This course is designed to explore the principles that have shaped America, and to weigh them against the reality of American life. Specifically, how have the values of justice, democracy, liberty, and equality been understood, and to what extent have they been fulfilled in contemporary American society? These questions will be pursued from a historical, philosophical, and social science perspective in order to provide students with a broad framework for analyzing whether we have created a society that is consistent with these four core American principles. A special emphasis is placed upon the role of social justice in social work.
