Quality History. The kind that is the hardest to get, but the most beautiful 
one. Where there is no easy answers, and no models to follow. Free Thinking. 
Free Thinking that has always been the most important thing within the 
faculty of the humanities, and as a member of the board at the Student Union 
of the Faculty of Humanities in Lund, I find it quite funny to see that 
there is a clear dominance of people with more left inspired political 
opinions then others, especially within the fields of history and philosophy 
and anthropology.  From both what I have noticed in the people around me and 
from what others have told me from what their experience, this movement to 
the left very often starts after the students have been studying for a year 
or so within the mentioned areas. This will of course be regarded by you 
only as a measure of the indoctrination and propaganda these educations have 
in them, am I right? Well, as a member of the board at the Student Union of 
the Faculty of Humanities, with the explicit task of working to make sure 
that the education holds as High Quality as possible and is as free from 
political agendas as anything can be, And as someone studying within these 
areas I can say that this is definitely not the case. Neither the course 
literatures or the teachers is allowed to express political agendas, but are 
to keep as "objective" as possible. On these grounds, I find this 
left-dominance that grows into free thinking historians and philosophers to 
indeed be Quality assessments.
