Geography (continued) 320-203-LA Planetary Challenge (Level II Geography for Social Science Students only) This course acquaints the student with contemporary world problems from a Geographic perspective. Topics covered are drawn from amongst a variety of themes which may include: environmental changes in the atmosphere, water and on land, population issues, global inequality, agriculture and nutrition, resource exploitation, and sustainability of current practices. These topics are pursued using active student participation in group activities, classroom discussion and individual assignments and research. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 320-101-LA 320-941-LA Environmental Systems I (For International Baccalaureate students only) This course aims at making it possible for the student to learn about the four major systems that must be considered in any study of the environment. Through case studies, the student will understand how the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and the lithosphere converge to form the ecosphere. The student will be taught to understand the relationship that exists between our natural habitat and patterns of human settlement. At the end of this course, the student will be able to work with various tools to study and understand the concepts of physical space such as geographical charts, topographic cuts and also the pattern of settlement on the planet (demographic pyramids, graphs etc). 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 320-944-LA Environmental Systems IV (For International Baccalaureate students only) This course aims at ensuring an integration of the elements seen in the preceding courses. Using theme seminars and case studies involving the exploitation of energy and food resources, the student will learn how to distinguish the concepts of natural capital and natural income. The student will also be able to calculate, using appropriate data, the ecological influence of given populations. The analysis of these results will make it possible for the student to understand the concept of limited capacity of a system and to identify realistic solutions that would permit concordance between the demands of the human population with regards to the limited capacity of the environment. This course will also provide a review and preparation for the final examination of the International Baccalaureate in Environmental Systems. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 101-943-LA 320-A1A-LA Geography: Planetary Challenge (Complementary course – not open to Social Science and Introduction to College Studies students) This course is designed to acquaint the student with contemporary world problems which have wide spatial implications. The main themes are: regional inequalities in production and consumption, overpopulation, malnutrition, the division of mankind into "developed" and "underdeveloped" based on concepts of dominance and dependence rather than interdependence, human migrations and dislocations, culture and political conflicts, over-exploitation of finite resources, deterioration of the natural and human environment, predictions for the future, and ways of re-establishing equilibrium. The prime objective of the course is student input through active participation in discussions, debates, presentations and research. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00
History 330-101-LA The Ancient World (History for Liberal Arts students only) The objective of this course is to give students an overview of the major periods, cultures and achievements, and historical development of ancient civilization, in particular Graeco-Roman civilization. Students will become aware of the originality of ancient arts, ideas and institutions, and of the historical influences of Graeco-Roman culture in the classical and post-classical periods. The major forms of literature of the ancient world will be introduced through the study of representative works, in English translation, from the major periods under study. In addition, students will be shown the comparative context of the study of civilizations in antiquity, a context which includes pre- Classical and non-Mediterranean civilizations. Finally, students will be provided with an overview of the kinds of evidence and methods of investigation on which knowledge of the ancient world is based. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 330-201-LA Twentieth Century (Level II History for Social Science students only) This course attempts to bring the student into contact with the major events and issues confronting the world today. Beginning with the glorious "Belle Époque" period and the Imperialist climax of Europe, it examines the tensions that led to the catastrophe of the First World War. The immediate effects of this watershed were the developments of Fascism, Communism, The Depression and World War Two. During the contemporary Atomic Age, Space Age and Computer Era, the course examines the crises of the Cold War, Environment and the Third World. Possible future global developments are also debated, using an interdisciplinary approach. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: Western Civilization 330-910-RE 330-202-LA American People (Level II History for Social Science students only) This course will cover the sweep of American experience, from pre-Columbian times to the present. The challenges facing the early makers of the United States in exploration and discovery; in society and culture building; in settlement and constitution making; in civil war; business, immigration and "foreign entanglements" will be examined in a general way, with attention to the American capacity to adapt, adopt and change. Present U.S. crises involving the cities, pollution, inflation, violence, race and foreign policy will be examined in the light of these "past challenges". 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: Western Civilization 330-910-RE 330-203-LA East Asia (Level II History for Social Science students only) The most dynamic and fastest growing region in the world today, East Asia- China, Japan, India, S.E. Asia and Indonesia- has also often set the pace in the past. This course examines these historic backgrounds and illustrates the richness of the civilizations of this extraordinary part of the world. As the upcoming leader of the area, backed by the depth of its historical legacy and traditions, China assumes a central place in our study, but the Little Dragons - South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand also claim attention. Present and future developments and challenges of these Pacific Rim countries are also surveyed. By the end of this course, students will be able to situate the specific contribution of social science to the understanding of this important region and assess potential career possibilities related to this emerging area. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: Western Civilization 330-910-RE 330-204-LA Genocide and Holocaust (Level II History for Social Science students only) This course will apply the general knowledge and skills acquired in the Western Civilization course to more intensely focus on the question of genocide and the Holocaust as historical phenomena. As such, the course will analyse the history of genocide form Antiquity to recent cases such as Rwanda. The course will begin with an overview of the main theories, typologies and definitions of genocide as well as key concepts such as war crimes, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing. We will then analyze possible cases of genocide such as Miletus in Ancient Greece, the Roman destruction of Carthage, the crusade against the Albigensians, the Mongol conquests, the colonization of the Americas, the Holocaust, Cambodia and Rwanda. Finally, the course will examine the question of denial and falsification in key cases of genocide in the 20 th century. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: Western Civilization 330-910-RE
