USSO 230 - Leadership and the Global Agenda

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

The pervasive media climate of the 21st century has put the challenges of world in front of all of us: four billion of the world's people are living on less than $2.00 a day, whole continents are under siege by pandemics of the HIV/AIDS virus, and instances of man's inhumanity to man are daily headline news. The earth itself is weakened by emissions in the atmosphere, toxins in the rivers and oceans, and soil that is so thin and exhausted that the food it produces is a fraction of what it once was. In this seminar, students will develop an executive view of the state of the world, build skills in "Appreciative Inquiry," for conducting action research into the best practices of organizations, and develop a global consciousness, not only about the common issues experienced by peoples the world over, but also about a larger set of global values. Prereq: Passing letter grade in a 100 level first year seminar in USFS, FSSO, FSCC, FSNA, FSSY or FSCS. Prereq or Coreq: FSTS 100.
