I know a lot of students hate the general classes required for graduation, but I love them. I think most students want to spend their time focusing on subjects they are most interested in, which I understand. What I love about generals is the feeling I get at the end of the semester. It feels like the world shrinks a little each semester. Not that the diameter of the world physically drops a few sizes like the waist of my sister on a diet, but that it appears smaller to me. I can understand it a little more.
American Heritage has helped me understand more of the basics of our history and our government. I don't by any means feel like an expert in politics, but the things I've learned have helped me feel less intimidated by politics. I could say the same about about my Statistics class or any of the others. I think generals are so important in our education because they teach us how to live in the world we are in, while our majors may teach us how to get ahead in it.
