CI-181 Creating Change: Perspective Matters

Reality and perception have been debated and discussed for millennia. Humans see and experience their world in different ways. How do humans determine appropriate solutions for challenging social and economic problems? Why do most accept the current structures or status quo in regards to challenging problems? How do we gain a different perspective to find the vision and resources to erect new structures and thus challenge the status quo? Students will creatively explore these big questions through readings and presentations, studying examples of individuals and movements that have led to new and divergent perspectives. Students will participate by crafting products, creating visual projects, and coming into original thought via trial and error. Students will also develop their analytical and critical thinking skills, while learning to communicate effectively and honestly.
