Subject:

Lib Learn/Human Trad-E

Description:

This course will introduce students to the broad range of human cultures from prehistory to the present, taking a thematic approach rather than a strictly chronological one. In this course, we will cover various episodes in the development of human cultures across the globe, such as the rise of civilization, the emergence of urban societies, religious beliefs and practices, cultural contacts and conflicts, divisions between rich and poor, gender relations across cultures, and the artistic and literary achievements of the world. This course asks students to think critically about ideas within their historical contexts and to examine ways in which human expressions relate to and reflect broad intellectual and cultural patterns. Students will take a total of six credits of Human Traditions, three credits with designation history/political science and three credits with designation english/philosophy. This section is an examination of human endeavors from the perspectives of literature and philosophy and religion. Clarification:The Human Traditions requirement is a two-course sequence. The course will cover topics from different disciplinary perspectives and from different chronological periods. Students must take one course with a History/Political Science perspective (LILH designation), and one course with a Literature/Philosophy perspective (LILE designation). In addition, students must take one of these courses in the fall semester (201 designation) and one in the spring semester (202 designation).
