GEN 2020 INDIVIDUAL, SOCIETY & CONFLICT
An interdisciplinary writing-intensive course will investigate the origins of conflict including personal beliefs and interpersonal communication. Students will explore the origin of their beliefs and attitudes and the means by which attitudes and beliefs are transmitted from generation to generation. Cross-cultural attitudes about gender, race, and ethnicity will be explored. Conflict will also be explored through its portrayal in representative works of literature and art. National and international conflict will be studied along with methods for generating solutions for reducing or resolving conflict.
