Why does liberal studies subject need to learn in some countries? What factors will raise its teaching and learning need to any countries ? I shall explain the possible factors to influence its learning and teaching as below: Any students and teachers want to know why you need to learn liberal studies. I don't admire or count as worthwhile any study which aims at making money for this subject. Such studies are just hiring out our talents and are only of value if they train the mind and do not pre-occupy it. We should only spend time on them as long as the mind has nothing better to do, as they our apprenticeship, not our proper work. You can see why liberal studies are so called: they are worthy of a free man. But only one study is truly liberal in making a man free, and that is the study of wisdom, with is strength of purpose and its noble and exalted ideals. Liberal education does not have an easily identifiable essence. . . . But the fact is that no other form of education is capable of so thoroughly examining universal or even particularistic existential and moral issues. No other form of education is able to concentrate on the most important questions of how life is to be lived or how it is to be lived in relation to other lives. Liberal education offers the intellectual and emotional basis on which is constructed a capacity to make decisions. It is the means by which men and women have sought to interpret the world or to take a comprehensive view of it. . . . The inevitable conclusion is that the telltale identifying marks of a liberal education are the manner in which a subject is taught or learned, the spirit in which it is offered, and the attitudes that may just result from the teaching and learning. Nowadays, we live in a culture divided between two conceptions of a liberal education. The older one is the idea of an education that is liberalis, "fitted for freedom," in the sense that it is aimed at freeborn gentlemen of the propertied classes. This education initiated the elite into the time-honored traditions of their own society; it sought continuity and fidelity, and discouraged critical reflection. The "new" idea interprets the word liberalis differently. An education is truly "fitted for freedom" only if it is such as to produce free citizens, citizens who are free not because of wealth or birth, but because they can call their minds their own. Male and female, slave-born and freeborn, rich and poor, they have looked into themselves and developed the ability to separate mere habit and convention from what they can defend by argument. They have ownership of their own thought and speech, and this imparts to them a dignity that is far beyond the outer dignity of class and rank
