Course Description:
This course uses insights from Anthropology, Political Science, and Sociology to develop students’ awareness of
cultural, social and political dynamics, and sensitivity to cultural diversity; provide them with an understanding of
how culture, human agency, society and politics work; and engage them in the examination of the country’s current
human development goals. At the end of the course, students should acquire ideas about human cultures, human
agency, society and politics; recognize cultural relativism and social inclusiveness to overcome prejudices; and
develop social and cultural competence to guide their interactions with groups, communities, networks, and
institutions.
