Prerequisite: Eligibility for ENG 101. 3 credits formerly AN 201 Lifestyles and Outlooks: American Subcultures Old and New. Not offered every semester. American culture has always been a patchwork of different realities. Once derived from Old World ethnic entities, today's proliferating subcultures are based as well on age, religious beliefs, occupation, class and ideology. From cults to street gangs, from bag ladies to urban terrorists, all represent particular views of life. The course explores each of these and also considers ways in which such groupings contribute to or alter the nature of American culture and strengthen or weaken the social bond.
