People around the world welcomed the dawning of the 21st century with great enthusiasm. Warfare, famine, and general human suffering plagued the previous centuries. Although the world began a new millennium, many of the issues that mankind grapples with today has its roots in the distant and recent past. This course focuses on how the world evolved economically, politically, and socially by analyzing the “isms” of history. Students gain an appreciation of the differences in the world and will never look at history the same way again.
