MLL 240 - Project in Cultural Sustainability

(3.00)

This course has been designed to help UMBC students acquire the cultural literacy and develop the tools they will need to face the challenges of globalization. Adopting an intercultural approach, it will examine the ongoing impact of the Western value system on the world. In response, students will learn how to analyze the impact of globalization on local communities and consider alternatives. They will also develop the social entrepreneurship skills needed to position themselves as agents of social change. Because local community involvement is an important element in the development of cultural diversity, heritage, and a deeper appreciation of life values, students in the course will generate a community information web site reflecting the values of sustainability.
