Philosophy & Government
Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas
Our school year is closing, and the development of our students, in the humanities, is worth taking a look. Students should develop the philosophical and governmental components which are part of humanities. This school year, our students should have develop these two aspects which are beneficial to those who know and understand them. Students should be able to demonstrate their own thoughts and ideas as well as present them by sharing them with others. With student growth in philosophy and government, the student can demonstrate they are preparing themselves for the challenges that lay ahead.
Humanities
Humanities can be defined as the roots that grow within humans, whose branches expand to form a plant. Human activity and interaction can be understood through the study of humanities. Our understanding of these activities and interactions can be helpful in educating our students to become better learners. By learning how people act and interact, we can learn what is good for the development of students. The humanities are composed of many aspects, each reflective of human thought, and the effect it has had throughout the development of societies. Philosophy and government are two important aspects for students to learn and develop.
Philosophy
Students should be thinkers who use what they have learned and study to become better students, and share their thoughts with others so they may benefit from what they have learned. Philosophy is a love of learning that students should develop as they accumulate knowledge and understanding. By demonstrating that they understand the knowledge they have accumulated, students show their philosophies. Each student will develop a unique philosophy based on their own interpretation of what they learn. Their philosophies should be as solid and firm as their knowledge and understanding are. Philosophy is beneficial for the development of students as learners, because it can help develop a love of learning that allows them to become better students.
Government
From the time we are born, we come to know that there are those who are older that us. They were born before us, and as a result they are older than us. But as we grow, we learn that we have a place between those who are older that us, as well as those who are born after us, and are therefore younger than us. Time teaches us that as time passes, those who are older than us begins to dwindle, and those who are younger that us begins to grow. Yet us, those older than us, and those younger than us, can see the need to have guidance. This guidance is demonstrated by humans in the form of government. People can agree to be lead, and people can agree to the direction in which they will be led, and in doing so, people agree to be governed. Demonstrating an understanding of government shows that our students know that leadership from the individual, to the classroom, to the school, and the world is needed to provide guidance and stability.
