I have to write a paper and I did not recieve my book in time for class and help please. Tank you

Answer 1

Might be easier if I know what book you were supposed to use.

Humanities are the things that are unique to humans.  Generally, that means self-expression and the ability to symbolize.

Each of those sub-disciplines of the humanities has its own bailiwick, so to speak.  Art uses visual media; music uses auditory media, architecture uses construction media, and literature uses linguistic media.  Philosophy is concered with pure thought.

Hope that helped a little.
