Understanding Humanities, I believe affects every job in some way.
Every person has to interact with other people in some way. We do
this in person or not in person. If you can better understand the why
that people are then you can better interact with them. I know
personally understanding someone that is different means I can do
my job better than if I didn't have that knowledge. I have to
understand multiple cultures in order to communicate the most
effective way to help my patients. I work nights so the resources
available are limited. I also have to do this as quickly as I can because
I know people are not in the hospital for fun. I have learned over the
years to notice subtle body language in order to help those that can't
communicate in any other way. I know that most jobs were
interpersonal interaction is involved it takes a lot of time to become
exceptionally good at quickly understanding other cultures. Frontline
workers benefit from studying Humanities as it helps them have
better compassion. It also helps them to see from different
perspectives. This allows for better care to be given and to do so in a
timelier fashion. I think that this will make it so that more people can
be helped. I find that the more I learn to about humanities I am able
to find good things that each patient can focus and discuss with me.
This makes their time go faster and better in the hospital.
