Revised:

  Liberal Arts. Although there is a variety of definitions to explain this area of education, in very general terms it can be defined as an “academic course of instruction at a college intended to provide general knowledge and comprising the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, as opposed to professional or technical subjects.” The idea of the Liberal Arts has become a very controversial topic throughout the system of education and some argue that it is warned to have a great decline in the school system while others believe that it is still so important throughout the curriculum of many educations. Jeffrey Scheuer (author of “Critical Thinking and the Liberal Arts”) and Sanford Ungar (“7 Major Misperceptions About the Liberal Arts”)both wrote articles to spark their own debate about the liberal arts and where this education stands for today’s students. Personally, prior to reading these articles and after I believe that the liberal arts is a key component of today’s education and it should still be present throughout the curriculum.
