Citizens of the 21st century will face problems of worldwide proportions. Examples of such problems might include “global climate change” (GCC), overpopulation, destruction of tropical rain forests or world hunger. In this course, students study such issues from the perspectives of history, philosophy, religion/ethics and aesthetics in order to understand the problems more completely. In addition, students apply their own systems of values and beliefs and seek solutions that they can begin to implement within their own environments.
