The connection between these words and their dynamics are all examples of humanities. History, film and literature are documentations about the interactions of our lives and those how lived before us. Culture and art describe the impression of our lives. Society and socio-economics is about how we interrelate with each other. Studying humanities has become very exciting for me because I have always found these aspects our lives very enriching with knowledge.
