Questioning Our Lives

What do the STEM subjects have anything to do with Art? The humanities teach us to have opinions and different viewpoints. We are taught to question and find different ways to approach an idea. In the scientific world, there is only one answer and only one way to get that answer. There aren’t any ways around it. However, there is one very important thing that branches over both the humanities and sciences: asking questions.
This week we discussed the importance of asking questions. How does one ask questions, what types of questions should one ask, etc… Through movies and personal anecdotes, we learned to ask affective questions.
In terms of the STEM subjects, questions are the basis for all matters. Without questions, no one would ever research new and exciting  subjects. For example, if Galileo didn't question the stars and planets, we wouldn't have explored astronomy.
Interestingly enough, in my Philosophy course, we are learning about the same concept: asking questions. We learned about the various ways of asking questions. Logic, thinking, and reasoning all play a vital role in questioning. By doing so, thoughtful questions are asked. 
In terms of my major, stage management, one has to think and question logically in order to communicate well. Questioning helps one understand another's point of view. Doing so, one can have a positive working relationship.
