HS263 World Civilization II
This course surveys the historical, cultural, and political highlights from the period of scientific revolution and age of discovery to the present. While particular emphasis is placed upon the development of modern political, social, and economic ideologies of the west and their impact upon world history, consideration will also be given to other cultures and their contributions to world developments. Both World Civilization I and World Civilization II present a comparison of the world views and values of the Western and the non-Western worlds. (Social Science/Human Culture Core course)
