Science vs. Humanities

I am in my sophomore year at LaGuardia, with a major in Liberal Arts; Social Science and Humanities. My educational goals are to transfer to a 4-year university in the fall, and attain a bachelors degree in the arts, eventually continuing on to attain a masters degree in my choice career field. My career plans are to incorporate my communication skills in the retail industry and work either in brand building, or marketing, or merchandising. I was born in the 1990's and this has made me a child of technology, however I am thoroughly interested in humanities and have a deep appreciation for both. I find that one simply does not replace the other, and for this reason they are both necessary to advancement and well being. I think most people in the United States share this same opinion. Whether or not they are consumed by either of the two, I feel there are very few people who can deny the importance of each. I do not think that the majority of people today accept science as a way of understanding the world because I do not find that science provides that sort of meaning. However, I do feel that humanities does a better job at providing this sort of information and that is one of its many appealing qualities that make it imperative to our culture.
