Why does the study of Liberal Arts matter in today’s society that values specialization?

Liberal arts comprises topics we may refer to almost every day: literature, philosophy, mathematics, and social and physical sciences. To understand these topics and explore them in depth means to understand the world and its history, and how we as people create and develop. With such a spectrum of knowledge, liberal arts graduates go on to get jobs in fields that appreciate a depth of understanding and the exploration of ideas, including advertising and marketing, writing, law, public relations, and even cultural roles such as curators and archivists at museums and galleries. Even when wider society doesn't see it, we are all affected by the topics covered by the liberal arts every day and it's therefore essential that there are people interested in breadth of study and then delivering their interpretation of different topics in a creative format. After all, arts spending is up and, generally in society, we appreciate the creations of the liberal arts, such as books and visual entertainment. Without these, the world would not be what it is now and we would not have retained such heritage.
