The changes in mankind and attitude are also evidenced by reading the literature of the old world. Cultural differences are also clearly laid out through this course. They are detailed in several of the assigned works and show you how different people lived and how they thought at the time. Whether you want to learn about foods, dance, mindsets, religious faiths or other aspects of other cultures it can all be done through the assigned readings in this course.

The final reason you should take this course is the way it can be applied to today's life. Learning about the Native American understanding of botanical life can provide insight to the use of herbs today. Taking information from the readings and applying them to current life is easily accomplished through the chronological works assigned in this course.

Globalization is an ongoing and current process. With this process...

The class will assist to this end by giving you a background understanding of various cultures around the world so that when you meet or work with others from around the world you will have a basic understanding of why they think they way they do.
In closing I want to encourage you to sign up for the class. I learned a significant amount about the world, its history and the evolvement of mankind because of the readings I was assigned. Plato and other works that were discussed in the class work together to provide an overview of the world and its cohesive ability. The different mindsets, cultures and eras all blend together to provide a blueprint of mankind and all it has been through. It is one of the most interesting classes I have taken and I hope you will enjoy it as well.

Sincerely,

Beth
