AI 236 ONE - World: Globalization

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

In this course we will review the history of the idea of a united, confederated, or culturally interconnected world-community - tracing it from its earliest beginnings in myth, prophecy, and imaginative literature to its current practical incarnation in the form of the world as we know it today (a world of free-trade treaties, international corporations, instant communication, increasing cultural homogeneity, rapid transportation, and an edgy, suspicious opposition between traditional cultures, each anxious about preserving its identity in the new global order.). The course will conclude with a modest attempt to glimpse and assess the likely future path and consequences of globalization while maintaining a primary focus on the moral, economic, and political issues at stake. Competences: H1X, H5, A1X, A3X, A4, S3X, FX. Faculty: David Simpson
