Course Overview:
This class is exactly what it sounds like, looking at many social topics in global perspectives. Stepping into this class, it is very important to keep an open mind as it will allow you to view controversial issues in ways that you will not see at first. Throughout the course, we did many class discussions where people were asked to share their opinions, there were also many presentations involved, as well as working as a team, and many socratic seminars. All of which will help benefit you greatly and will help you grow as a person.
Course highlights:
I gained a lot from this course. This class has made me a stronger debater, speaker, and a more open-minded person. I learned that it is important to share opinions in an environment where we can all respect every individual's point of view as it will only create insightful discussions. I also learned that it is critical to be able to work with other people as it will only prepare you for the future. Being able to work with others is an important skill to have if you want to succeed.

3-5 hours
Advice for students:
My only advice for this course is to walk in with an open mind. There will be people who will share different opinions. Sometimes, you will not be able to comprehend why someone can possibly think differently, but it is important to keep an open mind and to respect each other's opinions. If you can do that, class discussions will be more enjoyable and you might even walk away with a new perspective of certain issues.
