This article is all about whether attention in education should be on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) or should there be some humanities involved. The author ends the article with humanities and STEM should merge in education for the 21st century. My thoughts before I read this article were not so much, but the author makes some good points.
One statement that he said that can really make you ponder is students need "to know there are values beyond profit and self-interest." That is a pretty powerful statement when you really think about it. I think sometimes people lose site of the importance of values and their purpose.
