Usage
The New Humanism
Against Humanism
Paragraph
Humanism purely deals with human nature and interaction. While some may agree with this others do not and some individuals see problems with this. In the first article (The New Humanism) the author speaks about how a humanistic view of a teacher to a student is declining, how the student and teacher relationships are going downhill and how this can ultimately affect how the next generation works. Meanwhile in the second article, the author simply does not agree with humanism. She goes on to state that it is the new head on an old body, the body being Christianity.
