ISC101 THE HOLOCAUST: EVIL AND GOOD IN THE HUMAN CONDITION

3 credits
In the whole of human history there has never been an event like the Holocaust. Between 1933 and 1945, the Germans murdered over ten million people as a matter of state policy. In this introductory course, we will begin the study of the causes of the Holocaust, the events themselves, and the implications of the Holocaust for ourselves as individuals and for our own time. Prerequisites: RDG100, ENG101, or placement. Spring.

ISC102 MASS MEDIA AND POLITICAL ELECTIONS

3 credits
Manipulation of the public through the use of mass media is an ever growing part of politics. An informed electorate must be aware of this manipulation and how it is being used to play to their aspirations and fears. Through a review of current and past political advertising, stories, interviews, and press conferences students will be able to analyze what the underlying reasons are for what is being said. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, or placement. Fall and spring.
