Critical Thinking- Assignment # 1
Hi! My name is Adriana Huinatl and this is my second year here at LaGuardia Community College. My major is Liberal Arts: Humanities and Science, and which Im planning on graduating from here and then move on to a four-year college. Right now my main option is City College because thats the only college that offers the major that I want to follow, which is International Studies. Another option that I have is more towards the Political Sciences, and that gives me more options when it comes to choose a collge.
Some of the main reasons why I like International Studies and the Political Science is becasue I consider myself to be Humanist. I believe in human quialites to take different aproches towards solving general problems including the emotional ones, which are not less important than the rational probelems that machines and the science can only solve.
The reason why I like thre idea of Humanist is since I first studied the Renassaince and the other eras that came after that, which were provoke by the Renassaince. After the Medieveal times, or also call the Dark Ages, the Re-birth of culture, art, thinkers such as Leonardo DaVince and Rembrack, Rene Decartes, Hume and among others. These people I feel are the great thinkers that started the path for future people that will follow the same steps. These thinkers came out with ideas that revolution the rest of the humanity and even nowdays we study in universities, the big accomplishment among others was the fact that most of these thinkers were at the same time very religious people. Such Eras like the Renaissance open the path to new eras such as the Enlightment, Reformation, Scentific Revolution and the Industrial Revolution which lasted until the 20th century.
