  • SSD 318: Confronting the Faces of Evil

    3.00 Credits
    College of Our Lady of the Elms

    In this course we examine humanity and civilization. The 20th century witnessed acts of barbarism and inhumanity of a scope and intensity unprecedented in human history. Rather than growing more civilized as the century went on, humans discovered and perpetrated more efficient and cruel methods of oppression and inhumanity. This course examines individuals who have had the courage to stand up to incidents of evil and inhumanity. The course deals with people who believe in social justice, human equality, and the basic goodness of humanity. What makes these people different from the rest of the society? What makes these people different from those who do nothing, or those who collaborate or perpetrate? We will examine these issues through the context of World War II Europe, the American Civil Rights Movement, and more recent world history.
