WIC 177 - The Republic of Chile

Institution:

Franklin College - Indiana

Subject:

Description:

The Republic of Chile is a country which has been isolated in the past, both by geography and by intent, but which now aspires to join the organization of the 65 richest countries in the world. Chile possesses a great range of topography, climate, and wealth. Chile has a history that includes dictatorships, Marxist governmnents, and democratic governments, and does not seem wedded to any of these forms of government. Students will study the history and politics of the region, comparing and contrasting the Chilean experience with that of the USA. They will look at the commerce of the nation, and they will study the culture and lifestyles of the residents of Chile. There will be daily current events segments, relying on the Santiago Times articles available through Internet, both during January of 2006 and throughout the year prior to that month. Each student will be responsible for a 500-word report and a five minute oral summary of that report on an assigned sub-segment of this course. There will be weekly tests and out-of-class assignments which will include map exercises.
