    Description
    The course is designed for Older Adults to investigate the forces of Nationalism that shaped Europe leading up to and including World War I. It also explains the meaning and importance of the age of “isms”: Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Marxism and Freudianism. It culminates with World War I and the Russian Revolution. These will be studied in order to draw universal observations that will enable Older Adults to understand constructions of family, community, and historical global issues as they relate to their lives. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
