COR 4410 Science and Humanity - War, Peace, and Prosperity
This interdisciplinary seminar will explore ways in which humans have manipulated the world around them through chemistry, and will examine, specifically, the historical and societal impacts those interactions have had throughout time, and continue to have in present day. Major topics of this course include: warfare, food and agriculture, energy usage and sustainability, medicine, and leisure and entertainment. For each topic we will consider various time periods and various cultures to better understand the current status of our planet and its people. Ultimately, we will use this understanding to envision how each topic might play out in the near and distant future. This course is writing intensive.
