HUMN 3303
Modern Western Culture (3-0)
The purpose of this course is to foster in students an appreciation of the complexity and diversity of our Western cultural heritage through a survey of four major revolutions that were instrumental in shaping the modern world from 1650 to the present. These include the scientific, the social, the industrial, and the artistic. Through readings of primary sources, excerpts from major works, reproductions of art and musical works, and lectures, students will be stimulated to develop a capacity for critical assessment of many of the ideas and movements that have helped to shape the world they live in. Prerequisite: HUMN 3301 or 3302.
