Course Overview

This course explores the concept of values – and on a deeper level, ideologies – and how values affect groups’/individuals’ actions. Students will research social issues related to human rights, exploring different points of view, especially considering why different groups/individuals hold these points of view. Students will also explore what actions certain groups/individuals undertake to address social issues. Students will then research cultural change – how social values change over time, and the consequences of these changes. Level 2 students will explore how conflict can arise from different cultural beliefs and ideas, while Level 3 students will explore how ideologies shape society.
