Discussion

Focus your discussion on the following:

• Do companies today take culture, as defined in Unit 1, into proper account and balance it along with other aspects of productivity? Why or why not? 
  • Provide two specific instances from your experience and from academic literature to support your response. Be sure to include APA-formatted references in your response for sources you use to support the explanations and arguments. 
• How can an individual sustain and grow a healthy and useful culture in the areas of music, literature, art, theater, education, or religion? 
  • Which area(s) of the humanities should be emphasized? Why?  
  • What is the role of the individual versus the role of government in sustaining and building a healthy and robust culture through the humanities? 
• What is the role of educational institutions in shaping and encouraging specific cultural and humanities concepts alongside the emphasis on knowledge and facts?
