Re: Is there a "right" answer?
I would say humanity is focused on goal setting while science is focused on goal reaching. About the only thing science cannot do is set an end goal for experiments. That is where humanities come in. Humanities would assign things value(generally to people and satisfying a certain need or want of theirs), science would then be the processing of most efficiently maximizing that value.
