CLS 181 - American Diversity
3 credits
This course is an interdisciplinary introduction to American diversity in the United States. The quest for common ground is emphasized by examining America’s diverse cultural roots through history, literature, music, visual arts, popular culture, and social theory. In particular, the course examines the varied immigration experiences to chart the historic evolution of American society. The push and pull factors that gave rise to the migration of distinct ethnic and religious groups to the U.S. from abroad; the struggles for acceptance and the achievement of civil rights by various minority groups; and the important contributions of diverse groups to American society, economy, politics and government, and the arts and humanities are investigated. Knowledge of diverse cultures and ethnic and religious subcultures in America and an understanding of global interconnectedness are important skills for achieving success in many occupations and professions; thereby directly contributing to a higher quality of life.
