You’ve laid a lot of groundwork already, so we should be able to move fairly quickly through putting together the first half of your exploration document. You already drafted responses to the first three elements when you selected your works and theme on page 2.4.8; we will revisit one of them below before breaking new ground.
Works and Theme
In this section, you will use writing templates to relate your theme to your personal and professional experiences.
Last week, you thought about how your theme relates to your personal experience. Take a few minutes to review your work below and reflect on what you wrote. If you’d like to make any changes, go back and edit the template on page 2.4.8.

There are a a lot of cultural issues going on in the world. I feel like a cultural issue for me is with my supervisor. She is under-equipped for her job so she over- supervises her team always. That causes problems with the team. The supervisor is insecure with the job so they are bothering the team members.
Relate the Theme to Professional Experiences
Now that you’ve reflected on the personal application of your theme, you are going to apply your selected theme to work or professional experiences. Keep in mind that you must draft this element from scratch. From here on, you are entering uncharted waters. For this section of your exploration document, you will need to do the following:
- Discuss how the theme relates to a particular profession, work situation, or experience.
- Expand your discussion to include the ways in which an understanding of the humanities is beneficial in professional or work settings.
- Provide specific details to support your explanation.
You must complete a prior exercise in order to begin this one.
Use the prompt below to describe how the theme you chose is connected to professional experiences.
Writing Template In three or four sentences, identify a profession or work situation that may be impacted by your theme; then explain how the theme is connected to the profession and how the profession benefits from a general understanding of the humanities.

Evaluate Your Response:
- Be sure to mention the theme. You want your response to make a leap from theme to profession and from profession to the value of the humanities.
- Read it over. Are you happy with what you’ve written?
Introduce Your Humanities Resources
In this section, you will use the writing template to describe the three sources you are using to research your two works and your theme.
Describe Your Sources
At this point, you have drafted the first four requirements for your exploration document. The next requirement is a discussion of the sources you are using to research your two selected works and your theme. Your sources must be scholarly and relevant to your theme or works. In your discussion, make sure to address the following:
- Describe each of your sources (you need at least three), and make sure to include the title of each one along with the author and other pertinent information.
- Explain what makes each source relevant for your works or theme.
- Include comparisons of your sources to note their similarities and differences.
- Discuss the process you used to search for and choose your sources, noting any dead ends you reached and how you changed your search strategy to get past them.
