Assignment Four Noah Welch

There are many benefits to a liberal arts education. I think that it is important to learn about everything the world has to offer and the liberal arts provide a solid foundation in many categories. Reading is extremely important to learn about the past and develop and challenge new ideas. It gives us skills that help people think in the world, such as critical thinking and superb communication skills. These skills are useful in all fields and are applicable everywhere.  In my personal life, reading novels helps me relax and poetry makes me consider other options. The liberal arts provide a solid foundation in general studies that give people a firm grasp of useful subjects that make students well rounded.
