Why is it important for everyone to study humanities, or is it important

To get full points, each assignment is completed on a weekly basis should be about a page of typed critical thought. I expect each question to be answered thoroughly as this will greatly help aid you in class discussions.  

1.   Why is it important for everyone to study humanities, or is it important? Explain and give thought to why one should or should not study the discipline of humanities based on information from your text and life experience.  
2.  Why is the study of Humanities fundamentally different from all other studies?  Why is not considered easy to study the field of Humanities?
3. Are you prepared to question your sets of beliefs you have about life?  If not, can you give an example of a belief-set that you are not willing to compromise?
