The liberal arts should be "defunded" in the eyes
of certain political groups and other people in America. In my eyes the
political arts are a vital part of American history and even in this age of
technological fortune there are needs for people with a liberal arts education.
If all of the technology in the world suddenly became unusable and obsolete,
then people with said liberal arts education will be some of the most sought
after people in the world. Last week the topic of "Are We Free" came
up in class. In the technological sense, we are not free. We depend on
technology so much it Is literally a requirement to have a cell phone in your
pocket or you won’t be able to go throughout the day. Being educated in the
liberal arts frees us from this technology based prison. It is of the upmost
importance that we are educated in the liberal arts.
