When it comes to investigating the humanities, it's not as simple as
following a mathematical equation or conducting a research
experiment. When looking into the humanities, one is essentially
diving into their own deeper emotions to better understand the
creations of others. The humanities are the only field that I am aware
of where you ask yourself how an artifact makes you feel and what
emotions it may evoke. When researching artifacts in history with
not artistical significance like an old tool or weapon, you're trying to
seek out its origins, perhaps the people or person whom may have
held or created them. Although those questions get answered with
artifacts of the humanities, these artifacts force you to think beyond
just the basics and the physical and makes you think about not just
your own feelings and emotions, but those of the creator, and those
of the people who may have lived at that time.
