Science is defined as knowledge gained through the process of observations and experimentation. Hard science are these processes through the categories of physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. Humanities is defined as the study of classical literature and languages. Categories and studies that fall under humanities are the study of literature, and philosophy.
Then there are stereotyped definitions of what many people think of when they hear these two studies, humanities and hard science. When many people think of humanities they base it as all opinions. The things that are learned are on discussion and opinion rather than fact based. While with sciences many think of this as only facts. Everything you learn is based on fact, no opinion and that these facts should not change.
In reality, both humanities and science, are fact and opinion based. For science we had to start somewhere in order to get the facts we learn today. Back centuries ago people first purposed an idea that was not originally there, nor did they know if it was true or not. For example, theories like the earth being round, and earth being tilted on an axis. After researching and discussing it, then years later ideas are finalized and proven right, creating the facts and knowledge we have today. Science starts as ideas and opinions on certain topics and then evolve to facts that are taught around the world. In humanities courses they provide you with facts that were once created, but then encourage the thought of you to think differently or to create something new. That is they key aspect that is different in science courses. They are based on just teaching you the information and facts and what you to memorize these facts. They do not teach and encourage you to think a different possibility as part of their course.
Humanities and science do not oppose one another, in the modern world, they are intertwined. Each of these studies and knowledge have a role of fact and opinion based. Next time you are in a course for humanities or a science, try applying not just one of these aspects, but both and encourage others to use facts to form opinions and ideas.
