Write an essay on the topic “Are exact sciences more important than humanities?”

The exact sciences are quite important, as they help significantly with understanding nature and the world around us. The exact sciences can help with the development of new technology, medicine, and processes for improving the quality of human life. Math can also help significantly with efficiency in these processes.

However, it is wrong to say that the exact sciences are necessarily more important than humanities. The humanities help us understand society and how humans act and interact with/respond to the environment around them. This understanding can help us improve mental health services, understand societal issues better, and be more patient with others. Humanities subjects like economics can also help significantly with improving resource allocation and efficiency in the world.

There are also many subjects which are a mix of humanities and exact sciences. For instance, econometrics studies the math aspect of economics. In high level psychology and humanities subjects as a whole statistic plays a major role in understanding the subject. The only real argument for exact sciences being more important than humanities is that humanities subjects tend to rely on exact sciences to some degree, but this does not necessarily mean it is more important.
