3 hours lecture per week Prerequisite(s): ENG 00. ANTH 152 is a critical examination of the modern era through the discipline of Anthropology. In this course, students will investigate the movements of European nations and the impact of colonization on Asia, North and South America and vast expanse of the Pacific Islands. We will study the progress of the great civilizations on earth and follow trends in globalization and cultural development in the post-1500 world. The course will provide students with a multicultural perspective on the world, and deepen their understanding from a global perspective. Upon successful completion of ANTH 152, the student should be able to: Analyze global issues and events through inquiry and inform her/himself about the historical, geographical, cultural, political, economic, and religious contexts within which these issues must be understood and choices made. Compare and contrast her/his own and other cultures and the multiple perspectives, values, and identities they engender. Identify the world's different political systems, including democracy, and recognize that democracy can be practiced in differing ways. Link cultural literacy with language learning and actively pursue linguistic and cultural competencies in languages beyond her/his own. Communicate across cultures effectively by listening, negotiating, and speaking up. Translate global learning into ethical and reflective practice, mindful of the consequences of her/his actions in a locally diverse and globally heterogeneous community. Recognize the impact of culture in her/his own life, and believe that her/his personal actions, both individually and collaboratively, can, in turn, influence the world.
