Student Sample: Humanities is greatly valued in the medical profession. Our lesson this week defined humanities as the study of human culture. Studying humanities in the health care profession can greatly improve how a medical professional understands and communicates with their patients for many reasons. The lesson has also taught me that by studying humanities, future health care professionals can learn how to critically think and reflect on the situations they are put in. Literature about humanities also helps medical professionals learn about other people’s perspectives one certain situations. Not only does humanities teach them about others perspectives but it also opens room for discussion regarding difficult ethical or legal issues (Singh, 2020). Doctor Satendra Singh states that implementing humanities into the medical profession will help with decision making, collaboration, improve learning, and can even help professionals learn ways to cope with stressors and burnout (Singh, 2020). 
Art, literature, music, etc, from other periods of time can enhance my career by making me take a step back and really analyzing a situation. Going through chapter 1 in our book this week really made me realize that with all of the art that was talked about from the past. Of course I have seen these paintings, but I never really put too much thought into them or what they mean. It was actually really interesting to look at the deeper behind the pieces of artwork. This will help me not only in my personal life but also in my nursing career by reflecting every situation I am in. By reflecting the situations I am put in I will be able to see different perspectives and opinions. This will be vital when working with patients and developing treatment plans. Reflection should be used in my everyday personal life in the present to avoid unnecessary conflict. 
Music is the most important aspect of humanities in my personal life. I do not go a day without listening to music. I use music to deal with all of my emotions because I believe there is a song for everything. I have all types of music to listen to for however I may be feeling, it really helps put my mind at ease. Music is also something my friends and I bond over which I truly value. I love listening to songs that they like that I may have never heard before. One song that is extremely meaningful to me is 1-800-273-8255 by Logic. Honestly, I do not even like the artist Logic, but this song discusses suicidal thoughts and how he overcame them and it really hits home for me. I lost my friend Brandon by suicide in 2018. This song really sent a message to millions of people about the battle with depression and everything that comes along with it. I admire Logic for his bravery to share this story with everybody. Even though my friend did not overcome his battle, this song still brings him to my mind every time I hear it, and for that I am forever grateful. 
Art would have to be the most important aspect to me for my future career. I would say this because everyone interprets arts differently. My mom and I could look at the same painting and feel very different emotions from it based on past experiences or emotions. I think accepting different points of view is vital for nursing. As a nurse I want to be respectful of my patients wishes and I want to be able to understand where they are coming from.
