NL Studies 2205

The intent of Unit 1 is to provide an examination of the idea of culture in relation to the present and the distant past. 

Unit 1 focuses on how culture may be studied. It should be recognized that culture can be a difficult concept to define. For the purpose of this course, culture relates simply to the way of life of any group of people. 

Students should take time to examine how culture is expressed in their own lives, what forces influence culture, and what factors cause cultures to change. This should provide students with a basic set of inquiry tools which will be developed throughout the remainder of the course.
