3 Credit Hours Fall Sem. Movement in society stems from a need for fulfillment. People move for a variety of reasons, yet as Abraham Maslow pointed out in his Hierarchy of Needs, individuals seek out environments that provide survival (the basic mobility motivator), security (in modern times movement is sometimes associated with finding an environment that is friendly and conducive to growth), belongingness (being part of a group, event, or community), self-esteem (seeking out a destination that offers an opportunity to realize self-worth), and self-actualization (an opportunity to reach or exceed one's personal expectations). The global service economy that molds modern society has created a new breed of mobile residents who travel for reasons that stretch from pleasure to business, from planned activity to spontaneous decisions, from escapism to exploration. Each of these travelers becomes part of a mini-society within which the appropriate, specialized, human interactions are facilitated. This course will focus on historical travel and how politics, technology, business, and social issues have been and will continue to be an influence on the mobility patterns of a modern society. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Sociology I (SOC 101).
