| Understanding Ideology | |||||||
~~The world is full of “isms”: liberalism, conservatism, environmentalism, communism, capitalism, socialism… In this class, students will learn the defining characteristics of the most influential ideologies in the world today, how to identify these ideologies as they are represented in politics or pop culture, and the difference between worldview and ideology. Pairing this course with “Logic and Critical Thinking” is highly recommended.
