This course focuses on human geography of the world, how different cultures, societies and populations interact and how we can work to make our planet a more equitable place for all. We'll try to answer questions like;

• What is our ethical responsibility to make sure there's an equal distribution of wealth?

• Why do individuals, companies, and governments continue to make unsustainable choices?

• How is globalization affecting your life, your community, your country? How do our choices and beliefs affect our responses to globalization?

• Are human rights issues more important than other global issues? Should we give higher priority to addressing them?

Students will practice their descriptive and persuasive writing and speaking skills in this course, as well as practice critical thinking and research. It is an excellent course to prepare for university!

Prerequisite: Any 3U, 3M or 3C course in History, Geography, Social Sciences, English or Humanities
