In our rapidly changing world, people around the
planet are being brought into closer contact with each
other. The decisions made in the far corners of the
globe have increasing impact on our lives, more than
ever before. Students in this course will work towards
greater understanding of the people with whom they
share this planet. Through a study of the physical,
personal and cultural characteristics of regions around
the world, as well as types of governments, religions
and economies, students will strive to become more
familiar with the world around them.
