    Description
    Surveys World Civilizations from antiquity to the 1500's, with a particular emphasis on the dynamic interaction and comparison of peoples and cultures. The focus is on the role played by social, political, economic, cultural, and religious forces in shaping the major world civilizations and the legacy of the subsequent civilizations for our world today. The course will analyze these forces within the context of such historical concepts as cause and effect, multiple causation, and historical interpretation.
