Course Description

Modern World History

Through participation in this course, students will journey through various historical epochs to assess how democratic ideals and individual self-determination are not unique to the American experience, but found within multiple nations and civilizations throughout time.  Students will trace the development of democracy from its historical and philosophical roots to its modern day successes and challenges.  During this journey, students will develop an understanding of key concepts, places, people, and conflicts within their historical contexts and students will be asked to evaluate how each of these historical issues are, or are not, connected to modern international affairs.
