ANTH-1010-60: The Human Condition-- People are fascinating! It is the goal of cultural anthropologists to increase our understanding of humanity, especially the diversity and complexity of human life and cultures. This course introduces students to the study and research methods of cultural anthropology. Students will study small-scale, pre-state societies, including bands and tribes. Examining the consequences of globalization for the inhabitants of the underdeveloped world will compromise a significant portion of this course. Students will investigate how anthropological principles and knowledge can be applied towards the solutions of global problems.
GRMN-1002-60: German Culture and Language -- In this course, we will have a beginner's look into the diversity of German as language and culture. Speakers of German come from a variety of countries, regions, and dialects and bring with them a tapestry of cultural, social, and historical characteristics that are even felt in Canada. We will trace some of this complexity as we explore how German-speaking countries or regions came about and why there is a German standard language alongside all those dialects, why English and German have so many similarities, how immigrant communities have diversified the German language and culture, and how visitors can best navigate a German-speaking region or country today. Students who complete this course will acquire an introductory competence in German as it is spoken, written, and lived around the world today.
INDS-1033-60: Video Game Theory-- This course will analyze the cultural and artistic significance of video games, and also the ways gaming reflects out larger relationships with technology. The course aims to discuss the relationship between video games and other media; the games and the gaming community; and the important of sociological, cultural, industrial, and economic issues that surround gaming.
PHIL-1024-60: Searching for Reality-- What exists, and how can we know it? Metaphysics and epistemology are the two branches of philosophy devoted to asking these questions, and this course is a historical examination of these two areas in Western philosophy. Each historical era will be viewed through the lens of a guiding question that frames metaphysical and epistemological investigation. Along the way we will discuss classical philosophical issues such as free will, the existence of God, the nature of consciousness, and the limits of science.
SOCI-1102-60: Sociology of Advertising-- The average person encounters over 3,000 advertisements a day. How do the advertisements we see impact us and our society? This course will explore the topic of advertising through a sociological perspective. It will focus on the representation of gender, sexuality, and race in advertising. This course will explore how advertising has reflected and reproduced societal issues like racism and sexism. A historical perspective of advertising will also address how advertising has developed alongside human history, from prehistory to the present age of social media. Advertising techniques and methods will be discussed and critically evaluated.
