HUM 1161 - Humanities in the Modern to Postmodern World


Credits: 3

Catalog Description
This course covers the development and transformation of Western culture that began in the 19th century and continues in the 21st century. It illustrates how creative achievements like music, art, literature, philosophy, architecture, science, and society respond to, and reflect, the 20th century experiences of totalitarianism, mass society, modern technology, and world war. In addition, this course provides an understanding of how people inherit, as well as create, culture, and how new ideas contribute to a continuing dialogue about the human condition.
