I think one of my favorite aspect of classics is the expansion of what it means. Over the years I’ve noticed the umbrella of classics has expanded to Egypt, The Middle East, Persia, and such. Since all these places existed in the same time and all had influence over each other it’s nice to see the broadened scope beyond just the European lens.
totally agree, personally would love if they just made Egypt officially part of classics. roman, greek, Egyptian, so much more fun. magine learning 3 languages! latin, greek, and coptic.
@@jimmyli319 Egypt is already in classics - because of Rome and the greeks under Alexander. might as we'll add all Egyptian history and civilization to the classics
It's also a very easy degree to get, compared to a real subject (I have a degree in classics, and another in engineering and computing science from two prestigious universities in Scotland ).
It was pointless for you because you didn’t understand it/didn’t use it after classics you can study in law,philosophy,politics or even become a academic. It also learns you to do your own research and understand literature and writing, teaches you 2 languages that are relevant in the world of academics and researchers in science and learns you to think about things deeper then before

Are you saying it is useless compared to Stem?
If you think Classics is easy, you're a midwit.
A real subject?
I don't think GCU is presigious
Should we be valuing degrees based on their difficulty? I don't understand why "harder" subjects are considered more "real" than "easier" ones.
I was taught Classical Studies as a child in the 70's at school.It had no effect on me and was pointless.Just like religion.
Maybe you didn't get it

I think instead of studying things based on how you value its usefulness you should study things you actually have an interest in
