Taking into consideration the global shift towards innovation and technological development, the rapid changes in the global economy, and the United States Department of Education’s attempts to find a one-size-fits-all solution for America's education woes, our national focus has shifted towards the STEM subject’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This move to STEM-centered instruction has tested the part of the Humanities in American instruction, presenting worries that the mind-boggling accentuation on STEM disciplines has pushed human expressions, Humanities, and human sciences out of the way or even totally good and gone in American study halls. In our ever-changing innovation centered world, the Humanities are required in our study halls now like never before to give equilibrium and point of view. The Humanities fortify our worldwide view, expand our scholarly establishment, instruct us to convey unmistakably, help us to create innovative and basic reasoning abilities, instruct us to be issue solvers, make connected with residents also, masterminds, strengthen social and moral duties and qualities, assist us with understanding the way that science, innovation, and medication have had on society, and make balanced scholastics, understudies, and scholars. It is the ideal opportunity for our country to understand that the Humanities are not simply a stylish extravagance to be filled in as a side dish in the corridors of advanced education, however a fundamental piece of balanced training that should start in the primary school years and proceed all through an individual's life.
