Global Studies 

From our planned course of study:

Students will work their way through several units that intertwine current events and historical roots of challenges facing the world today.  Dynamic units will allow students to discover and utilize primary documents from the past as they analyze modern media to reveal continuity or change, bias or balance, and present alternative policies that can be employed to develop intelligent responses to the challenges of our day.  Topics include Roots and Responses to Terrorism, Competition and Cooperation in a Globalized World, Nationalism and 21st Century Balance of Power, and Challenges of the 21st Century (warfare, pollution, and human rights).
