How can someone say art history is important? It is so damn irrelevant. Sure, it might make someone a more rounded person, but how the hell is this supposed to make someone smarter, wiser, or more successful? If you want to learn history, then take a history course that deals with facts. All the people that seem to take this class are hipsters who smoke tooooo much weed, arent very bright, yet are incredibly smug. so tell me, if the people who study this junk do nothing but smoke weed and make the starbucks lines longer why, why, WHY is this subject matter important? I dont care if you find it interesting, because i tihnk it is too, im just saying it is competeley useless.
then study foreign policy, travel, or study cultures as a whole? why would you study culture in an indirect manner if you are interested in it?
