Describe "the humanities" in your own words and understanding

b. identify at least three distinct subject areas in "the humanities"

For me, the humanities are the discipline that studies the different type of ways how the society/people process and document the human experiences such as history, languages, arts, religion and other social sciences.

Three distinct subject areas in the humanities field are:

Philosophy: Social science that studies problems such as justification, existence and others. History: Is the collected information about the past. Archaeology: Comprehends the study of human activity through material culture.
