SOC 288 - Social Ident & Globalization

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

As information technology proliferates, the farthest reaches of the earth are drawn closer to each other; indeed, societies around the globe are increasingly interconnected. A consequence of this that the larger world is having an ever more profound affect on 'our' own life experiences. Just as American Culture is spreading itself around the world, other societies, too, have an impact on 'us'. Differences and Identity will examine representations of 'other' cultures and of 'other' identities, through American popular (including films, TV, newspapers, news stories, and so on), so as to engender a critical appreciation of stereotyping processes. The course will also examine 'alternative' images of the world, produced and circulated elsewhere, which show different cultures and identities in a new light.
