Once you have reviewed this material, please address the following question in your initial post of 300+ words, including at least 2 additional academic resources.

1. Explain what you see as the importance of a liberal arts education and how this relates to you.
2. Using the two additional resources you have located, discuss the relevance of a liberal arts education in the 21st century. Explain what these authors tell us and discuss how this is either a valid or an invalid argument in support of a liberal arts education and why or why not.
3. Please watch carefully the Turnitin Similarity Score for your work. If you are flagged orange or red (that is a very, very high similarity score), your work will not be accepted by me – and will be referred to the administration. Please be mindful to synthesize your own work. Avoid lengthy direct quotes as supporting evidences, but describe those evidences in your own words –with appropriate references to internal and external sources from where they are taken by you, e..g. (J. Smith, 20016). Turnitin provides you the ability to rewrite and resubmit that assignment as many times as you need to ensure that it is your original own work.
