Studying at a university that focuses on the sciences such as MCPHS University does not allow for much time to focus on the literate arts. When the main purpose of the education is to memorize statements claimed to be fact and learn how to perform a reaction that has been done hundreds of times over, the ability to create unique ideas is lost. In studying literate arts, a whole new way of thinking is activated, and it allows for emotional connections, interpretations, and original thoughts. It is important to maintain a balance between the two ways of thinking because not only will they be important in a healthcare career, but they are also important for being a member of society. Literate arts provide people with a different form of communication

They are expected to provide effective and skilled medical care in a variety of environments which often are unfamiliar to them. With these constant changes, nurses are required to quickly acclimate themselves and resolve the problem in front of them. The ability to think critically allows for them to treat patients effectively and increases the possibility of them coming up with solutions to more difficult cases. It is important to be able to do more than memorize facts; it is necessary to be able to come to your own conclusions based on given information, and this is what critical thinking allows for. At schools like MCPHS where almost everything is a course related to science, it is difficult to focus on more than memorization for any given class. This puts a damper on everyone’s ability to think for themselves and come up with their own ideas and solutions because their knowledge is limited to reciting facts without making inferences. The class does not care what you do with these facts as long as you know they exist and can recite them verbatim. In the real medical profession, this is not the case, and critical thinking is often required because memorized facts alone will not find a solution. Such is the case in Merced where …show more content…
By reading prior medical studies and literature of scientists before you, failures and successes, you can build upon the successes and avoid recreating the failures. This can save time and energy and allow for scientific progress even quicker. By creating a network throughout the world consisting of literate arts, people would have the ideas of others readily available to them, and this would be beneficial simply for giving a new perspective. Miller hopes that there will be a way to connect everyone around the world, and literate arts are a likely way to achieve this. Everyone is able to experience them in some type of way whether it be hearing, seeing, or touching, and then they form a connection along with everyone else who has experienced this literate art. In “Dead Poets Society”, a prestigious group of school boys are taught to focus on their dry studies and obey the strict rules. However, after a new professor exposes them to literature in a way they never experienced before, many of their lives change. The repression that many did not even know was there suddenly became suffocating and they started to evolve as individuals with new goals, perceptions, and outlooks that were always there, just never activated. Our reactions to literate arts allow for us to make inferences about ourselves, and without exposure to them, we really have no way of knowing who we are. Without being exposed to literate arts in university,
