Social Studies
Humanities Curriculum |
.jpg) A
part of curriculum which studies the interaction of
people, the environment, the economy and the past.
It contemplates and investigates how people interact
with each other and the rest of the world. Issues
and inquiry are its foundation in history,
geography, ecology, government, economics, law,
philosophy, religion, psychology, sociology and
other areas of human interest.
"Humanities are academic
disciplines that
study aspects of human society and culture,
including certain
fundamental questions asked by humans.
During the Renaissance,
the term "humanities" referred to the study of
classical literature and language, as opposed to the
study of religion, or "divinity".
The study of the humanities was a key part of the secular curriculum
in universities at the time. Today, the humanities
are more frequently defined as any fields of study
outside of natural
sciences, social
sciences, formal
sciences (like mathematics),
and applied
sciences (or professional
training).
They use methods that are primarily critical,
speculative, or interpretative and have a
significant historical element—as distinguished from
the mainly empirical approaches
of science."
