Synopsis
The first six classes in the Ages of Globalization program provide a foundation for understanding human history, the drivers of global change, the effects of globalization on the planet, and the goals of sustainability, peace, and empathy.
In the fifth class, students will take a look at the evolution of economic, religious, political, and international institutions.
Through lectures, readings, and in-class activities, students will understand how institutions shape how we live today.
This lesson does an excellent job of showing students how they fit into the broad and global context in their local capacities.
Students will enjoy the hands-on exploration of the map in this lesson.
