The above terms all have qualities about them that provide unity. Humanities provides unity in study, combining arts, philosophies, and other defining characteristics of culture. History provides preservation of past unity through explanation and recording while, at the same time, promises unity in the future by offering past lessons to be explained. Art, film, and literature not only account for history, but also provide a strong unification between peoples’ emotions and allow cultural common ground. Society, culture, and sub-culture are all terms that unify groups of people sharing similarities, along with the term community. Socio-Economics is the unification of social and economic factors. And Family is unity through ancestry, perhaps the most unifying aspect of all. In essence, Humanities is the study of human unity, and how that unity has shaped its related culture.
