Are The Humanities Important in The Field of Technology

Are the Humanities important in the field of Technology? Yes, If having the knowledge or basis on humanities helps us to understand the tastes and requirements of the client, therefore you can become the desired success for both the company and the customer. The central theme is based on the contribution that could be made by both authors who present their thoughts on the Degree of Humanities combined with some degree of STEM in the Technological area. The difference between one article and another is that Edward Conard presents us with a business and people's administrative staff who create and found high-innovation and technology companies that make an explosion in the economy unprecedented and successful.

While the article by Christian Madsbjerg and Mikkel B. Rasmussen 'We Need More Humanities' presents us with different types of successful people with Degrees in Humanities and/or combined with Degrees of Technology (STEM). These focus on having some relationship with customers and are successful, but unlike Edward Conard's article 'We Don't Need More Humanities' it encompasses other positions of the company that although it is aimed at the product in a certain way relates to the needs of the customer and are successful even if they have a STEM degree with combined humanities.

In my opinion, the authors of 'We Need More Degree in Humanities' present a more credible and convincing argument since it is not only concentrated in the administrative and technological area but presents a more complete and impartial argument in the sense that a whole process, in the end, who decides whether one is successful in both the administrative area or the product is the customer, to the person who will have my product. But if we do not understand their requirements and/or tastes we will never have the client satisfied, because the wait at the end of a career to understand the needs of the client when in a study area we can learn it. Customers will decide the future of the company and their products both may be right but they have to present all the most important areas of the company since it is as important that it manages as the one that makes the product or relates to the customer. The success of a company is everyone can't be just a person or department. That's called working as a team for a common good Succeeding in our company with our customers 'Companies with the most sophisticated such as Intel, Microsoft, and Johnson & Johnson leading the charge are starting to launch major initiatives with names like 'customer-centric marketing' and ‘deep customer understanding’.

The goal of these programs is to help companies better understand the people they are selling the product to, and the problem is that engineers and most designers generally create products for people whose tastes they are similar to yours, this is to understand the customer's behavior and tastes. This must be constantly being done because we must keep up to date to know the behavior and tastes of the client. This is because the client constantly changes his mind, he hopes that the final product is to his liking and taste. Each client is different from having different tastes, opinions, and visions while always asking for the best in different ways, even if they offer the same product.

Both articles were published on the same date and in the same year, July 30, 2013, but with different authors, given in the article Edward Conard, ' We Don't Need More Humanities.' It is limited and updated to one area and/or area only to large companies of high-tech while reporting the article by Christian Madsbjerg and Mikkel B. Rasmussen ' We Need More Humanities Majors' went a little further and is much more up-to-date and comprehensive in information and recommends both companies with educational institutions to have combined STEM and Humanities.

The credentials of the authors while Edward Cornard is a Harvard graduate with an M.B.A degree, author, and economist. In my opinion, he is an authority on the subject discussed. Madsbjerg and Rasmussen the authors of this article are the main partners of Red Associates company which advises Fortune 300 companies. I think that with this little information their credentials are quite credible since they are authorities in the field of business consulting.

In both articles, they appeared in the Washington Post on July 30, 2013. In Mr. Cornard's article, I understand that there is systematic error bias. Since all the information is directed in favor of the article and does not demonstrate anything about how we can remedy those who already have Humanities in the future, you simply have to study STEM to move on. There is no bias in the article by Madsbjerg and Rasmussen. If both authors refer to academics and research; in both articles, the sources are identified and have credibility. If in my opinion, the credibility of both is extremely strong and highly knowledgeable in the field of articles.

The purpose of both articles is to point out the importance of the Humanities in the field of technology, either negatively or positively. Yes, both articles try to persuade the reader that in the article Mr. Cornard there is a problem, but it is not necessary to have a degree in humanities only if you want to be up to date with high technology, which you can only solve by studying some degree in STEM. In the article by Madsbjerg and Rasmussen, the opposite is true, the authors refer to the fact that they need a degree in humanities to understand clients in their different tastes or understandings about technology, they refer to both cases in STEM and Humanities. So important to authors who advocate both business and university in the field of research and development that it should be kept in mind that STEM and the humanities are essential for success in the technology field without having to retrain staff to understand to the customer in their tastes and desires in technology.

Mr. Cornard's article is only informative, the Humanities conclusions are not essential in technology looking only at the technical aspect is true but it is only in the administrative area since it is the area referred to in the article and the conclusions would be reasonable in the high management area. In the article by Madsbjerg and Rasmussen, it is informative, their conclusions are based on points of view from different areas in technology. The authors allow us to have Humanities with Technology or Technology with Humanities to combine both degrees of knowledge in 1 alone regardless of where you are working in the company, from a top executive to a simple team programmer. They are reasonable in the short term and leave room for improvement in the long term with business and education in the area of ​​research and development.

We have to remember that there are two different claims although it has common in the Degree of Humanities, discrepancy, and different claims. On the one hand the article 'We Don't Need More Humanities ' claims that the Degree in Humanities is not necessary for the administrative area in technology, and the article 'We Need More Humanities Majors' claims that the degree in Humanities is essential no matter what technological degree, one focuses on the degree of management but the other focuses on all areas of technical work, especially customer service that said previous no company is not successful if it did not have customers. Their arguments are based on statistics, comments, facts, and comments regarding technology and humanities. The arguments presented by both are valid from each other's points of view. The arguments and evidence presented with convincing the problem is the final approach or result to be able to sustain and maintain their respective claims are different.

The article 'We Need More Humanities Majors' plus we need more degrees in Humanities as it does not focus on the administrative area of the company, but takes into account other positions and takes into account that thinks customer regarding the product I am providing. For a company to be successful depends on having an optimal and excellent work team and above all what you consider as the customer can help me improve my service, product, and efficiency of the company is successful. Anyway, companies no matter the size, products, or service the end will always be the same, make profits. But to achieve this we need to have the knowledge to improve management, workers, products, and a good relationship with our customers no matter what knowledge we have we will always be evolving and improving our contours.
