HS 250 - Ancient World Cultures And Civilizations

Alverno College

Subject:

Description:

Prereq. FA 110; HUM 150; CM 112 or IN 130 - This course provides the student with a chronological and thematic approach to world history from prehistoric times to 1500 C.E. By examining the first civilizations more than 5,000 years ago as well as succeeding civilizations, she learns that many of the institutions, practices, and beliefs of her own society today are not universal and unchanging, but were devised gradually to meet particular needs. A sense of how the world happened to evolve, and particularly how different cultures of the world took different approaches to understanding and dealing with the common problems of living, help her temper her assumptions about the universality and inevitability of life today.
