My jaunt into humanities was 100% literacy for ESL students disguised as humanities. "read this book so we can insist that you read English without requiring you to read English in math class because we lost that court case" "Write a five paragraph essay so that we can tell Microsoft that you grasp the basics of argumentation" Humanities might not be pathetically remedial all over the united states? But everywhere I've encountered it, it's been an utter and total waste of time taught by dead-enders being hazed through their dissertations.
