Countries like Japan and Spain seek to reduce or even eliminate the humanities of their academic programs. Is this the end of the humanities? This talk will explain why humanities are so important in our lives, our history and our legacy as human beings, and why we should worry when they want to get rid of these disciplines. Países como Japón o España pretenden reducir, o incluso eliminar, las humanidades de sus programas académicos. ¿Es este el fin de las humanidades? Esta charla te dejará ver la importancia de las humanidades en la vida, la historia y nuestro legado y a conocer por qué debemos preocuparnos de que las eliminen de nuestra educación.
