Interdisciplinary Perspective: one in which 2 or more disciplines are brought together and interact with one another, and have an effect on another's perspective.
Liberal Arts: areas of study that are intended to give you general knowledge rather than to develop specific skills needed for a profession.
Vocation: a strong desire to spend your life doing a certain kind of work.
To me interdisciplinary perspective is the way that someone
views a particular branch of knowledge, and is something that we college
students need to have. Even if we find that our anthropology class is the most
boring thing ever, we need to look at it from a different perspective. It is
not up to our professors to make the class interesting, but rather the students
to see how the class can be intrinsically interesting.
Two other
important words that I came across this week were liberal arts and vocation.
During this week’s readings the words liberal arts education kept coming up,
but I never really knew what it was. Liberal arts are basically just a general
knowledge of areas that you wouldn’t come across if you focusing a specific
career. Also vocation I found out to be
something that you want to spend the rest of your life doing. So if you were
going to a vocational school for electricity, it would be because you have a
love for that trade and want to spend your life doing that profession.
