Institution:

Fairleigh Dickinson University-College at Florham

Subject:

Description:

This course begins with a text, such as Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart," which includes the theme of cross-cultural conflict. Four geographic regions will serve as the focus of the course: China, Latin America, Sub-Sahara Africa and Egypt. These regions may vary from time to time. The course will not attempt an in-depth study of the cultural values of these regions but, rather, will seek to introduce students to the concept of cultural diversity through illustration. The course will center around four organizing subjects or themes: 1)livelihood, 2)family, 3)social organization and 4)world view. [1/31/2002]
