THE STUDY OF HUMANITIES
![Page 3: The Seven Deadly Sins: A View from WVU](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103016/5550d00eb4c905e8318b4cb4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The humanities can be defined as the study of the way in which people process and
document the human experience. We have used philosophy, literature, religion, art,
music, history and language to understand and record our existence.

OUR PROJECT
• As our final project for the Spring 2014 Honors Humanities class, in which we studied the Seven Deadly Sins, we decided to take a more modern approach to these historic and notorious sins.
• Individually, we embraced students from all across the campus of West Virginia University to ask them to complete a simple survey on the Seven Deadly Sins.

OUR PROJECT CONTINUED
• The participants were asked to associate the first word that came to mind when they heard the sin, as well as to rate the sin, and what was the most prevalent sin on campus at West Virginia University.
• These slides cover a range of the book cover, the sin, word association “wordles”, statistics taken by our group on the specific sin and finally the deadliest sin at WVU.

CONCLUSION OF OUR SEVEN DEADLY SIN STUDY
• Most agreed upon sin: Anger
• Least agreed upon sin: Pride
• Statistically speaking, when a subject rates a sin as the most prevalent, they believe that this sin is seen more often than the others (>14%) Subjects believed that their own personal sin aligned with the most prevalent 25% of the time
![Page 50: The Seven Deadly Sins: A View from WVU](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103016/5550d00eb4c905e8318b4cb4/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Less than 5% identified the most prevalent sin as also being the deadliest.(optimistic??)
• Roughly 10% of those surveyed identified their own sin as also being the deadliest.
CONCLUSION OF OUR SEVEN DEADLY SIN STUDY CONTINUED

• Subjects consistently ranked their own sin lower than average in severity.
• Subjects also ranked the most prevalent sin as lower than average, though not as low as their own.
