This course will introduce students to the broad range of human cultures from prehistory to the present, taking a thematic approach rather than a strictly chronological one. In this course, we will cover various episodes in the development of human cultures across the globe, such as the rise of civilization, the emergence of urban societies, religious beliefs and practices, cultural contacts and conflicts, divisions between rich and poor, gender relations across cultures, and the artistic and literary achievements of the world. This course asks students to think critically about ideas within their historical contexts and to examine ways in which human expressions relate to and reflect broad intellectual and cultural patterns. Students will take a total of six credits of Human Traditions, three credits with designation history/political science and three credits with designation english/philosophy. This section is an examination of human endeavors from the perspectives of literature and philosophy and religion. Clarification:The Human Traditions requirement is a two-course sequence. The course will cover topics from different disciplinary perspectives and from different chronological periods.

This is the history/political science Human Traditions honors course. It focuses on one central theme: European Hegemony or domination and the making of the modern world system. It is not a traditional historical survey, nor a comprehensive outline of world history. Rather it has two conceptual and historical objectives. The first objective of this course is to introduce students to critical thinking about Eurocentrism, colonialism and nationalism. The second objective is to make students globally aware of the hidden interconnections and linkages that have tied us together in the process of the making of the modern world system. We will explore some of the diverse human traditions such as the re-conquest of Spain and its dominant influence in the Americas and the colonial force that was England and France which dominated much of Africa and its resources up to the 20th century.
