply focus on a specialized study of a single discipline? Some will argue that true learning should not include courses that are not related to an individual's discipline, but others state that a proper education should include the liberal arts in respective of the discipline. i believe for an individual to be truly learned liberal art courses should be offered, so as to have a vast knowledge base. Firstly, offering the liberal art courses will make students have a broad knowledge base. Taking course outside their specialized discipline will allow students encounter thoughts and ideas in literature and poetry. This will make such knowledge less mundane to them; also, they can relate with their contemporaries on issues outside their specialized field. For example, science inclined students will have a predilection towards artworks and pick up habits of visiting art galleries. Furthermore, it will help make it clear to students that the boundaries between various fields have been lowered with the effect of modernization. What happens in a particular field has an effect on the other field. For instance, before a project is developed by a science team, there has to be knowledge of what the basic needs of the community are. Science projects have to affect the citizens positively; thus, scientist should have understanding of social behaviour of individuals through the liberal arts. In conclusion to be truly learned an individual should take liberal art courses in respective of their specialized discipline. It helps the individual create a vast knowledge base and if such programs are fixed into the curriculum, it will help produce bold individuals rather than the wacky nerds that singular specialized disciplines produce. i did this essay in like 30mins. hope its okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
