  • Why I should bother with world history
  • World history shows you an immense web of stories and heroes that have gone into the construction of where we are now. Its overwhelming how much heartache and bravery has gone into founding the government and basic truths we now live by. Its because of those groups and movements that some people now enjoy certain rights. They deserve to be recognized and remembered.
  • Why I should bother studying literature.
  • That's like asking why you should eat! Books are a way of delving into someones emotions, a way of seeing characters in a more intimate way than you would ever get to in real life. They make you think in ways you may never have thought before and let you see things from a completely different angle. They help you define your own opinions by prompting you to think about these things.

  • Why I should bother studying language arts.
  • Language arts gives you the tools to communicate through writing. Its amazing what you can express with the right words and grammar. Any emotion you can think of, every story you've wanted to tell, anything you've longed to say can be said with it's tools.
  • Why I should bother studying geography.
  • Well geography plays a large role in how cultures lived and what they believed in. Knowing what resources and climates certain people lived with explains a lot about why they acted the way they did. It helps you understand them better.
