analyze your issue/event through the lens of history, and
address the following:
· How does this issue/event interact with the history lens and impact social issues?
· In what ways does the history lens help articulate a deeper understanding of the
social issue(s) that inform your issue/event?
analyze your
issue/event through the lens of the humanities by exploring the following
questions:
· How is this issue/event portrayed creatively in society? What is the message or
commentary of this representation?
· How does this representation interact with you in your personal and professional
lives?
At the core of the humanities is human creativity, and they
explore the things that humanity creates and how they offer insight into the
way people experienced their present, interacted with their culture, and
comprehended abstract concepts and big questions about humanity’s place in the
universe. The humanities broaden perspectives and promote an understanding of
multiple experiences, cultures, and values through various mediums of creative
human expression—such as literature, fine art, dance, photography, philosophy
and religion, film and television, music, even the internet and social media—
many of which are taught as separate academic disciplines. Within the
humanities, both the artist’s (or creator’s) intent and audience reception of a
creative artifact are considered to help understand cultural values and why
they matter. They celebrate cultural diversity while also highlighting cultural
similarity.
History
Many of us are familiar with history as being a list of
dates, events, and people to memorize, but history is so much more than simply
dates and memorizing facts. Your primary exposure to history could have been in
grade school required classes or in documentaries about subjects you find
interesting. There is so much more to history, however. History tells the
stories of our past to help us better understand how we got to the present. In
addition to dates, events, and people, history encompasses first-hand accounts
of experiences that include artifacts from an era (tools, clothes, toys, etc.),
letters or diaries from people who lived during a certain time, documents from
a time period, photographs, and, when possible, interviews with people who
lived through the events that historians study. Together, these historical
remnants help write a story of a particular time, which is then folded into the
stories of history we are living and making today
