INTS 200.6- 1&2(3L)
CULTIVATING HUMANITY
This full-year course encompasses multidisciplinary material from both humanities and social science disciplines, coupled with a rich and intense community service-learning experience with those from other cultures and biographies. In this course we explore some common themes – what does it mean for us to be human, and how can we become more humane in the world? How does this process transform us as individuals and what obligations does it impose on us as ethical world citizens? Some of the engaging topics in the course include the necessity for critical self-examination to be human, the way social roles define us, moral development and moral disengagement, the demands of human dignity, empathy as the basis of world citizenship, understanding different perspectives and cultures, human rights, and the case for humanitarian intervention. The course is taught by a number of professors working together to encourage critical thinking, encourage curiosity, develop practical skills, and emphasize ways of integrating material from different disciplines. Our goal is to offer students some of the tools and skills needed to develop a coherent worldview and embrace the citizenship demands of a global era.
Prerequisite(s): 18 credit units of university study or permission of the director.
Note: The course may only be used toward requirement 7 in Arts and Science programs.
