HIST 3401 - Social and Cultural History during the Twentieth Century

Institution:

Southern Polytechnic State University

Subject:

Description:

Students will demonstrate an understanding of the ideas and ideals that have helped to transform the world during the Twentieth Century. Often called "the people's century," the last hundred years have witnessed profound changes in thought, ranging from Freud to post-modernism, a transition in art from Impressionism to Andy Warhol, and the evolution of musical traditions from Ragtime to Rap. At the same time, women and people of color have attained new rights and embraced new roles in societies around the world. And, while the United States has successfully exported mass culture to the rest of the planet, people in many nations have reacted negatively - and sometimes violently - to what they perceive as American social and cultural hegemony.
