Society Challenge and Change
HSB4U0
HSB4U0
This course uses social science theories to explain why and how changes take place in individuals and society. Do you procrastinate? Eat Poorly? We do a behaviour modification experiment to try and eliminate a bad behaviour using positive and negative reinforcements. We look at trends in society (marriage rates, fertility rates, role of women) and predict what Canada will look like 20 years from now. You do not have to take HSP 3U0 to take this class. This course provides a great foundation for those taking University social science courses but also provides skills that are valuable in all courses such as writing a strong essay, conducting research and critical thinking.
