Wallace Bacon, a recipient of an honorary doctorate from Emerson College in 1975, wrote that the liberal arts, or humanities,“are concerned with the question of what makes life worth living. And that question concerns not simply oneself but others. The humanities must help us learn who we are; they must help us learn the otherness of others.”

In this light, describe an encounter with someone or something different—an “other” which revealed to you your sense of self and your relation to humanity on a grand scale. This encounter may involve a person, place, culture, or text (book, speech, film, play, etc.).

You are asked to write a 4, double spaced page final paper on your encounter with something different, outside your everyday life or culture. To accomplish this you could: interview a person of a different culture or faith and seek to understand their ‘truth’, read a book from another culture or religion and seek to understand their ‘truth’, attend a cultural event or play and write about the impact it had on you (for this one you would need to be more than just an observer).
