CTI 285 - Comparative Revolutions

Institution:

William Jewell College

Subject:

Description:

We often label significant moments of change 'revolutions.' Such moments in time often revealthe significant differences between competing ideas and the reality of power and justice. This course will guide students through a comparative study of at least two revolutions, for example the French Revolution of 1789, the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century, the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, etc.. Some of the key questions involved in this course will include: How do we define revolution? What causes them? What influences their outcomes? Are revolutions primarily political events or must they also involve social and/or economic change? Who participates in revolution and why? Are some revolutions failures and others successful?
