This is very crucial for understanding new business patterns and models, humanity teaches us how to understand common people’s habits, their likes, and dislikes.
2.  Analyzing and understanding our world better:
   This world is consist of a group of peoples who have adapted some culture and which shows some common patterns among them. Thus by understanding these cultural values, we can understand this world in a much better way and this cannot be possible without the help of the humanities.
