In this course students will examine the big questions in life surrounding what is real, how do we know, what responsibility do we have towards each other and how do we live together in society. Students will hone their critical thinking and analytical skills while employing various philosophical theories to understand ethics, politics and the way we think. Students will learn to read and write critically while applying theories in creative ways using various sources of media. While learning these theories students will engage in debates and presentations; they will compose essays and will complete assignments where they can employ their own creative strengths. Prepare to have your brain hurt in a good way.
