Surveying the great civilizations in
history's annals is a powerful cornerstone of a complete
education. To know how the people of various cultures
and eras have responded to the problems that confronted
them can help the individual student to gain breadth of
personal judgment and insights into practical, political
and personal action in today's world. Strive to make
the most you can of this educational journey!
- To gain knowledge of the world's great
civilizations.
- To gain insights into the interrelationships of
culture, geography, religion and politics.
- To grow in written expression about various
civilizations.
- To learn to become an independent thinker, and
not a mere reflector of other people's thoughts.
- To mature in the formulation of a personal
philosophy and understanding of history.
It is intended that the objectives above will be
achieved through the largely traditional means of
reading, writing, discussing, thinking, and analyzing in
individual and group situations. As in any course each
student must take personal responsibility for his or her
educational growth. |
