Course Description:
In this course we will be looking at the changes in American culture that occur as the United States goes from relative isolation at the end of the 19th century to an active and integrated part of the global community by the beginning of the 21st century. We will examine ways in which U.S. culture was impacted by its international involvement. The course will examine why this happens and how Americans responded to this new international role. We will explore reactions to, and results of, that expanding role both inside and outside the United States. Throughout the course we will seek to answer the following two part question: Why does the United States move from relative isolation into an international role and what are the consequences for U.S. society of that change?

IAH courses encourage students to engage critically with their own society, history, and culture(s); they also encourage students to learn more about the history and culture of other societies. They focus on key ideas and issues in human experience; encourage appreciation of the roles of knowledge

    Course Description: The purpose of Philosophy 230 is to introduce you to the study of philosophical ethics. More specifically, our primary focus will involve a critical examination of some leading normative ethical theories – theories which attempt to determine what makes an action morally right or wrong; policies and laws just or unjust; states of affairs good or bad; and lives go well or badly. To that end, we will begin our course with the basic question of who should count in a moral theory; we will then critically examine leading accounts of intrinsic value; lastly, and for most of the course, we will focus on the question of what makes right acts right and wrong acts wrong. Here we will critically examine important works in Utilitarian, Kantian, Intuitionist, Social Contract, Contractualist, and Virtue Ethics traditions.…
