Valerie Strauss

Valerie Strauss describes, in her article on The Washington Post, what the word "liberal" means in the term "liberal arts." She says there is much confusion to what liberal arts are and what liberal arts actually means. Everyone has a different comprehension of words so that is why there is so much confusion. Strauss says that the definition of "liberal" is very clear but we all have our own idea of what it means. Both of the authors explained to us the importance of liberal arts and how it is key to having a well-balanced community.
