SOSC 301 - Globalization and World Diversity

3 Credits
This course introduces students to socioeconomic, political and cultural dimensions of globalization. While employing an interdisciplinary approach, students explore the aspects and driving forces of globalization. Students analyze how macro globalization processes that transcend national boundaries, such as democratization, human rights, global finance, terrorism, pandemics, and environmental changes, impact lives of individuals in various regions of the world. The students critically assess the current and future impacts of issues, payoffs, dangers, and paradoxes of people’s choices about the global issues while emphasizing an institutional approach to resolving global problems.
