Goals
We will focus on the political, economic, and social events and issues related to industrialization and urbanization, major wars, domestic and foreign policies, and reform movements, including civil rights. We will examine major events and eras, and analyze their causes and effects. We will also be able to understand the importance of patriotism, function in a free enterprise society, and appreciate the basic democratic values of our nation.
Course Importance
Our future lies in our past. Understanding the environment and causes of major events from the past and the resulting effects can help us determine future outcomes in our current society and climate. History oftentimes repeats itself, but given the right knowledge and information, we can influence the situations to better ourselves, our society, and our future.
