| Issues of Controversy in the United States |
|
The problems which face Americans are not problems limited to American society. They are problems which all nations face - or will face - at some point in the future, regardless of color or race. This course is intended for those students who wish to deepen their understanding of contemporary social issues of America and their subsequent implications for the rest of the world. Such issues as the death penalty, abortion, and alternative lifestyles will be examined. This is a highly interactive course in which students will be expected to participate in in-class discussions, debates, and presentations. Students will also participate in an ongoing dialogue with their classmates through an online bulletin board system in order to further explore and reflect upon the topics covered throughout the term. This course has three main objectives: 1. For students to become knowledgeable about, as well as critically analytical of the various perspectives and arguments surrounding each issue. 2. For students to explore and discover their own opinions about these issues. 3. For students to build their English language skills through the varied media and tasks used throughout the term. |
