Five Humanities Outcomes

Over the course of the semester, I learned about the power of nonviolence and successfully met five humanities outcomes in which as individuals were able to analyze and interpret different ideas and historical events that made an impact in the world.

The first humanities outcome was about being able to analyze, interpret and emerge contemporary works using the human imagination. In the beginning, of the semester we looked at a video about a poor community who was living in poverty. This community lived in poor conditions were trash was the only thing they saw. Many children living in this community did not have the opportunity to pursue an education however this group of children had a brilliant idea to use trash in order to create musical

We began by focusing on Martin Luther King civil rights movement and his success in helping the black community.

I also saw this movement from an economic perspective when Chavez main objective was for farmworkers to work under a well-represented union and receive higher wages. We also looked at the founder of this nonviolent movement and from a psychological perspective. When Gandhi and his followers were marching the British military came and began to severely beat Gandhi’s followers.
