Humanities

This requirement aims to teach students to analyze information and perspectives, to identify relationships between ideas, hidden assumptions and potential bias, and to distinguish between known elements (facts) and suspected elements (hypotheses, opinions), and between correlations and causal relationships. Further, it challenges students to understand the human condition, empathize with those suffering, recognize injustice, and detect God's creative presence in the world.
