Coincidentally, this past month my modern world history class was actually focusing on WWI, largely through a historical and literature based background, but as part of my unit project I took a close look at how technology had changed going into and during the war, and how that affected the people involved and how it was fought. I think that there will always be people who identify more with the humanities or STEM, and that this will always cause, in a unified subject curriculum, lead to focusing on one more than the other. My own school takes a humanities first approach. Another nearby takes a STEM first approach, and to me, this is failing the students. I keep them largely separate, with some room for cross over, to give them the room they need to be taught as fully fleshed-out ideas, instead of one eating the other up. And I would say that yes, I am heavily biased in this matter, largely by my perspective that STEM can do more ‘good’ for the world than the humanities can. When I look at the world I look at how to increase the number of people working in STEM to well over half the population. Why? Because I believe that STEM teaches people more about how to solve problems and innovate than the humanities do. I’m focused on how to improve the world, how to make our current world, the world of tomorrow, free of hunger, free of climate change, free of land issues, more technologically advanced. So to me, I’m wary of pushing everything into a unified subject, because I’m scared of letting the humanities eclipse STEM.
