Subject:

HSEC Homeland Security

Description:

Students explore the basic tenets of the major religions and the history of violence within each religion. They compare and contrast the religions and identify areas with the most potential for misunderstanding and conflict. They examine the use of violence since 1800 as a means of extending a religious agenda and the implications of such violence in the 21st century. Students examine other extremist organizations which, although not a religious organizations, exhibit a similar tendency to inspire some members to violence. Based on their examination of these religious and non-religious organizations, students formulate recommendations to reduce or redirect such violence into non-violent actions. (3 lect.)
